Hi, guys!!

Today, I introduce you the common Japanese style of weddings in now days!!

Firstly, take a look at the below graph!!

*Researched by the wedding magazine "Jaran"

As you can see, Japanese people do not take wedding parties at shrines and temples like in the past!!

Unfortunately, It is common to take a wedding party at a Hotel,  and the style are shifting from the Japanese way to the Western way!!

Ahaha...Stop a difficult explanation so far...

I assume that you guys are interested in present Japanese Wedding party, so...

Let's move on to the explanations!!




Awesome Japanese Hotels services!!

The most of high class Japanese hotels have a Christian Church room, a Japanese Shrine room and a Muslim Church room as facilities.

The reason of having these rooms are for to provide various religious people to take a wedding ceremonies at a hotel.

Awesome service right??

This is one example showing you our generous heart!!

Anyway, the above service has swept away the current actual shrine wedding to shift to take at western style hotel weddings.

But there are persistent popularity of having wedding ceremonies at the actual Japanese shrines still, so... Do not worry...we do not lost our Japanese like minds yet (^^)

But only 25% couples are taking Japanese shrines, so...the common standard Japanese wedding party is the hotel style and also...We have held our wedding at Dai-ichi Hotel Seafort at Tokyo too (^^:)
