Getting married in Japan is an exciting and unique experience, but it requires meeting certain criteria such as obtaining valid passports or other forms of identification from your respective countries, a Certificate of Eligibility for Marriage issued by the local government office, and filling out necessary paperwork. Wedding ceremonies can either be traditional Shinto-style or more modern Western-style and cost between $10k - $50k USD. Additionally, language barriers and immigration laws may present additional challenges so couples should do extensive research beforehand. Despite potential issues, there are many benefits to getting married in Japan such as beautiful venues, intimate ceremonies and lower costs.
