Dressing room at Kibune Shrine
The mirror and the chairs are from “LST BOTAN”.
I was very happy to see the bride and groom were actually using the furniture.

Wedding ceremony
Wedding ceremony was taken place in the solemn and visionary atmosphere with dance of “Miko-san (=priestesses)”.
We supported a couple to get married at Kibune Shrine on 28th July.
The clean fresh air and cool sounds from the stream made me feel as if I was in some mountain resort.
It is worth having wedding ceremony at Kibune Shrine even though it is rather distant from Kyoto station and you need to drive for a while.
The weather is much cooler, usually 10℃ lower than in the center of Kyoto city.
Kibune Shrine has been venerating god of water and god of “good match” from the ancient time.
Surrounded by abundance of nature, you can having your wedding ceremony with feeling of the season.

LST BOTAN
A shop in “Machiya (townhouses)” is located five minutes’ walk from LST Wedding. It sells made-to-order and ready-made furniture and other items made of solid wood.
The arrival of Autumn can be felt in the evening recently.
We held a concert of “Koto and Shakuhachi (Japanese harp and flute)” at LST BOTAN on 21st August.
We got many guests in spite of week day night.
The music played were classical “Rokudan-no-shirabe”, contemporary “Kibitaki-no-mori” and “Etupirka” by Taro HAKASE.
The sound of koto and shakuhachi was reverberating through the “Machiya (townhouses)”, a traditional wooden house of Kyoto.
We heard some good comments from the guests;
“This was the first time to listen koto and shakuhachi sounds. It was beautiful.”
“I enjoyed sitting in the lovely Machiya space.”
“I felt so comfortable surrounded by the wooden furniture.”
There will be an exhibition of wonderful textile by “Kanon” in September.
We would like to keep providing goods, space and time to make your everyday life better.
Thanks so much for all those who came to the concert!
LST Kyoto Salon reopened after renovation in the same building.
If you get off the elevator on the fifth floor, you will find the salon right in front of you.
Adjacent to the salon are the dressing room where our clients to be dressed on the wedding day and the photo studio.
The salon welcomes you to visit for the preparation of your wedding in advance and also for the use on your wedding day.
There is enough space for a groom or family members to wait for a bride while she is doing bridal makeup and hairstyle rehearsal with our stylist.
We are looking forward to serving many couples at our renovated LST Salon in Kyoto with the concept “To make the wedding ceremony more beautiful, fun and valuable moment”
We hold a ryoutei restaurant wedding fair at “Saami (ryoutei restaurant)” the other day.
It counted 12th summer since we had started the fair in 2004.
All the LST staff tried our best to propose Japanese coordination and presentation.
Saami is a ryoutei restaurant known for its superb meals and beautiful location in “Maruyama”.
And Okami-san (= madam) and all the staff always serve customers with nice smile.
We are going to have an exhibition named “LST OATSURAE-TEN PARIS” from 8th (Tue) to 14th (Mon) September in Paris.
It will have Shiro-Muku (all white kimono) and Iro-Uchikake on display and visitors can try the wedding costume with Katsura (hair wig).
We are going to exhibit some furniture from our shop “LST BOTAN” as well.
I am so thrilled to attend the exhibition as a Japanese style wedding planner.
It is the first time for me to introduce “WAKON (traditional Japanese wedding)” to the people in overseas and I am really looking forward to it.
Mr. and Mrs. S visited LST salon the other day. They got married with our service six years ago and we have been in contact since then.
Their daughter, “Wakana” will turn 1 year old soon.
It was the first time for us to see her, a new member of a family of four.
She is a cute girl with her father’s eyebrow and the eyes of her mother.
They were a bit surprised when I said “I still keep my portrait you gave to me, and display it at home”.
Those lovely gifts and happy memories with them gave me a lot of courage until now.
It is a great pleasure for me to see the couple got married and then built a family over the years.
We’ll welcome your call saying “We are now very close to your salon…” any time.
Thanks for visiting us in the heat!
Yesterday, we had a dinner with Kamigamo Shrine people; two Shinshoku (=priests), three Miko-sama (=priestesses) and three of LST planners.
One of the Shinshoku got married this March with our service. We talked about various subjects include his wedding, “Shikinen Sengu” and other local events.
We have been learning a lot from their flexible attitude to adopt and try new thingsKamigamo always.
They will have a very important event, “Shikinen Sengu” this year.
We are so grateful that we can assist wedding ceremonies at historical Kamigamo Shrine, and we will devote ourselves to provide good service.
Thanks for the wonderful time.
