✿ What is the Kurima Island Eruption?

Kurima Island—where romances begin, love deepens, and vows remain.

"Kurima Island is a place that teaches us that hearts can connect even without words."

"The vows exchanged on this island aren't meant to be shown to anyone; they remain with the two of us for the rest of our lives."

That is the “Oath Ceremony (Eloement)” on Kurima Island.
On Kurima Island—a place known for its particularly serene atmosphere even within Okinawa—you can spend some quiet, intimate time together, just the two of you.

The flow of the swearing-in ceremony

  1. Interview by Okinawa Memorial Day Concierge:We’ll carefully discuss with you in advance “what kind of vow-exchange ceremony you’d like,” and confirm the date, location, and details of the vows.
  2. Oath-taking Ceremony at a Scenic Spot on Kurima Island:
    1. Submit an application to the concierge to reserve the venue for your vow ceremony. (If possible, 10 to 6 business days in advance.)
    2. A concierge and one coordinator will meet the guest on-site
    3. The oath-taking ceremony will begin on time, guided by the concierge.
    4. In the natural environment where the sea and sky stretch out, the two of them exchange their "words of love" in just 88 seconds.
    5. “You’ll take turns signing the commemorative ceremony certificate to preserve ”your vows” as a lasting memento.
  3. Presentation of a Certificate of Memories
