- Fancy dress mean wedding dress and a suit/tuxedo. Because we are using public place in Japan we wanted less attention especially places like temple or shrine, some of them banned costume. We want just avoid problem, so it is better to blend with others.
- Best time 6-9 am is to avoid the crowd mostly but for secluded places we can do anytime.
- Ticket price paid seperately, you can pay my ticket later at the end together with remaining payment.
