A Venue Steeped in History
Meiji Kinenkan, located in Tokyo’s Minato Ward, has been a witness to over 230,000 unions since its opening in 1947. Its main building, originally constructed in 1881 as the State Banquet Hall for the Akasaka Temporary Imperial Palace, holds profound historical significance. It notably served as the venue for the Imperial Conferences where the draft of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan was deliberated, earning it the moniker “Kenpo Kinenkan” (Constitution Memorial Hall). In 2020, its historical and architectural value was formally recognized with its designation as a Tangible Cultural Property by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
This blend of historical grandeur and contemporary sensibility creates a uniquely “beautiful Japanese wedding” experience. The opportunity to celebrate in a place so deeply connected to Japan’s heritage offers an unparalleled sense of occasion.
