信任状捧呈式は宮内庁車馬課、皇宮警察、警視庁による馬車列が有名ですが、この動画ではそれだけでなく、東京駅長による出迎え、貴賓室の様子や、海外での日本の大使の信任状捧呈式の様子など、普段あまり目にすることのない部分にも焦点を当てています。

※信任状捧呈式とは、新任大使が信任状を天皇陛下に捧呈する外交儀礼で、これにより日本において正式に特命全権大使として認められます。
In Tokyo, you can see the fabulous procession of horse-drawn carriages at the Ceremony of the Presentation of Credentials, carrying a new ambassador to Japan to the Imperial Palace from Tokyo Station. Only a few countries worldwide, among them the United Kingdom and Spain, use horse-drawn carriages to welcome newly appointed ambassadors.
The ceremonial carriage used is said to have been built in the late nineteenth century. Every newly appointed foreign ambassador to Japan is given the option of riding to the palace in the carriage or taking an luxury automobile instead. No surprise, really, that almost all of them choose the former. Many ambassadors express a preference for the carriages, attesting to the success of the ceremony in promoting international goodwill.
