Wedding World 結婚式

A special report on the Wedding Village in Tokyo.

Wedding Village? That the he.. is that?



In Japan you can choose to marry traditional Japanese or Western style. Some even choose to do both on the same day. A traditional wedding is in a beautiful Japanese kimono in a temple. Western wedding is in a beautiful dress in a hotel or in the Wedding Village. Imagine: you marry in the nice church below with a beautiful stairway for a breathtaking descent.







You walk through idyllic streets with idyllic stores to receive all those congratulations of your family and friends, radiating happiness.









Every now and then you throw a glance in the shops while receiving even more good wishes.




Also our four footed friends are in the party.



You might ask by now why there is nobody there.



No weddings today. Sorry.



This village is specially built for western weddings.



It is all fake. Except for the church it is all décor, like a big film set. The stores are fake. With fake shopwindows. The shops only have a front facade, no backside. Really nothing is real. Also for this dream place the saying goes: dreams are deceiving. Wedding Village is located in an industrial area on Odaiba. At the exit you can, step in your Nissan Micra, wearing your beautiful wedding dress....on the way to the normal and real life of marriage.


Wedding Village was discovered by Harold when we left him out cycling unchecked. ;-)

This wedding report is specially recommended by Rosa (a very faithful blog reader) who gave us a special birthday calender for our apartment in Tokyo. A calender showing Máxima, the Mother Of All Weddings.
