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" (located in Isobe-cho, Shima City, Mie Prefecture / General Manager: Tatsuya Sakano) will launch a new garden wedding plan on the poolside of the hotel premises surrounded by the rich nature of Ise-Shima. This plan was born in collaboration with wedding production company FOLK FOLK, and will start accepting applications for weddings in the fall of 2026 from January 22, 2026 (Thursday).

At Grand Mercure Ise-shima Resort & Spa, FOLK FOLK, who specializes in creating free weddings that emphasize the uniqueness of the bride and groom, combines the open outdoor space unique to a resort hotel and the value of staying, including accommodation and hot springs. We provide a special experience that will make a day spent with the superb view of Ise-Shima as an important memory of life.

Background of all-inclusive garden wedding plan/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, it is easy to spend as an initiative to connect the form of a new wedding ceremony in Ise-Shima and the local wedding culture to the future. It will be developed only in autumn (September to November).

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

Grand Mercure Ise-shima Resort & Spa is a resort hotel with spectacular views 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 accommodation in the super twin room of the bride and groom on the day before the wedding ceremony, so you can prepare your mind 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 enjoy the hot spring slowly or enjoy the hotel's proud buffet with Chisan ingredients.

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

Garden party offers 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 area through cooking.

In addition, we carefully selected items unique to Ise-Shima for drawers, and thought that the "Wedding ceremony at 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, we have selected items that bring back memories of the wedding every time we use it in our daily lives, such as bonito flakes that have been popular as lucky charms, fragrant blues products grown by the sea, and NARUMI porcelain made at the Shima Plant. While staying close to the guest's life, we have drawers that hope that the "weddings raised in Ise-Shima" will be quietly handed down.

[Comments from Mr. Michiya Higashiyama, President of FOLK]

Weddings are special moments, but I don’t think they have to be strict.
However, "Where, with whom, and how to swear" remains deeply in 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. For that reason, we have created a new collaboration plan like this one.
Swear by being surrounded by important people in the area where you were born and raised.
Traveling and swearing with important people in the area you love as a sightseeing spot.
I feel that it is a blessing to this region and an act of creating the next culture.
