Kyoto Private Photoshoot by Local Photographer
I am a photographer who has lived in Kyoto for a long time, and I am very familiar with Kyoto’s traditional streets, shrines and seasonal scenery. During this experience, I will take you on a journey through Kyoto’s iconic neighbourhoods and to some photography spots that are not easily discovered by tourists, capturing the moments of your trip in a relaxed and natural setting. My photography style focuses on natural, authentic Japanese images, and I hope to help you capture your own unique memories of your trip to Kyoto through my lens.
