Japanese Couple’s Betawi Wedding in Kampung

KOMPAS/TOTOK WIJAYANTO

A Japanese couple, Genta and Yuri, are married in a traditional Betawi wedding in Cikini, Central Jakarta, on Sunday (16/9/2018). Genta previously lived in Kampung Cikini for three years and was very impressed with the culture and friendliness of the local people.

In densely populated Jakarta, joy and happiness always find a way. Just look at Japanese couple Yuri Onuki, 28, and Genta Sawai, 29, who were married in an urban kampung in Central Jakarta.

The couple never imagined they would mark an important moment in their lives in Cikini Kramat, Pegangsaan subdistrict, Menteng district, Jakarta, on Sunday (16/9/2018) morning.
