In September 2021 it was learned that the wedding would take place at the Government Palace in the form of a simple ceremony. The wedding date was announced three days after Princess Mako’s 30th birthday.
On October 26, 2021, Princess Mako officially married Kei Komuro at the local district office, after which she lost her royal title and became a commoner as required by imperial household law. She was supposed to receive $1.3 million after leaving the imperial family, but she refused the amount and became the first female member of the imperial family to refuse a cash gift and a formal wedding.

For now, she will move to her residence in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, as she cannot stay in the imperial apartments.
