TOKYO: Carriage Procession for Presentation of Credentials - Türkiye & Kazakhstan | Japan

The Presentation of Credentials Ceremony is a formal diplomatic event in which newly appointed ambassadors present their credentials to the head of state of the host country. In Japan, the ceremony is attended by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and other government officials, and the ambassadors present their credentials to His Majesty the Emperor. On the day of the ceremony, ambassadors travel from their embassy to Tokyo Station by official vehicle. From there, they proceed to the Imperial Palace in either a specially modified Toyota Century Royal or a ceremonial horse-drawn carriage, as requested in advance. The ceremonial horse-drawn carriage, a distinguished vehicle used in imperial events since the Meiji period (1868–1912), continues to play an important role in royal ceremonies today. For the presentation of credentials, one of these carriages, “Ceremonial Carriage No. 4,” is used. Manufactured in 1913 (Taisho 2), this carriage features a lacquered body adorned with the imperial crest in gold and is drawn by two horses. It has been used in official ceremonies for over 100 years and has become a symbol of Japan’s traditional ceremonial culture. On this occasion, His Excellency Mr. Oğuzhan ERTUĞRUL, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Türkiye, and His Excellency Mr. Yerlan BAUDARBEK-KOZHATAYEV, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Kazakhstan, presented their credentials to His Majesty the Emperor. 00:00 Carriage procession from the Imperial Palace arrives at Tokyo Station 02:41 Ambassador of Türkiye heads to the Imperial Palace by carriage 06:10 Carriage procession from the Imperial Palace arrives at Tokyo Station 09:26 Ambassador of Kazakhstan heads to the Imperial Palace by carriage 13:19 Ambassador of Türkiye returns to Tokyo Station by carriage 15:22 Carriage procession returns to the Imperial Palace 17:01 Ambassador of Kazakhstan returns to Tokyo Station by carriage 20:41 Carriage procession returns to the Imperial Palace April 17, 2025
