April 19–20, 2027
Schedule
Two days of celebration in Kyoto — a welcome gathering the day before, and the wedding day itself.
The ceremony and reception are the heart of it all, and we hope everyone can join us for that. We'll also be hosting a welcome gathering before the wedding day for those whose schedules allow — please feel free to attend whatever works for you.
Important We need accurate headcounts for each venue, so please RSVP separately for the welcome gathering and for the ceremony/reception. Please only RSVP if you'll be in Kyoto and able to join that specific day.

By Train
The nearest station depends on the line: Hankyu Kawaramachi Station — 20-minute walk. Keihan Gion-Shijo Station — 15-minute walk. JR Kyoto Station — 15 minutes by car/taxi.
By Taxi
About 15 minutes from JR Kyoto Station. Taxis cannot pick up or drop off directly in front of the venue — please ask your driver to use 高台寺南門通り (Kodaiji Nanmon-dori). From there, it's a short walk up a stone-paved path to the building.
Parking
There is no dedicated parking at the venue, and nearby coin parking lots can be crowded. Train or taxi is the easiest way to arrive.
A note on the walk up
The path from the street up to the venue is stone-paved and slightly uphill. If you'll be in heels — or just prefer to walk comfortably — feel free to bring a pair of flats or sneakers for the walk up. You can swap into your nicer shoes once you arrive.
