Prince Harry has landed in Japan and told reporters it was "good to see you again" ahead of a summit about sport, community and philanthropy.
Harry arrived at the city's Haneda Airport wearing a black shirt and a dark cap without his wife Meghan Markle.
Footage from Japanese TV network ANN News shows Harry walking through the terminal alongside his friend, Argentinian polo player Nacho Figueras.
One reporter could be heard asking the Duke: "How do you like to be in Japan for the first time in four years?" before he replied: "Good to see you again."

Harry is set to attend a fundraising Sentebale Polo Cup match in Singapore this Saturday with Figueras in aid of young people affected by HIV/Aids.
A video of the Duke's arrival was shared on X by Omid Scobie, co-author of Harry and Meghan's biography Finding Freedom, just after 1.30pm UK time.
He said: "Lots of fans waiting for Harry in arrivals. The Royal Family have always had a big following in Japan (especially Princess Diana) and interest in the Sussexes continues to be strong.
"Fun fact: Finding Freedom is one of the few royal books to get a full Japanese release!"
Tomorrow, the Duke of Sussex will attend the ISPS (International Sports Promotion Society) Sports Values Summit "Special Edition".
He will join a panel discussion with former New Zealand rugby player Dan Carter who is an ambassador for sponsor of the polo cup, ISPS Handa.
The Duke will also stage the Sentebale Polo Cup in Singapore on Saturday, with the money raised used to support the organisation's clubs and camps programme, which provides psychosocial support to young people living with HIV.
Speaking ahead of the event last month, Harry said: "The annual Polo Cup is essential to Sentebale's vital work ensuring children and young people are healthy, resilient, and able to thrive.

"In a time where being HIV positive is no longer a death sentence, we are empowering young people to know their status, stay healthy, and eliminate the stigma so that they can break the cycle."
