So Fantastical! Have You Heard of the "Ice Church"? ♡

Have you ever seen this incredibly beautiful church? ♡ The dome-shaped exterior, the altar, the Virgin Road, and the cross are all made of snow and ice, creating a mysterious chapel.＊*

The Ice Church is Located at the Back of the "Ice Village" ♡

This ice church is found in the "Ice Village" at the ski resort "Hoshino Resort Tomamu" in Hokkaido, which opens seasonally every year. ♡ It's extremely popular with couples each year for its enchanting weddings that are unlike anything else. ♩

A Fleeting Church for Just One Month

This ice church only exists for a mere month in winter! The limited time frame guarantees that your wedding will be extra special. ♩

Feeling Like "Frozen" ♡

When you hold your ceremony at the ice church, you can wear exclusive bridal attire that can only be rented here. ＊ Alongside the "original coat," you can also rent a set of three accessories: "fur hat," "white arm muffs," and "white fur boots." ♩ Wearing fluffy items over your wedding dress, you'll feel completely like the Snow Queen!

The Climax is Fireworks Lighting Up the Sky ♡

The wedding plan at the ice church includes a candle relay connecting the couple with their families, celebratory drinks of hot wine and hot chocolate, and a moving bubble shower celebrated by villagers and travelers of the Ice Village. ♡

Enjoyable Even Without the Ice Church ♡

While having your wedding in the ice chapel is wonderful, the Ice Village itself is also enjoyable. ♩ A fantastical ice town takes advantage of the -20℃ environment of Tomamu. ♡

There are plenty of attractive activities like the "synchronized skating show" on the ice rink and "Ice School," which shares the mysteries of snow with sound and visuals, making it a great recommendation for couples traveling together. ♩ It's definitely a place to visit with your partner! ♩

The Ice Bar Serving Ice Cocktails is Also Alluring ♡

One of the most popular attractions is the "Ice Bar." ♡ You can drink cocktails from glasses carved out of solid ice rather than glass. ♩

Also Famous as the "Water Church" During the Summer ♡

By the way, the ice church operates as the "Water Church" from summer to autumn. ♩ The chapel created by the world-renowned architect Tadao Ando offers a different atmosphere compared to the winter ice church. ♡

Brides who are not fond of the cold might consider having their ceremony at the "Water Church" in the summer. ♩
