上皇ご夫妻、皇居にお別れ　高輪皇族邸に３１日転居

　上皇ご夫妻は１９日午前、２６年余り過ごした皇居・吹上仙洞御所に別れを告げ、引っ越し作業中の滞在先となる葉山御用邸（神奈川県）に入られた。
　皇居内の乾通りには宮内庁職員らが一列に並び、拍手で見送った。ご夫妻は車内から穏やかな表情で会釈し、午前１０時すぎに皇居を後にした。吹上仙洞御所には天皇ご一家と秋篠宮ご一家が見送りに訪れた。
　ご夫妻は葉山御用邸滞在後、御料牧場（栃木県）に移り、皇居には戻らず３１日にそのまま高輪皇族邸（仙洞仮御所、東京都港区）に入居する。仮住まい期間は１年半以内の見通し。
　吹上仙洞御所は改修工事が終わり次第、天皇ご一家が赤坂御所（港区）から転居する。その後、赤坂御所も改修工事が行われ、完了後に上皇ご夫妻が移り住んで「仙洞御所」となる予定。（2020/03/19-11:58）

Former Japanese Emperor Akihito and former Empress Michiko moved Thursday out of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, where the couple lived for some 26 years.
   Lining up along the palace's Inui Street, Imperial Household Agency officials sent the couple off with applause. The couple, in a car, smiled and bowed to them.
   At the palace, the families of Emperor Naruhito and Crown Prince Akishino, the couple's first and second sons, respectively, also saw their parents off.
   The former Emperor and Empress, now known as Emperor Emeritus and Empress Emerita, will move to the Takanawa Imperial Residence in Minato Ward on March 31.
   Until then, they will stay at the Hayama Imperial Villa in Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, and the Imperial Stock Farm in Tochigi Prefecture, north of Tokyo.
