Question 1

How much does a Nagano / Yatsugatake wedding cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary by guest count, venue, and styling, but intimate weddings (10–20 guests) typically range from ¥800,000–¥1,500,000. We are transparent about fees from the very first consultation. Book a free call to get a realistic estimate for your vision.

Question 2

Can we plan a destination wedding from Tokyo or abroad?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many of our couples travel from Tokyo, Kanagawa, Yamanashi, or overseas. Chino and the Yatsugatake area are about 2 hrs 15 min from Shinjuku on the Azusa express. We handle guest accommodation and transport coordination too.

Question 3

Do you specialise in small / family-only weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes — intimate ceremonies are our sweet spot. From elopements and micro-weddings under 10 guests to relaxed receptions of around 30, we design each celebration around your people rather than a template.

Question 4

How far in advance should we start planning?

Accepted Answer

We recommend 6–12 months ahead, especially for popular seasons (early summer and autumn). That said, we will always do our best to work with your timeline — reach out even if your date feels soon.

Question 5

Which venues do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We have experience at Yatsugatake Nature Park, Chino Civic Hall, Komin-ie, and resort properties in the Tateshina area, among others. We match venue to your guest count, style, and atmosphere — outdoor garden, indoor banquet, or elopement shoot.

Question 6

Can we book a location photo session without a ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Location shoots in kimono or Western dress are available independently. The Yatsugatake highlands, birch forests, and alpine meadows make for genuinely stunning images in every season.

Question 7

Is full English-language planning available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer complete English-language service — consultations, proposals, vendor coordination, and on-the-day support. International couples and mixed-language guest lists are warmly welcome.

Question 8

What happens in a free consultation?

Accepted Answer

We talk through your vision, guest count, timing, and rough budget via Zoom, LINE video, or in person. Nothing needs to be decided yet — this is an open conversation to see if we are the right fit for you.
