Akasaka Palace, also known as the State Guest House, is one of two official state guest houses owned by the Japanese government.
First built as an imperial palace, it now serves as accommodation for visiting state dignitaries.
The two smiled as they walked side by side headed to a cultural program.
Melania and Mrs. Abe met with the founder and members of the organization Shine On! Kids, a non-profit organization that supports sick children with activities with facility dogs who are trained to encourage children in hospitals.
Shine On! Kids was created by American citizen Kimberly Forsythe, who launched the nonprofit after she lost her son to cancer in Japan.
After meeting with the nonprofit, the political spouses gathered at the annex for a Japanese bamboo flute performance, known as Shakuhachi, by master flutist Yosuke Irie.
