Honeymoon

Japan

We’re so excited to celebrate our marriage with our first big international adventure together… a honeymoon in Japan! Shortly after the wedding, we’ll be heading to Japan and we’ll be splitting our time between Tokyo and Okinawa. We’ve already started our Duolingo lessons and have had so much fun planning the adventures ahead! Having lived together for the past year, we’re fortunate to already have everything we need for our home. Rather than a traditional registry, we’d love to put gifts toward experiences and memories we’ll cherish for years to come. If you’d like to contribute to our honeymoon, we would be so grateful. Most of all, we’re thankful to celebrate this special time with the people we love, and your presence and well-wishes mean the world to us!

  Our hotel has a rooftop bar called “Roof Dogs” that serves cocktails and hot dogs. So we want to see what that’s all about, naturally.

  We discovered this little island through a YouTube video and can't wait to try its famous tempura and visit a café with four resident cats. A little off the beaten path!
