Lifetime Ceremony HAPPO-EN

Our journey as a "lifelong wedding venue" began with an encounter with a particular couple.

An elderly couple is seen smiling and reminiscing while looking at old photographs in a Japanese-style restaurant.

As a "lifelong wedding venue," not just for the day you get married,
HAPPO-EN will continue to support you and your family throughout your lives.

One day, we met a couple who were dining at HAPPO-EN.

An old family photo album and a tea set, a warm scene reflecting on life's milestones.

This couple got married at HAPPO-EN 53 years ago.

Upon hearing her story, I learned that her husband was suffering from an illness and had been given a terminal diagnosis.

An elderly couple quietly enjoying a conversation in a traditional Japanese wedding venue.

"I'm not bragging, but for fifty years I've always been selfish and insisted on my own way."
I rarely have such a happy life. I can never thank my wife enough for supporting me through it all."

The husband spoke slowly and deliberately about his feelings for his wife.

After listening to their quietly overflowing emotions, we wanted to "deliver a memorable time for the two of you and your family."
"Why don't you have another wedding ceremony?" I suggested.

Then, as an opportunity for the husband to express his gratitude to his wife, and the wife to express her gratitude to her husband, they held a wedding ceremony to celebrate their 53rd anniversary.

The bride looked absolutely beautiful in her wedding dress, sporting the hairstyle she had always dreamed of but couldn't achieve back then, and her husband couldn't help but smile broadly.

An elderly couple holding hands in a park – a heartwarming scene symbolizing the joys of a happy retirement.

"I am truly happy."

This is the place where a couple who started a new life together at HAPPO-EN 53 years ago made their vows.
It was a day when we reaffirmed how important we are to each other and took a new step forward.
