We were invited by “Kyo-ryori Sakuai” to have a meal with other LST staff the other day.
Sakurai is located by the Myojin River in Kamigamo, Kyoto.
Every one of their dishes was meticulously prepared, beautiful and tasted superb.
We could also enjoyed fresh air, beautiful garden and the soft sun light coming through the big window.
It was such an extraordinary and luxury space and we could spend really wonderful, heart warmed moment thanks to Sakurai peoples’ sincere hospitality.
For the wedding reception at Sakurai, we can propose various coordination of the table cloth and flowers to meet the request of the brides and grooms to be.
“I want many couples to spend their special day of their wedding at Sakurai,” I really think so as a wedding planner.
I would like to thank Kyo-ryori Sakurai for such a wonderful meal.
In Meiji period, “Biwako Sosui (Lake Biwa canal)” contributed the development of Kyoto.
This spring, they started the ship transportation on the canal again after 64years.
LST did photoshoot on the boat once in the Spring when the cherry and rape blossoms were at their best.
This Autumn, we are offering the chartered boat cruise and the location photography at Lake Biwa canal.
You will have a special time under the leaves which have just began to turned red in the retro atmosphere.
Currently, only November 15th (Thu) is available.
Please feel free to contact us for detail if you are interested.
I went to the concert “call; you will hear the sound” at Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
It was held as a part of “FEEL KIYOMIZUDERA” project and they tried to express prayers in music.
The stage was set in “JOJUIN”.
There were improvisations on the piano and the guitar as the “Moon Garden” in the background.
I could feel that each sound played reached my ears and my heart was purified gradually.
Same as a prayer, the music was invisible and you can feel it with your heart.
And it gave me an opportunity to review myself while praying.
I really had such a wonderful time!
Today, I went to see the “Dohyo-iri (=Sumo wrestler’s ceremonially entrance into the ring)” at Kamigamo Shrine to which I was invited by the shinto priest.
Under the Autumn clear blue sky, as the 71st Yokozuna “Kakuryu” proceeded the “hanamichi” passage from the ante-room to “Dohyo (ring)”built in front of the Hosodono,
he got big cheers and applause.
While a lot of people were watching, Kakuryu dedicated his “Dohyo-iri”.
It is said that “Dohyo-iri” has the power to drive out the evil spirits.
And I found that Yokozuna was far big and powerful than I usually see on TV.
The history about the “dohyo-iri” at Kamigamo Shrine made me realize the greatness of Kamigamo Shrine once again.
I really appreciate that they invited me.
Today, we had a meeting at “Ristorante STRADA” where one of our clients will have a wedding reception next weekend.
The Chef himself attended the meeting so we could directly told him about the couple’s requests and thoughts.
Then we also discussed the details with the restaurant such as the program of the day and the timing of the meals to be served.
“Ristorante STRADA” is a stylish venue facing Oike Street.
We are really excited to see how wonderful wedding reception it will be!

Some photos were taken at the building which is designated as the cultural property by Tokyo Metropolitan government.
境内は緑豊かで、たくさんの写真スポットがございます。
There are so many nice spots for photo shooting surrounded by the lush green in the premise.

The photo shooting went really smoothly as we teamed up with a photographer and a stylist whom we already worked together in September.
And the model did very well both in the kimono and the dress.
We would like to express our gratitude for the cooperation by Akasaka Hikawa Shrine and all the people who supported us.

In traditional “Shiromuku” with a wig.
In “Konno Hachimangu”, you cannot believe that you are in a big city like Shibura as the place is so quiet.
“Shiromuku” looks beautiful in the solemn atmosphere of the shrine.

Wedding Dress
The photo was taken in Marunouchi.
Although the wedding dress is worn by the same model as above “Shiromuku”, it gives you quite different impression by changing the costume and the hair style.
(Dress by Marie Classe)
To provide wedding service in Tokyo, we did photoshoot with a model at “Konno Hachimangu” shrine and Marunouchi.
Although it was raining and both the photographer and the stylist worked for us for the first time,
they did great job and we could proceed the photoshoot in a good atmosphere.
We are really looking forward to presenting the photos to you.
We would like to express our gratitude to Konno Hachimangu and all the other people who cooperated with us.
