Shopping spots and sightseeing areas.
Tokyo has many spots that you want to visit during your wedding preparations ♡
It’s certainly good to visit them multiple times, but if you become a pre-bride, it might be efficient to visit all the well-known places in one day.
You will probably feel the essence of being a pre-bride, thinking, “So this is what wedding preparations feel like~~♡”
