Tokyo Wedding Festival 2026
On February 11, 2026, the Tokyo Wedding Festival will return to the main deck of Tokyo Tower, Club 333, for its fourth installment. This annual event, organized by Minato Ward and the Tokyo Wedding Forum, aims to celebrate marriages and partnerships under the theme, “If you’re getting married, Minato Ward is the place to be.” With a rich history of previous successful events, the upcoming festival promises to be bigger and better. Past events took place in the Minato Industrial Promotion Center and at Tokyo Tower in 2024 and 2025.
The spotlight will be on the
TOKYO WEDDING COLLECTION, where students from universities, junior colleges, and fashion schools are invited to submit their innovative wedding dress designs. This year’s theme is “Weddings Crafted by the Next Generation,” aiming to showcase the allure of weddings and identify young talents in fashion design. The effort is designed to inspire participants, allowing them to explore new possibilities within the wedding industry.
During the event, an award ceremony for the dress competition will take place, with the Grand Prix and finalist dresses modeled by the Aoyama Wedding Queen in an exciting fashion show.
Notably, former Miss World Japan representative, Kanami Yamaguchi, along with many past Aoyama Wedding Queens, will grace the runway, making the event a must-see for fashion and wedding enthusiasts alike.
