Traditional Japanese Wedding Dress by Wow Japanese
Brides host their wedding ceremony at a shrine wear a shiromuku, a white wedding kimono, which represents "the purity and sacred of the bride," and a wataboshi, a white hat (acts as a veil), is often worn, too.
While western style of wedding and bridal gowns have become quite popular among Japanese brides over the years, Shinto Wedding remains significant as:
Shinto Wedding is often held on a small scale involving the couple, immediate family members and close friends. So not only it is more convenient but more affordable to hold a reasonably extravagant traditional Japanese style wedding.

Come along with me to eat real nagashi somen for the first time! Nagashi somen are noodles that flow down bamboo shoots that you have to catch with your chopsticks. I also visit a peaceful river in Akiruno-shi for some relaxing nature.

As you step into the restaurant, you'll notice a vending machine to purchase your meal tickets. Don't worry if it's all in Japanese; I'll provide a description of the vending machine in the comments below to help you navigate through the ordering process.
Once you have your tickets, head to the kitchen area, present them, and choose a seat to relax. Like in most Japanese restaurants, you'll find free water available for guests.
Next, listen closely as your order is called, and then head to the counter to pick up your bowl of Udon. Customize your dish with toppings like tempura flakes or chili powder (7 spices) according to your taste.
I opted for the basic version, topped with a raw egg and green onions, which cost only around $2-3. The noodles are delightfully thick and mouthwateringly delicious, complemented by a flavorful broth that perfectly matches the Udon.
Udon has a rich history, dating back over 1000 years, and it's interesting to note that Udon is more popular in western Japan, while Soba takes the lead in eastern Japan. Surprisingly, Udon and Somen share the same noodles, with the primary difference being their thickness – Somen being very thin and Udon, as we know it, being thick and hearty.
Once you finish your delightful meal, remember to return your plate to the kitchen and dispose of the one-time-use items yourself.
It's important to mention that the exit is separate from the entrance in this restaurant, so make sure to head in the right direction when you leave.
