If you want to have a Japanese wedding, your local shrine is the best place 日本らしい
結婚式にしたいなら、

If international couples wish to have their wedding in Japan, the recommended place is their local shrine where grooms or brides were born and raised.

It will be a good way to convey the wonderful culture of Japan to guests from overseas. Here is a case of a bride who held a wedding at her local shrine.

Important things for international couples to prepare for a wedding in Japan 国際カップルが

進める際に大切なこと

Here are some tips from brides who live overseas
and held a wedding ceremony at their local shrine.

  • It's a good idea to share in advance what a Japanese wedding looks like with your partner on video sites.
  • The role of the bride and the groom is to explain the wedding to overseas guests, pick them up, take care of them on the day, and introduce both families to them.
  • I had a lot of supports of my family and my wedding planner in Japan to prepare for tasks.
  • Since there is a time difference, I always consulted with my wedding planner by email. Without meeting face to face or talking on the phone, I was still able to build a relationship with her.
