Crown Princess Masako attended a ceremony in Nagano on June 2 that was her first official out-of-town trip in seven months as she recuperates from depression.
About 1,300 people greeted Masako and her husband, Crown Prince Naruhito, at a ceremony in Nagano.
Masako, 43, withdrew from virtually all public duties four years ago after being diagnosed with depression. She is still recuperating.
Masako has made private trips and attended limited official events in Tokyo but has avoided out-of-town duties, considered more strenuous.
