Princess Kako visited Campo Grande on day 6 of her official visit to Brazil.

The area, which became the fifth city for the princess to visit in this trip, is home to many descendants of Japanese immigrants from Okinawa.

Princess Kako offered flowers at a cenotaph for pioneers of Japanese immigration.

She also planted a Kanhi-zakura cherry tree which is a popular tree in Okinawa.

Princess Kako later attended a welcoming ceremony by Nikkei Japanese Brazilians, where she received an honorary award commemorating her visit.

She was seen shaking hands with the elderly participants and speaking with them.

She also visited a school attended by Nikkei students, and interacted with students who were taking a class on Japanese culture.

Princess Kako / That looks nice! You did a great job coloring it.

Princess Kako / You like purple? That's a nice color.

Princess Kako is scheduled to visit Brasília, where she will attend a commemorative event to celebrate the 130th anniversary of Japan-Brazil diplomatic relations.
