Prince Charles was in Japan on Oct. 22 and 23 of 2019 to attend Emperor Naruhito’s enthronement ceremony in Tokyo, which took place the first day the Prince of Wales was there.

Prince Charles was one of 200 guests at the ceremony, which is based on ancient rites handed down through Japan’s royal family for hundreds of years. He was joined by other royals such as King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, and King Carl XVI Gustaf and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.

But whilst he was in Japan, Prince Charles did more than just attend the ceremony. On Oct. 22, he stepped out to the Nezu Museum, an art museum in Tokyo that contains pre-modern Japanese and east Asian art. He was given a tour of the museum by its director, Koichi Nezu, and his wife.

Prince Charles, who is passionate about the great outdoors, also got a good look at the garden’s spectacular pond.
