Japanese Wedding Traditions and Customs

Japanese weddings are steeped in rich traditions, from Shinto ceremonies at shrines to the symbolic exchange of sake during the san-san-kudo ritual. This image is of the 'kagami-biraki' The breaking of the sake barrel. The bride often wears a white kimono to symbolize purity, followed by a vibrant colored uchikake robe for the reception. Guests typically bring monetary gifts in beautifully decorated envelopes called goshugi. Incorporating these customs into your destination wedding can provide a meaningful connection to Japan’s culture, even if you opt for a modern or blended ceremony.Keywords: destination wedding japan (387).
