Just having a feeling that something is missing, the imperial couple are there, the cool-biz minders in navy blue blazers are there, well-wishers are there.
Then I realised that the only person carrying a bag is the Empress Michiko.

I wonder if they've ever had a proper holiday, lazing on a sandy beach....

Cleo-san,
Perhaps Hayama beach?

When have you ever seen the Emperor or Empress carrying luggage? And that really isn't a bag, and typical of most females it's called a purse.

Yubaru, a purse is something you put in a handbag. It's used for carrying cash, credit cards etc. Not all English speakers use American English, you know.

Not much privacy with all those minders around......
