The best and most romantic churches in Okinawa must-visit

Okinawa is a picturesque island with beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, comfortable resorts, and breathtaking seaside wedding chapels. It has become an increasingly popular destination for overseas couples to get married. Imagine exchanging vows with your loved one, wearing a pure white wedding dress against the backdrop of the azure sea and clear sky - it's even more romantic than a drama!

Aqua Luce Chapel (within Manza Beach Hotel)

Aqua Luce Chapel is located within the ANA InterContinental Manza Beach Resort. The chapel is named after its theme of 'water' and 'light,' and its exterior resembles a pristine white shell. The front of the altar features a 10-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window, allowing those inside the chapel to take in the flowing sunlight, clear blue sky, and azure sea all at once, creating a harmonious blend. Many couples choose to hold their weddings here, walking down the aisle to the solemn sound of the pipe organ, with a breathtaking sea view before them, making it an incredibly moving experience!

Christia Chapel

This glass chapel, which seems to float on the sea, belongs to the Nikko Alivila Hotel. Its exterior is distinctly Gothic in style, entirely white, and exudes a sacred church atmosphere. The chapel is themed around clear water, with a design that emphasizes transparency. You can hold a romantic wedding banquet here, which will be unforgettable for a lifetime!

Clavita Chapel

Clavita Chapel is located within the ANA InterContinental Manza Beach Resort. The name 'Coral' symbolizes 'happiness,' while 'Vita' symbolizes 'endless wealth.' The chapel faces the Coral Sea, which is said to bring eternal happiness. The open space with three floor-to-ceiling windows is filled with dazzling sunlight, and beyond the altar, you can enjoy a panoramic view of one of Okinawa's top attractions—Cape Manzamo. After the wedding, you can head directly to the scenic Manza Beach for a beach party, full of tropical charm.

Diamond Ocean Chapel

Diamond Ocean Chapel is located within the Kirishima Resort, built on a high ground by the coast. With imported floor-to-ceiling glass walls, you can enjoy a 360-degree unobstructed view of the beautiful emerald sea in front of you, regardless of the tide. What is particularly exciting is the unique 'Water Unity Ceremony' of the wedding, where Okinawa sea water and spring water flowing through Kirishima are poured together, symbolizing the union of both families and the marriage. Isn't it very romantic!
