Hi I'm traveling to Japan in April 2018 with my family it's also my 10 year wedding anniversary. I want to have a traditional Japanese renew of vows ceremony. we are traveling to Tokyo and Osaka. I would like to have it in a shrine, I want the whole traditional outfit and all. Any suggestions will be appreciated. TA

A lot of the major shrine have websites and contact emails. Worth shooting them an email.
I'd like to note that early April is a busy tourist season, so don't expect to have the shrine or temple to yourself.

Wow, that indeed is innovative. Thanks, AK, and sorry to have barged in, but I just had to comment.

Uco-san, I was surprised to find that site too.
Baba Lee, In Japan the "renewing the vow" or ceremony many years after their marriage is somewhat of a private affair, like the husband buying the wife some gift on a special anniversary or something, OR a bride who missed wearing a wedding dress when they were younger wishing to do the ceremonial part or dress for a photo session, and usually does not involve any priest helping with a vow (as far as I know).
So I thought that going and asking directly at any shrine might confuse the shrine. If what you are looking for is a ceremony "in traditional Japanese style," I thought this might fit.
