That child is the spitting image of her father. I wonder if that'll make it harder for the dinosaurs at the IHA to claim that she shouldn't be allowed to inherit the throne.

Is this their return from vacation? I am hoping so because it means they (Masako esp.) have had a long vacation. I know I've posted this sentiment before but I am so hoping this young woman will have a full recovery.

Aiko has grown up so much. There is something special about that family that makes me wish them the best in the future. Maybe their difficulty in having a child, the pressure to have a boy, the psychological difficulties of the princess, the promise her husband made before their marriage to always stand by her and watching him do so. All in all I enjoy every happy family pictures I see of them.

Thanks kei893265 for the pics. I believe that Aiko managed a wee smile in the last picture. I'm glad that Masako finally looks happy. :)

The pictures from Nagano station on August 29th wasn't them coming back from holidays but going on another holiday. They had already returned to Tokyo from their last holiday and Naruhito had performed some royal duties.

Nagano isn't close to Tokyo from memory I think it's about an hour by bullet train away and the royals have a holiday home in the area and each summer they spend a few days there. Nagano hosted the Winter Olympics in 1998 and it's a beautiful area in summer and very popular amongst the Japanese as a hiking area. Both Masako and Naruhito are keen hikers and there have been past photos of them in the Nagano area hiking.
