Meiji Kinenkan, Historical wedding chapel and event venue in Minato district, Tokyo, Japan

Meiji Kinenkan is a wedding chapel and event venue in Tokyo's Minato district that combines traditional Japanese architecture with multiple banquet rooms and ceremony spaces. The facility serves as both a ceremonial location and reception area for formal gatherings.

The building was constructed in 1881 as a dining and reception hall for guests of the nearby Akasaka Temporary Palace. Following the palace's relocation in 1947, it was transformed into a wedding and events venue.

Shinto wedding ceremonies take place here where couples drink sake together and receive blessings from priests connected to the nearby Meiji Shrine. These rituals draw meaning from their location within sacred grounds dedicated to traditional Japanese marriage customs.

The Gishikiden ceremony hall was renovated in 2021 with modern amenities integrated into its traditional Japanese design. The venue is primarily available for events rather than casual visits.

The Forest Terrace Meiji Jingu is a dining area connected to the main building surrounded by forest grounds planted with tree species collected from across Japan. This integration of nature and hospitality offers visitors an outdoor dining experience within the facility.
