Meiji Kinenkan: Your Destination for Memorable Engagement Celebrations
When it comes to significant life events, few are as important as engagements and family introductions. At Meiji Kinenkan, we understand the importance of these moments and offer a carefully crafted plan designed to cater to your needs during this special time.
The Essence of Yuinō and Okaoawase
The Japanese engagement ceremony, known as Yuinō (結納), carries a rich history. This formal ritual signifies the commitment of both parties, symbolizing the union of two families. On the other hand, Okaoawase (お顔合わせ) offers a more relaxed atmosphere, where families gather over a meal to celebrate the forthcoming union and foster familiarity. With us, couples can choose between a traditional Yuinō ceremony or a casual family meal, ensuring that their unique preferences are honored.
