Overview

In this tour, I will capture the best moments of your trip in Kyoto. The tour route is Hanami-koji⇒Yasuikonpira Shrine⇒Ishibekoji⇒Maruyama park. The main reason why you should choose this tour is that I'm not only good at taking beautiful photos of you, but also I'm very familiar to these area so I will take you to the hidden and secret spots that are less crowd, and do photo session there. I'm very good at taking photos of solo-portrait, couple, honeymoon and family. I will take photos of you one by one, group by group. So I would like you to wait for minutes while I take photos for another group. I will suggest spots, poses, and angles. But you can also tell me your preference. After tour, I will send the photos by data via Email on the SAME DAY or NEXT DAY of the tour. In addition, I will also tell you about local culture, good spots for food and fun, and some tips that help you enjoy Japan more. I will really do my best to capture the beautiful moment of you into the photography.

Satoshi was very...

Published on Oct, 2024

Satoshi was very professional throughout our photography session. We got lucky that it was just my partner and I and our session was the earliest with not much crowd so it was a plus. He was very friendly and chatty. For someone who are not photogenic like us he made the experience very pleasant. He was also very attentive and constantly ask if you're fine after walking for some time. He also brought us to a few spots in Kyoto where we've never been to. You'll not regret for booking this photography tour as part of your Kyoto trip!

Incredible experience

Published on Sep, 2023

Great photo shoot, highly recommend, it was a very enjoyable experience with great photos! Satoshi is not only super professional, but he was so nice and he took amazing photos! Definitely would do it again, loved the experience!

Must do !

Published on Jul, 2023

Hi Satoshi sen, thank you so much for the wonderful photos! I very much wish we can have a photographer like you back home. I love that you were able to give me a mixture of candid pictures, “staged” , and also natural fun images. The turnaround time is great. All my photographers in the US want 2 weeks minimum which I never get that. Some photographers wouldn’t even show you any pre editing photos because they can look very disappointing and different. I like how confident you are during the whole shooting that you don’t mind showing off your real photography skills immediately after you hit the shutter! (Instead of rely heavily on post editing session) When I first opened the files, I was very impressed on the image quality! I thought about getting the raw files and edit them myself if I need to get large print, but nope, they are more than good enough for me! You are truly the highlight of my trip! Let me know when you come back to the US, we will show you Texas! I hope you realize how gifted you are in doing this type of photography.

Amazing tour and photo shoot!

Published on May, 2023

My fiancé and I had a wonderful time on this photography tour. The experience was amazing. Our tour guide and photographer Satoshi was really what made it so great. Easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and an excellent eye for photography. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get high quality pictures together while in Japan. A perfect score, 10/10 would highly recommend!

Unforgettable experience

Published on May, 2023

Shitoshi is very knowledgeable about the area, ask him about Osaka before you visit for local tips and sites! He led us around the local parks and Shrines for pictures and gave us insight on some of the traditions and customs the people who love here follow. Very kind and was good at leading the conversation. Only hiccup we had was finding the meeting point as the area was extremely crowded and we had not sufficiently accounted for that time, thankfully we were able to proceed with the shoot despite falling a few minutes behind. We will definitely book again when we visit in the future!
