OLD-FASHIONED RIVERSIDE WEDDINGS REVIVED NEAR TOKYO茨城 “嫁入り舟”に祝福

Visitors to a riverside garden near Tokyo enjoyed an old-fashioned wedding ceremony procession on a boat amid irises in full bloom.

On Saturday, a boat carrying a bride set out as visitors watching from the riverside applauded.

Until the 1960s, brides in white wedding kimonos could be seen in rowboats heading to meet their bridegrooms.

(Miyamoto Michiko / Bride) “It was a valuable experience that so many people congratulated us. It was a very happy day.”
