Cultural Living Wedding―An Immersive Japanese Wedding Experience

Wabunka Hasshin Kenkyusha Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fujikawaguchiko Town, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture; CEO: Fumiko Osano) will begin the deployment of 'Cultural Living Wedding - A Cultural Immersion Wedding in Japan -', a new wedding model based on the philosophy of 'Cultural Living' to experience Japanese life. This project is a comprehensive initiative that integrates destination weddings, regional human resource development, and digital innovation, along with building a wedding brand that expands nationwide starting from Mount Fuji.

What is 'Cultural Living Wedding': A Wedding to Experience Japanese Life

'Cultural Living Wedding' is a stay-and-experience-based wedding that fuses Japanese culture, nature, food, and local living. It designs a wedding not just as a one-day event, but as 'a time to experience Japanese life.' We offer a wedding as a journey (Destination Wedding) where brides and grooms from overseas take their vows amidst Japan's rich culture and great nature.

'Mount Fuji Wedding', the Core of a Global Brand, and the Base 'THE LAKE Kawaguchiko Kurashi'

The symbol of this project and the core of 'Japan Wedding' is 'Mount Fuji Wedding.' Set against the global symbol of Mount Fuji, we will establish a wedding that fuses Japanese culture and nature as a global brand.

The bases for this initiative are the rented traditional folk house accommodations 'THE LAKE Kawaguchiko Kurashi' and 'Kawaguchiko Kurashi annex' located at the foot of Mount Fuji in Kawaguchiko. We offer a stay experience that truly embodies 'Cultural Living' by combining traditional house lodging, food culture, Japanese cultural experiences, and nature experiences.

A 'Family-like Wedding' Filled with Gentle Affection ── Messages from Overseas Guests

This project focuses on small-scale weddings of 20-30 people built from scratch, providing high-value-added experiences. What we value above all is a 'family-like wedding' filled with gentle affection. We received a warm message symbolizing the essence of 'Cultural Living Wedding' from a bride and groom who visited Japan from Dubai in March 2026 and held their ceremony at our facility.

<Message from Maui & Ichiro (Japanese Translation)> Fumiko-san, and everyone in the Osano family/team, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so deeply for everything you have done for us. (omitted) Preparing for a destination wedding in Japan could have originally been a very difficult and stressful thing, but thanks to all of you, everything became a very smooth, calm, and joyful time. I am so glad that you welcomed us warmly from the beginning and cherished us not just as guests, but as if we were members of your family. Every single thing you prepared has a truly great meaning to us. Thanks to your warmth and your willingness to go beyond expectations, our wedding became not only beautiful but also peaceful and full of love. We will forever etch this precious moment in our hearts with gratitude.
