HOTEL RYUGU Tenshi no Hashigo -Extra Reports（1）-
| About 100 couples a year celebrate their weddings at the "Hotel Ryugu". A brick chapel, called "Sea Bride", is located on a site that juts out toward the sea, and has become a symbol of the inn. With a location overlooking the Amakusa Sea, it is popular for sunset weddings with the moment-by-moment changing sunset as a background. They also offer surprise performances, such as the groom's appearance on a cruiser. |

| Inside the chapel, with its pure white walls and high ceiling, everyone is captivated by the natural light pouring in and the ocean location spreading out before them. A couple who holds a ceremony in such an atmosphere and promises eternal love will surely become a couple for life. Couples who have their ceremony here may stay at the "Tenshi no Hashigo" that day. |
