Experience Traditional Japanese Culture at The Westin Yokohama

On October 25, 2025, the esteemed Westin Hotel Yokohama served as the backdrop for a wedding ceremony that offered not only the celebration of love but also a unique opportunity to engage with Japan's rich cultural heritage. Organized by YSF Co., Ltd., based in Tokyo, this event was part of their initiative through GreenTeaTokyo, which specializes in providing Japanese cultural experiences.

Event Highlights

Approximately 200 guests attended the lavish wedding ceremony, with around 60 participants specifically engaging in the cultural experience booths designed for visitors, primarily from overseas. This initiative aimed to introduce traditional Japanese customs to an international audience, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with learning and appreciation.

Among the highlights was the Matcha Experience, where attendees were taught how to prepare matcha using a tea whisk (chasen). Participants were thrilled to make their own tea, enjoying the subtle differences in flavor and aroma during this hands-on experience. The enthusiasm was palpable, perfectly captured by joyous exclamations of "Matcha!" as individuals savored their creations.

Moreover, the Origami Experience allowed attendees to explore their creativity by working with colorful washi paper to create traditional artworks such as cranes and samurai helmets. Many participants expressed their delight, saying things like, "This was my first time trying origami, and I loved it!" and "I truly felt the allure of Japanese culture through this experience!" The event catered to all age groups, ensuring that both children and adults enjoyed every moment.

The event took place on a serene autumn Saturday, and it became clear that there is a growing interest in Japan’s traditional practices when shared in friendly and engaging settings like this wedding. Participants praised not only the activities themselves but also the connections they made with the culture and with each other.
