Based on the concept of "terroir", which means the natural environment such as the terrain, climate, and soil unique to the area, the seasonal ingredients and the taste of the local area, and the culture that nurtures them, the all-inclusive resort hotel "Grand Mercure Ise-shima Resort & Spa" (Location: Yaji Kasatori, Isobe-cho, Shima City, Mie Prefecture / General Manager: Tatsuya Sakano) will launch a new garden wedding plan on the poolside of the hotel surrounded by the rich nature of Ise-Shima. This plan was born in collaboration with wedding production company FOLK FOLK, and will start accepting weddings in the fall of 2026 from January 22, 2026 (Thursday).

By combining the open outdoor space unique to a resort hotel and the value of staying, including accommodation and hot springs, FOLK FOLK, who specializes in creating free weddings that value "women of brides and grooms", Grand Mercure Ise-shima Resort & Spa has realized a new natural wedding that is not bound by format and customs. We provide a special experience that will leave a day with the superb view of Ise-Shima as an important memory of life.

Background of all-inclusive garden wedding plan/plan planning

In recent years, the number of wedding venues has been decreasing in local cities, including Shima City.

In this plan, for those who were born and raised in Ise-Shima and who feel sympathy with this area, we will spend a comfortable season as a new form of wedding ceremony in Ise-Shima and an initiative to connect the local wedding culture to the future. It will be developed only in autumn (September to November).

In addition, with the concept of FOLK FOLK, we propose a wedding plan that can flexibly respond to budgets and forms under the concept of "Zero couples who give up on weddings."

All-inclusive Garden Wedding Plans/Points

1.　On the hotel premises <The Matoya Village> Wedding with an open atmosphere at the poolside and enjoy hot springs and buffets at all-inclusive resort hotels

Example of a dinner buffet you can enjoy at the hotel

Grand Mercure Ise-shima Resort & Spa is a resort hotel with a spectacular view of the Rias coast, and the wedding ceremony of this plan will be held in a relaxed atmosphere on the poolside of The Matoya Village.

This plan includes the accommodation of the bride and groom's Superior Twin Room on the day before the wedding ceremony, so you can relax while being wrapped in the magnificent nature of Ise-Shima, and have an important day.

In addition, if you wish, you can extend the stay after the wedding or arrange accommodation for your family and friends as an option. After the wedding, you can use the hot spring slowly or enjoy the hotel's specialty buffet made with Chisan ingredients.

In addition, the lounge offers an all-inclusive stay where you can spend a relaxing time, such as soaking in the aftermath of the ceremony with unconscious people while enjoying free flow drinks.

Wedding in a relaxed atmosphere at The Matoya Village

FOLK FOLK, a wedding production company, responds to the wishes of couples who want to have a wedding surrounded by important people in the area where they were born and raised, and at the same time, is also responsible for connecting the local wedding culture to the future. In addition, it is expected to be a catalyst for the new category of "Wedding x Tourism" for tourists who are inspired by the Ise-Shima area.

At FOLK FOLK, we will develop it in a style that allows you to shape the feelings of each couple and plan freely.

3.　Proposal of dishes and drawers utilizing Ise-Shima ingredients and resources

At the garden party, we offer dishes using Chisan ingredients

At the garden party of this plan, we will provide dishes that make use of ingredients and local resources unique to Ise-Shima. We express the blessings of the sea and mountains unique to this region through cooking.

In addition, for withdrawal items, we carefully selected items unique to Ise-Shima, and thought that the "Wedding Ceremony in Ise-Shima" would be memorable and memorable for guests. As a specialty product that allows you to feel the climate and culture of Se Shima, Italy, you can use it in everyday life, such as bonito, which has been popular as a lucky charm, fragrant Aosa products grown by the sea, and NARUMI porcelain made at the Shima factory. We selected items that will bring back memories of the wedding every time you use it. While staying close to the lives of the guests, we have drawers that hope that the "weddings given in Ise-Shima" will be quietly handed down.

[Comments from Mr. Michiya Higashiyama, Representative Director of FOLK]

Wedding is a special moment, but I don’t think it necessarily has to be strict.
However, "Where, whom, and how do you swear?" is something that remains deeply in your life.
With many couples giving up weddings just because of differences in budget and values, we have zeroed out that number.
I'd like to do it. To that end, we have created a new collaboration plan like this one.
Swear by surrounded by important people in the area where you were born and raised.
Traveling and swearing with loved ones in an area that you love as a tourist.
I feel that in itself is a blessing to this region and an act of creating the next culture.
