Prince Hisahito’s First Press Conference: A Glimpse into Japan’s Future Emperor

Prince Hisahito, an 18-year-old son of Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko, opened the curtains to his inaugural press conference on Monday at Akasaka East Residence in Tokyo. This was, indeed, a milestone in his journey as a member of Japan’s Imperial family.

The Prince Hisahito Stepping Forward

The press conference kicked off at 2.00 p.m. with Prince Hisahito expressing deep concern for the recent wildfires in Iwate Prefecture and other places. “I hope things will come under control fast,” he expressed sympathy. He said the Interrex should work very closely with the people.”We must be constantly aware of the people and close to them.”

His Upcoming Route

Prince Hisahito, presently in his last year in Otsuka High School in Tsukuba, is second in line to the throne after his father. Japan’s Imperial law allows the crown to be inherited only by men, quite unlike other countries where women can ascend the throne. So, taking into consideration everything, Prince Hisahito cannot be doubted to be central in that regard.

He now comes of age in September, being 18 years old. In the ensuing debates, there are many references about the change of age from 20 to 18, whereas, indeed from the earlier stage, his father, Akishino, was the last male member of the Imperial family coming to adult age about 4 decades earlier in 1985.

An Interest in Science and Nature

From April on, Prince Hisahito will start studying biological sciences at the University of Tsukuba, School of Life and Environmental Sciences.

 His deep love of nature is complemented by his hobbies: ” I like planting and harvesting vegetables and rice. “Biting bugs disturb my tomato plants, and my rice field is plucked by sparrows. But I am happy to see my crops harvested, ready to be eaten with my family,” he said, beaming with a grin.

Towards the Future

Hisahito spoke during the press conference on the occasion of accepting his responsibility as a royal. “Being an adult now, I will take my duties seriously while asking for help from those around me,” he announced.

At first, he looked nervous, but he became at ease and smiled while he spoke. His ceremony to mark his manhood is scheduled for September 6, 2025, the day he turns 19. A special moment for a young prince potentially destined to be the emperor of Japan.
