Japanese Emperor to Visit Baltics

Posted by Amanda Kendle Jan 6, 2007

Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan have recently confirmed that they will make an official visit to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania during their May 2007 visit to Europe. In just a ten-day trip, they will also tour England and Sweden.

Having lived in Japan myself for two years, I can see plenty of obvious differences between the Baltic countries and Japan, but one thing they have in common is friendly, welcoming people - especially, as I often mention, in Estonia. And of course if the Emperor or Empress need any tips for their tour, they can visit us here and read all about their destinations! We'll keep you up-to-date with their exact itinerary closer to the time.
