Princess Akiko visited Nara Prefecture October 24-25 for the All Japan Funeral Industry Cooperative Association 68th National Conference in Kashihara City.

About 220 members attended the October 25 conference which aimed to revitalize the funeral industry and preserve traditions. Awards were given to associations and affiliates for contributions to strengthen their organizations and expand membership in an industry where small-scale funerals, such as family funerals, have become the norm since the COVID-19 pandemic. A resolution was adopted to preserve and develop funeral ritual culture.

Princess Akiko said in her speech, "I hope that this message will provide an opportunity for all involved to reconsider Japan's funeral culture and think about the funeral culture we should pass on to future generations."
