LONDON — A pretty, thatched church has been re-created in an Osaka hotel to give Japanese couples a sense of English tradition for their wedding ceremonies.
Work has just been completed on the replica in Osaka's Monterey Grasmere Hotel modeled on All Saints Church in Brockhampton, Herefordshire.
Some Christians are opposed to the practice of Japanese hotels replicating churches to hold weddings, arguing it devalues what should be a solemn occasion.
