The Empress Emerita visited the Imperial Palace with the Emperor Emeritus and received medical treatment at the Hospital of the Imperial Household.
The couple, who were both wearing masks, left the Takanawa Imperial Residence at around 10 a.m. and greeted their neighbors from their car. They arrived at the Imperial Palace about 15 minutes later.
