His first daughter, Yoko, was born in Berlin, West Germany. In 1968, he returned to Japan just before his second daughter, Yuko, was born.[6]

Relationship with the Imperial family
[edit]- Because there are many relatives, only the successive emperors from Emperor Go-Yōzei onwards and related male descendants are listed. Therefore, the maternal family tree is omitted.
- His ancestor, Konoe Nobuhiro, was born as the fourth son of Emperor Goyozei, was adopted by Konoe Nobutada, and inherited the Konoe family line.
- His father, Hidemaro Konoye, was born as the son of Konoe Atsumaro and established a branch family.
As a patrilineal descendant of the Konoe family, Miyagawa is a nephew of former Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, and is a first cousin once removed of both the former prime minister Hosokawa Morihiro and his brother Tadateru Konoe. By virtue of his descent from the Konoe family, he is related to the Japanese imperial family, being a descendant of Emperor Go-Yōzei.
