Why Miyakojima

Japan’s most
beautiful island.

Miyakojima sits at the southern tip of Japan, a world apart from the temples of Kyoto and the towers of Tokyo. Here, the water is the colour of a dream — layered blues and greens so vivid they seem unreal. The beaches are soft, the air is warm, and the pace of life slows to something worth remembering.

Eloping here means your ceremony takes place against one of the most beautiful natural backdrops on earth. No venue hire, no ballroom — just the ocean, the light, and the two of you. Our local team, led by Yuri, has deep roots in the Okinawan wedding industry and handles every detail so you simply arrive and experience it.

Everything you need
to know

Where exactly is Miyakojima?
Miyakojima is an island in Okinawa Prefecture, situated in the southern Ryukyu Islands. It is approximately a 3-hour flight from Tokyo and 2 hours from Osaka. Direct flights operate from major Japanese cities, and the island has its own airport.
What is the best time of year to elope in Miyakojima?
April through October offers warm temperatures, clear skies, and the vivid blue water the island is known for. The peak season is May to September. Typhoon season runs from June to October — we monitor conditions closely and plan flexibly. November through March is quieter, cooler, and still beautiful.
Can we legally marry in Japan on the island?
Legal marriage registration in Japan is possible for many foreign couples, though requirements vary by nationality and home-country recognition rules. We can guide you through the process and connect you with the relevant local authorities as an add-on to any package. We recommend confirming recognition with your home country before travelling.
Is hair and makeup included?
Yes — one hair and makeup session by a Japanese stylist is included in the Miyakojima package. Additional sessions for partners or guests are available as an add-on.
Do we need to speak Japanese?
Not at all. Yuri and our full Miyakojima team are English-speaking Japanese locals. All planning, vendor coordination, and ceremony direction happens in English. You arrive and simply enjoy the experience.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend enquiring at least three to six months ahead, particularly for the April to October season. Popular dates fill quickly. That said, if you have a specific window in mind, reach out and we will let you know what is possible.
