On October 28th, Princess Kako attended the 22nd Nihon Chukinto Africa Fujinkai (NCAF) Charity Bazaar at Royal Park Hotel in Chuo, Tokyo. She mainly purchased recommended items from each booth. At the Palestinian booth, she bought a traditional embroidered bag strap made by hearing-impaired women.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to women and children in the Middle East and Africa. 25 embassies and NGOs participated this year with booths showcasing traditional clothing, crafts and cuisine. The bazaar is held every 2 years. Former Princess Mako attended in 2019.
