In Japanese culture, we have a tradition of providing traveling expenses
for the guests. When you invite a friend who is living far from the
wedding ceremony, you need to provide a lot.
The amount of the expenses should be odd number in my region such as
10000 yen, 3000 yen or 5000 yen.
And if you had been invited by the guest's wedding, the traveling expenses
would be provided almost the same amount.
I want to know if there is this kind of tradition in your culture.

When we are talking about personal guests (like at weddings, anniversaries and such) - no, we don't have such traditions - not in DK and not in BG.
In BG, we tend to (its not a rule, it depends on your situation) provide accomodation - usually, if you invite friends, they stay over at your house. I remember when my sister was getting married, we invited friends from across the country. They stayed at our house for about 10 days - it was fun :)
All this is in private life. Business is something else. If we are invited/hired to do consultation work somewhere, all expenses are paid by the client - even the parking expenses for our cars.

I think we would see this tradition
at many places in Japan.
We don't do like you said.
Maybe people don't let someone stay
at his or her house for a long time
if it's not the special event like
home stay.
