Novotel Okinawa Naha (Naha City, Okinawa; General Manager: Kimitoshi Sakamoto) announces the hotel's first-ever wedding consultation event in collaboration with Okinogu Shrine, a historic shrine that has witnessed life's milestones and blessed family bonds and prosperity in Okinawa for centuries.
About Okinogu Shrine (Founded 1451)
Okinogu Shrine is one of the Eight Ryukyuan Shrines located in Onoyama Park, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. This historic shrine has been cherished by local communities for generations. Enshrining Amaterasu Omikami from Japanese mythology, the shrine is beloved as a deity watching over family bonds and life's important milestones.
Despite being located in central Naha, the shrine grounds offer a quiet and serene atmosphere, making it well-known as a place where important ceremonies such as weddings and engagement ceremonies can be conducted intimately with small groups.
At this consultation event, couples can experience the engagement ceremony at Okinogu Shrine and reception planning at Novotel Okinawa Naha, with staff helping to arrange every detail of this special "Hare no Hi" (celebratory day) that suits each family.
