Are there weddings at the Heian Shrine in Kyoto, on Sundays, as there are at Meiji Shrine in Tokyo? We were lucky enough to witness a number of weddings on a Sunday at Meiji Shrine, but visited Heian Shrine on a weekday.

The most popular days for weddings are obviously Saturdays and Sundays. Furthermore, most people want their weeding s to be held on taian, which is one of six "Buddhist weekdays", which are explained in a little bit more details here: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2272.htmlIn other words, there will be particularly many weddings when taian falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks, again, Uji: we will definitely try to be at Heian on the Sunday we have available: can't manage a Saturday: your advice, as always, is much appreciated

Thanks Uji: this is a great link; we may be in luck again in Tokyo (5th April) less so in Kyoto(12th April) but both shrines are well worth the revisit, weddings or not. Thanks again for your interest and assistance: your contributions to our planning are invaluable.
