Crown Prince and Crown Princess Visit Poland & Finland


6 / 27 / 2019
Crown Prince Fumihito (Akishino) and Crown Princess Kiko departed to visit Finland and Poland.

Although they are Crown Princes and Crown Princess, 
the plane they use is not a dedicated plane but a civilian plane.

(The media say Crown Prince has declined, but I do not know the truth.
By the way,  former Crown Prince and  former Emperor were of course a dedicated plane.)

Thank you very much.
