An overnight wedding story in Ikaho Onsen
Here is one way to spend an overnight wedding at Nagomigokoro no Yado Omori: shiromuku (a traditional white bridal kimono) in a tatami room, a vibrant iro-uchikake (a richly embroidered bridal over-robe), a change into a wedding dress, photos in the hot spring town, a kaiseki dinner, then the hot springs and breakfast the next morning. Picture an unhurried celebration with your family and closest friends.
*This is a sample itinerary. Photos are for illustrative purposes; the actual ceremony, photography and locations are arranged with you to suit your wishes and conditions on the day.
Your day begins at an inn on the hill above Ikaho's stone steps. The moment you step through the noren curtain, your celebration begins, welcomed by a ryokan with a century of history.
LocationInn front desk
Dress in shiromuku in the soft light filtering through the shoji screens. Getting ready in your own room means time to relax, and to share quiet moments with family.
LocationTatami room
Exchange your vows, the bride in shiromuku and the groom in montsuki haori and hakama, traditional formal attire for the groom. We will suggest a ceremony style that suits you, such as a non-religious ceremony. Sharing sake from lacquered cups is a moment worth keeping in photos.
LocationTatami room
From shiromuku to a vibrant iro-uchikake. The inn's Japanese-modern spaces of wood and stone make the colors of kimono stand out. Take your time with photos of the two of you, and of the bride alone.
LocationLobby
After kimono, change into a wedding dress for photos with a completely different mood. Enjoying both Japanese and Western attire is one of the pleasures of a wedding with time to spare.
LocationInside the inn
Take photos in Ikaho's most iconic scenery, such as the stone steps and Kajika Bridge. Cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, autumn leaves or snow: each season gives you a completely different picture.

In the evening, celebrate with the people closest to you over kaiseki cuisine prepared by our head chef with seasonal ingredients. It can be a reception or a dinner just for family.
LocationBanquet room
After the celebration, everyone stays on at the same inn. Soak in the renowned hot springs and look back on the day. Guest rooms with private hot spring baths are also available.
LocationBaths and guest rooms
Enjoy breakfast with views of the mountains of Gunma, looking back at yesterday's photos with your family until check-out. Your wedding stays with you as a memory of a journey, too.
LocationInside the inn
Weekday stay with dinner & breakfast for two from ¥110,000 (accommodation only).
