Your presence is the present.
ご祝儀について
Honestly — crossing the world to be with us is the most generous gift we could ask for.
We know that flying from the US to northern Japan is no small thing — the flights, the time, the effort. Please don't feel any obligation to give beyond simply being there.
That said, a few of you have kindly asked how you might contribute. If — and only if — you'd like to, here are a handful of completely optional ways to celebrate with us. No gift is expected, and none will ever be counted.
Honeymoon adventures
We're dreaming of a slow trip through southern Japan after the wedding. A contribution toward a night in a ryokan or a memorable meal would be treasured.
A first home table
We love gathering people around food. Help us build the long dinner table — and the feasts — that will fill our home for years to come.
Give back together
In lieu of a gift, we'd be moved if you donated to a cause close to our hearts — supporting ocean conservation and rural communities in Tōhoku.
(Contribution links are placeholders for now — we'll connect them to a real registry service before invitations go out.)
Prefer a traditional gift?
If you'd rather give something we can unwrap, we've started a small registry of things for our home. We'll link it here soon.
