Probably for similar reasons that Royal Succession in Canada does not violate s15 or s28 of Charter. See article 2 Japan Constitution, "The Imperial Throne shall be dynastic and succeeded to in accordance with the Imperial House Law passed by the Diet." japan.kantei.go.jp/constitution...

Never had much interest in #motorcycles till I stumbled across #OffSheGoes by Runa Grydeland of Norway on youtube. Have really enjoyed her adventures on her Husqvarna Norden 901 especially New Zealand and Wales (with #LNRmoto who has a great Namibia trip). Pretty much hooked.
