A yuino is an official engagement ceremony, in
which both families gather and exchange betrothal money and gifts etc. , and
it is usually held at the bride’s home.
In general, this ceremony is held three to six
months prior to a wedding.
The groom’s family prepares betrothal items and
gives betrothal money and an engagement ring to the bride’s family.
Then, the bride’s family gives commemorative
presents in return to the groom’s family.
The amount of the betrothal money and items
differ according to area and family.
In recent year, a number of restaurants and
hotels arrange “yuino package” and it is popular to use this package among
couples.
Also, a yuino is more simplified as both
families just meet at a restaurant or hotel and have lunch or dinner to get to
know each other better.
