Century-old film footage of Empress Teimei, Crown Prince Hirohito found in Japan - The Mainichi
[...]

The footage, found at Kogakkan University in the Mie Prefecture city of Ise in western Japan, shows Empress Teimei following a visit to Ise Jingu shrine in Mie Prefecture to pray for the recovery of Emperor Taisho, who was unwell, and Hirohito as crown prince visiting the Fushimi Momoyama Mausoleum in Kyoto with the crown princess to report on their marriage. It also includes rare footage of scenes around Yamada Station on the Sangu Railway (present-day JR Iseshi Station) at the time.

A total of 3 minutes, 50 seconds of the footage shows Empress Teimei visiting Jingu Kogakkan University (now Kogakkan University) on Nov. 5, 1922, with bureaucrats from the Home Ministry and court ladies accompanying her to Ise Jingu shrine. Another 4 minutes, 15 seconds of footage taken on Feb. 27, 1924, shows the 24-year-old crown prince visiting the mausoleum.

Both videos are in black-and-white and do not have sound. The footage was found on a Beta videocassette, apparently after being copied from films in 1982 when the university marked the 100th anniversary of its founding. [...] The location of the original films is unknown.
