Forestana Karuizawa, the wedding venue at Karuizawa Prince Hotel in Nagano Prefecture, will hold a March-only bridal fair called the "Mimosa Fair" on weekends and public holidays from March 1 to 29, 2026. Themed around mimosa flowers — a symbol of International Women's Day — the event is aimed at couples currently considering a wedding.
The fair includes a mimosa-decorated welcome item display, a free tasting of the new prefix menu launching in April 2026 (featuring two main dishes for comparison and a special dessert by the hotel patissier), and an end-roll movie screening experience. All visiting couples will receive a special mimosa petit gift.
