  This looks like Crown Prince, later King Gustav VI of Sweden:
  "Gustaf VI Adolf (Oscar Fredrik Wilhelm Olaf Gustaf Adolf; 11 November 1882 – 15 September 1973) was King of Sweden from 29 October 1950 until his death. He was the eldest son of King Gustaf V and his wife, Victoria of Baden, and had been Crown Prince of Sweden for the preceding 43 years in the reign of his father."

  and his second wife, Crown Princess Louise (born Mountbatten), later Queen of Sweden"
  "Louise Alexandra Marie Irene Mountbatten (previously Princess Louise of Battenberg; 13 July 1889 – 7 March 1965) became Queen consort of Sweden in 1950 and served as such until her death in 1965. Through her marriage, prior to her husband's accession as King Gustaf VI Adolf, Louise was Crown Princess of Sweden and Duchess of Scania."

  The couple visited Japan in September and October 1926, as part of a world tour. A detailed account of their travels, which provides clues as to where this photo was taken, is at
