This elopement location is and always will be be one of our very favorite locations to get married. As wedding planners in Japan, we’re always looking for new and unique places to get married. And last year, one of our wedding planning team introduced us to these spectacular tea fields. 37 Frames are currently the only wedding planning team planning weddings here in the tea fields of Japan. And we’ve worked very hard to make this area accessible our wedding and elopement couples. We love sharing and being able to provide beautiful locations before they’re popular. Always working with the local community and always creating unforgettable memories. Yours and yours alone. So let us the you a little about these unique elopement and micro-wedding locations in Japan. Here we go…
The Sky Tea Terrace Elopement Plan
Complete privacy will be yours in this simply remarkable elopement location. High in the tea fields of Shizuoka is your very own terrace to elope on. At an altitude of 350m above sea level exchange your vows with a breathtaking view among the Ryogouchi hills, and on a clear day you may be lucky enough to glimpse Mt Fuji. Breathtaking in every way. It is beyond epic and worth going way off the beaten track.
Our journey starts with a quick stop to meet the locals, then we wind our way up the tea slopes. The tea terraces are all on private land, but we recently did a sunrise elopement here in the tea fields and the tea owners were entirely accommodating of our incredibly early start. (Thank you thank you, thank you!) We glimpsed a Mt Fuji sunrise just before she clouded over at the conclusion of our couple’s vows. And it was honestly one of the most breathtaking ceremonies of our life. Elope in Japanese Tea Fields.
Being wedding planners in Japan can sometimes mean the same repetitive locations again and again. As permits and permissions are very hard to come by for most locations. But the tea fields are unique and amazing. And best of all, they are fully welcoming of all our destination wedding plans and all our elopement plans. And we will never get tired of this epic, incredible wedding and elopement location.
Eloping in the Tea Fields of Shizuoka is utterly divine
Arriving at the deck requires a short 5 minute steep hike, not too difficult. But a slightly difficult in wedding dress. Don’t worry, we’ll help every step of the way. Say I do on the deck with beautiful authentic words. Out in Nature and full of love. Completely private. And then share a green tea toast afterwards. Or we can arrange a green tea cocktail! Or champagne. Whatever’s you. We can even arrange an authentic Tea Ceremony with a Tea Master. An elopement experience of your dreams.
Imagine a first Dance at sunset and sweeping vistas as your memories. Or if you’re up for a very early start you may be rewarded with a magnificent sea of clouds view. As we mentioned above, a sunrise elopement here is pure perfection. Elope in Japanese Tea Fields.
For centuries tea has represented harmony, peace, enlightenment and connection. It is at the heart of Japan. It’s very core. And as such, it couldn’t be a more perfect place to exchange vows and commit to each other. There are actually several tea terraces dotted throughout Shizuoka, each with it’s own heart and perspective. This one is in the sky…
The Gold Leaf Tea Terrace Elopement Plan
This one’s mind-blowing. The only place of it’s kind in the world. For real.
This location is everything and more. It really exists and would be the perfect canvas for your elopement. Your own private terrace amid a sea of golden tea leaves. Yes, golden green tea. It is, remarkably, the only golden tea field in the world, located in the mountainous area of Shizuoka. Did we mention – the only place like it in the world?
When people ask us about eloping in Japan, this is always one of our first recommendations. If you’re looking for a unique destination wedding in Japan or to elope, just the two of you together, this would be perfect. A union of who you are and the country where you’ve chosen to marry. Getting married in Japan is everything and more. Elope in Japanese Tea Fields.
An Adventure Elopement Drenched in Gold
It does require somewhat of a journey. It’s definitely the road less travelled, we occasionally end up in the back of a farmers truck to get there. There are not too many places left like this in the world – still mostly undiscovered. As it is such a special location the venue/usage fee is a little more than the other terraces. But it’s just such an incredible adventure elopement in Japan. Unforgettable. Meaningful. Authentic. Once we arrive you exchange vows while enjoying the spectacular and unique views of golden tea fields. Just lost in each other and fields of gold.
Sample the local green tea after the ceremony and we can even arrange an authentic Tea Ceremony with a Tea Master to make it the ultimate in Japanese elopements.
As wedding planners in Japan, this one couldn’t be higher on our list of beautiful locals and epic vistas. And truly unique once in a lifetime experiences.
The Woodland Tea Terrace Elopement Plan
This one’s all about the woods and forest. Another beautiful, intimate & private terrace to elope on. This one in more romantic tea fields in Shizuoka. Here you’ll be drenched in nature and beautiful woodland scenery. The vibe is relaxed and inviting and just so very special.
Quiet & peaceful, a place to connect & fall in love a little more. The terrace is just waiting for your I do’s and again we are contributing to the local community by supporting the farmers who have kindly allowed us access to these unique locations. Enjoy a green tea toast or cocktail (or champagne). And again, we can even arrange an authentic Tea Ceremony with a Tea Master to make those tea fields even more of an iconic experience.
For centuries tea has represented harmony, peace, enlightenment and connection. It is at the heart of Japan. And as such, it couldn’t be a more perfect place to exchange vows and commit to each other. This one is forest inspired…
