[Implementation Report] Okinawa Resort Wedding Week 2026 Opens — Welcoming Overseas Recruiters at Naha Airport (9/7)
Report on the implementation of the 2026 Okinawa Resort Wedding Week Couple Anniversary Tourism Business in Naha Prefecture for the fiscal year 2020
The Okinawa Resort Wedding Week 2026 (from September 7 to 11) has opened on Monday, September 7.
On the first day, we displayed the "OKINAWA Resort Wedding" welcome banner at the arrival lobby of Naha Airport to welcome all the invited guests from overseas and domestically. This time, we welcomed business operators involved in weddings and travel from China (Sanya, Beijing, Shanghai), Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea.

01 Welcoming you with Ray and Ouchiwara
Upon arrival, the association staff greeted each of the invited guests by waving a flag. Dressed in Kariyushi shirt, the staff held hand-printed signs reading “Heat,” “Intensity,” “Enthusiasm,” and “Welcome,” and each time they arrived, applause and cheers erupted.

The guests who had just finished their long journey also greeted each other with smiles, and the arrival lobby was filled with a pleasant atmosphere from the first day.
02 "The Okinawa hospitality begins from the moment you step off the plane"
For those choosing Okinawa for their resort weddings or anniversary trips, Naha Airport is the first place they encounter Okinawa. This welcome ceremony provided an opportunity for the invited guests to experience the hospitality of Okinawa from the very beginning, as well as to explore the way in which “welcome ceremonies at the airport” should be conducted in the future for inbound travelers.
