Komazawa University professor Naotaka Kimizuka has praised the ongoing visit to the Netherlands and Belgium by Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako as “extremely significant.”

“The trip to the two constitutional monarchies, both of which are original members of what is now the European Union, is extremely significant,” he added.
