Hotel Nikko Alivila
Alivila is the Spanish colonial resort on the Yomitan coast, low and ochre with arcaded courtyards, and it has been the standard Okinawa wedding address for long enough that the local industry is built around it.

The ceremony does not happen in the hotel.
It happens next door at Lazor Garden Alivila, where the Cristea Chapel is a white glass-walled room on the shore with a 12-metre aisle set with Swarovski crystal and ocean on all four sides, seating up to 60.
Four banquet rooms sit beside the chapel, each with a private terrace, and the ground-floor hall takes 31 to 150.

Beautiful location, a long way from the airport, but had an airport bus. Lovely spacious room with a balcony. Beautiful pool and beach. The only downer was having typhoon Jangmi hit on our third day.

Questions about the venue
Where does the ceremony take place?+
At Lazor Garden Alivila, the wedding facility on the hotel’s grounds, whose Cristea Chapel is a glass room on the shore seating up to 60. It is a separate business from the hotel, so you contract the chapel and the rooms separately.
How many guests can the reception take?+
The ground-floor banquet hall beside the chapel handles 31 to 150 guests, and three smaller rooms upstairs take 6 to 30 each, so most guest lists fit somewhere between the two floors.
What does a wedding here cost?+
Ceremony packages have been reported from 253,000 yen, roughly $1,600, which is low by the standards of this list. Food, drink, attire and photography sit on top, and the hotel quotes room blocks separately from the chapel.
How far is it from Naha airport?+
Around 45 to 60 minutes by car up the west coast, by taxi, hotel transfer or rental car. Yomitan is quieter than the Onna resort strip further north, and there are pottery workshops and Zakimi Castle nearby for guests with a free afternoon.
Is there English-language support?+
The chapel handles overseas couples through wedding agencies rather than directly, and the hotel’s own bilingual coverage varies, so confirm in writing who will run your planning in English before you commit to a date.
Could this be your venue?
Ask about pricing and availability for the month you have in mind. You do not need a fixed date.
