The Pierre Matiada Chapel, or "Chapel of Light", unites stone and wood in a solemn design harmonizing with Karuizawa's forest. Its name, "Pierre Matiada", means "morning dew upon stone", evoking invisible blessings of kindness and happiness shared between hearts. Within its walls, couples are invited to cherish not only what is seen, but also the unseen bonds of love that sustain a lifetime together.
