Recommended Wedding-Themed Date Course in Tokyo ♡
Shopping spots and sightseeing areas.
Tokyo has many spots that you want to visit during your wedding preparations ♡
It’s certainly good to visit them multiple times, but if you become a pre-bride, it might be efficient to visit all the well-known places in one day.
You will probably feel the essence of being a pre-bride, thinking, “So this is what wedding preparations feel like~~♡”
Therefore, this time, we propose a date course to visit wedding-related spots in Tokyo that you would like to experience when you become a pre-bride ♩
Considering the business hours, we planned the order and route to minimize transfers and make the movement easy ♡

The first place you want to visit is Kisho Shrine, located near Koenji Station. This is the only shrine in Japan dedicated to the god of weather ♩
