Kiyomi and John’s Wedding at the Stone Church in Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan

One of my friends in NYC, Kiyomi, and her husband, John, had a wedding ceremony at the Stone Church in Karuizawa, Nagano Pref, Japan. It was held on July 10th 2023, the morning after TJM’s event, I rushed into Hokuriku Shinkansen with my JR Pass and attended their wedding ceremony at the Stone Church.

 

“I am happy for Kiyomi san and John san!”

 

It was an incredible and unforgettable wedding ceremony, and I would like to share their happiness to our members who want to find a Japanese woman as a lifelong partner.

Here is the information about the Stone Church in Wikipedia. This is a translation from Japanese Wikipedia into English as there is no English description at Wikipedia yet as of Aug. 14, 2023.

 

The Stone Church – Uchimura Kanzō Memorial Hall (Ishi no Kyokai – Uchimura Kanzo Kinen-dou) is located in Karuizawa, North Saku District, Nagano Prefecture. It is adjacent to Hotel Bleston Court.

Constructed to honor Uchimura Kanzō, a prominent Christian leader during the Meiji and Taisho eras, the above-ground part serves as a chapel, while the underground portion is dedicated as the Uchimura Kanzō Memorial Hall. Its unique design, featuring overlapping arches of stone and glass, is the work of American architect Kendrick Kellogg. The stone is said to symbolize the male, and the glass represents the female.

Overview: Stone Church – Uchimura Kanzō Memorial Hall
Designer: Kendrick Kellogg
Address: 〒389-0100 Hoshino, Karuizawa, North Saku District, Nagano Prefecture
Structure: Reinforced concrete
Completion: 1988

Floor area: 2 floors above ground, 1 floor below ground: 482㎡
Transportation Access: 20-minute walk from the Shinano Railway’s Nakakaruizawa Station.

When you see the photos, you will understand its beauty.
When you have a chance to travel to Japan to see your date, it would be great to take her to the Stone Church for a date, she will be moved and probably fall even more in love with you.

 

2. Kiyomi the Bride is 49 y.o. and She is Pregnant Now

You may not believe that she is 49 y.o. and she is pregnant now. She has been trying to conceive at an advanced age, and finally, she got pregnant. Their baby is expected in a few weeks. Additionally, she is a renowned YouTuber among women trying to conceive (TTC) in Japan. While broadcasting videos as a YouTuber, she encourages and empowers women in similar situations.

 

She started TTC when she was 45 y.o., and many people think that it is impossible, but she and her husband have been making an effort to make their dreams come true. And they made it!

 

Many male members who are over 50 would like to meet women who are under 34 years old, but younger Japanese women who are in their early 30’s also want to meet gentlemen who are also young. If they open up to meet women with a wider age range (for example, meet women who are around 40’s), the chance to find a nice Japanese woman and have children is increasing.

 

If you want to talk to Kiyomi, I am going to host “”Q&A session about TTC for gentlemen”, and she will answer your questions. Please reach out to us if you are interested.

 

3. Visualizing Your Dream Wedding Can Make It Happen

I am going to share some more photos of their wedding so as to make it easier for you to visualize your dream.
