01 Why offer this service?
As a tour operator and events company, Japan Awaits has received many requests from visitors and guests to plan custom events such as engagement parties, surprise marriage proposals, and destination weddings.
We offer this service to help guests traveling from overseas create special and unforgettable moments during their time in Japan.
02 How much planning will I need to do?
We will plan the proposal based on your needs and preferences. We will send you a list of questions and work with you to narrow down the available options.
Once your itinerary is set, we will make the agreed arrangements and reservations on your behalf. All you need to do is arrive with your partner at the designated location on the date and time of the proposal.
03 What is included in the proposal planning service?
The service includes a personalized proposal itinerary and plan, location and arrangement coordination, an on-site events coordinator, a photographer for a 45-minute photography opportunity, and a bouquet of flowers with color options. Optional extras are priced separately.
04 Can we choose the location and style of the proposal?
Yes. Share your ideas, preferred atmosphere, and anything meaningful to you and your partner. Our proposal team will help develop a personalized plan and scout suitable locations. Specific venues and arrangements depend on availability and any applicable permissions.
05 Can you help keep the proposal a surprise?
Please let us know from the beginning if you want the proposal to be a surprise. We can take your preferred timing and other details into account while planning the agreed arrangements.
06 Is a photographer included, and how long is the photo session?
Yes. A photographer is included to capture the proposal, with a 45-minute photography opportunity. A bouquet of flowers is also included, with color options available.
07 Can we add a private tour, special dinner, or another experience?
Optional experiences can be discussed during the planning process. Examples currently shown on this page include a private Tokyo tour, geisha dinner, helicopter experience, and lab-grown diamond ring-making. These are additional-cost arrangements and are subject to availability and confirmation.
08 Are admission tickets, meals, and restaurant reservations included?
These costs are not part of the standard proposal package. If you would like admission tickets, dining arrangements, or other services, let our team know during planning so they can be reviewed and quoted separately.
09 How far in advance should I book?
Please book at least two months before your preferred proposal date. Planning a personalized event takes time, particularly when venues, vendors, and other arrangements need to be coordinated.
10 Will someone be there on the day of the proposal?
Yes. The service includes an on-site events coordinator who will be present during the proposal to support the arrangements agreed in advance.
