Thank you for your patience. Here is the response - “They would prefer men. They don’t care about the race that much. Japanese level should be enough to communicate with the church ppl.” If this interests anyone. Just pm me.

I’m writing to you today about a unique opportunity that may be of interest to some of you.
An acquaintance of mine is looking for someone to act as a 偽牧師 (nise bokushi), which translates to fake priest, for officiating weddings in Yatsushiro.
Why is this a thing?
It turns out that having a Westerner as the officiant is considered オシャレ (fancy/exotic) in Japan. Christian-style weddings are surprisingly popular, even though only a small percentage of the population is actually Christian. This means that you don’t need to be a real priest to perform weddings in Japan!
What qualifications are needed?
While some Japanese language skills would be helpful, fluency is not required. This is a particularly great opportunity for someone who enjoys acting. The majority of these weddings take place on weekends.
Interested?
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please send me a message and I’ll be happy to provide you with more details.
Thanks
