**■ A New Proposal to Meet the Diversifying Ways of Celebrating Life's Milestones**
In recent years, as the nature of weddings and ways of celebrating life's milestones have diversified, the photo wedding market has expanded. However, processes such as costume selection, consultations, and the photo shoot are often fragmented, requiring multiple visits and scheduling adjustments, which can be a burden for the bride and groom.
This plan is structured to complete everything from costume selection to the photo shoot within a 3-day, 2-night stay, eliminating the need for multiple visits and making it accessible for those living far away. It is a special experience that combines efficiency with the stay itself becoming a cherished memory.
**■ A Residential Photo Wedding in an Important Cultural Property**
Hotel Chorakukan's main building, 'Chorakukan,' is a Western-style mansion built as a guesthouse in the Meiji era and is now designated as a National Important Cultural Property. This plan offers a photo wedding experience where the stay itself becomes a memory, not just a photo shoot, by conducting the photography within the cultural property space while staying on-site.
**■ 3-Day, 2-Night Schedule**
Day 1: Check-in, followed by costume selection
Day 2: Kyoto sightseeing (free time)
Day 3: Photo wedding shoot inside the hotel
Since the shoot takes place indoors, it is less affected by the weather, allowing for a stable schedule. The overnight stay also allows the couple to spend a relaxed and leisurely time together.
