In early November, I had the chance to photograph a wonderful couple during their surprise proposal in Kyoto. To avoid the crowds, we planned a morning photoshoot around 9am. It worked perfectly because the area was still quiet, allowing the entire proposal to unfold smoothly and without any distractions.
She had no idea what was about to happen, and the look of surprise on her face was unforgettable. Her expression was full of happiness, and capturing that genuine joy through my camera made me feel happy too. They loved the photos from the proposal, and afterwards we continued taking pictures in several spots where the autumn colors had just begun to appear. They enjoyed every location and told me how much they loved each photo.
They were such a cheerful and warm couple, and we spent the whole session talking and laughing together. It was truly a fun and memorable hour, and I am grateful they chose me to photograph such an important moment in their lives. Congratulations again to both of you. I hope you visit Japan again someday!!

I had the pleasure of doing a wonderful family photoshoot in Kyoto’s Gion area. To avoid the crowds, we met early in the morning and started the session right away. The family was traveling in Japan with a very small baby, and the moment I met her, I was completely captivated—she was such an adorable little one.
Both parents were calm, cheerful, and had beautiful smiles. They wanted photos with traditional Japanese buildings and scenery, so we began the shoot in a part of Gion that requires a photography permit. They loved the location, and we captured many different angles and styles there. I photographed the parents lifting the baby high to make her smile, and natural moments of them walking together with joy.
Afterwards, we walked to areas with historic buildings and also a large park for more shots. The one-hour session was full and productive, and the baby was in a great mood, cooperating perfectly. As a result, we captured many beautiful photos. The family loved the pictures and said they were exactly what they had hoped for, which made me feel so happy and grateful to be chosen as their photographer.
I hope they come back to Japan again—I would love to photograph them again!

I had an amazing night photoshoot with a wonderful couple in Osaka. From our initial messages, I could tell they were very friendly and enthusiastic about Japanese culture. They even shared detailed ideas of the types of photos they wanted beforehand, which helped me plan the perfect shooting route for them.
The couple was exactly as I imagined—bright, cheerful, and fun to work with. We started our session at a capsule toy shop, one of their requests. I captured them choosing toys and walking around the shop, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. I also found a Dragon Ball capsule toy I had been wanting, and they were genuinely excited with me, treating me like a friend.
After that, we explored many locations filled with neon lights and hidden streets that only locals know. Thanks to their willingness to walk around for a long time, we were able to capture so many great shots. I truly enjoyed photographing this couple, and I absolutely love their smiles.
I hope they visit Japan again soon—I would love to shoot with them again!

I recently had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful couple’s proposal at Osaka Castle Park. The timing was perfect, just before sunset, when the golden light made the park look magical. I arrived a little early to prepare, and thanks to the couple arriving on time, we were able to use the full hour for the photoshoot.
The proposal was a complete success, and seeing her joyful reaction while capturing it on camera made me incredibly happy. Proposal photography is one of my favorite types of shoots, and moments like this are exactly why.
After the proposal, we continued taking photos with the stunning sunset light and with Osaka Castle as a beautiful backdrop. The couple loved every single shot, and I was thrilled to capture so many wonderful memories.
Thank you for choosing me as your photographer for such a special moment. I hope to see you again in Japan for more unforgettable memories!

I recently had the pleasure of capturing a surprise proposal in a quiet area just outside central Kyoto. Since it was my first time shooting at this location, I scouted the area beforehand and selected a few of the best spots for photos. The site, by a beautiful river, was perfect for the proposal, and the couple planned with me to have the special moment there.
Even during the daytime, the area was surprisingly uncrowded, creating a relaxed and private atmosphere, which made the shoot run smoothly. The girlfriend had no idea about the proposal and was genuinely surprised, but her joy was truly heartwarming.
After the proposal, I guided them through various photo spots for a one-hour session. Every location produced beautiful photos, thanks to the couple’s natural expressions and genuine smiles in front of the camera. We captured many great shots at locations he had requested in advance, and they were thrilled with the results.
We spent the session walking around and chatting about anime, which made the hour fly by. Meeting them and connecting like friends was a truly wonderful experience. I hope they visit Japan again soon. Congratulations again on their engagement!

At the end of September, I had the honor of photographing a surprise proposal in Kyoto. The couple planned to propose in the evening at a beautiful Japanese garden, so I arrived early to prepare and wait for them. Since it was a bit later in the day, the garden was less crowded, which made the photo shoot go smoothly.
As always, I approached them pretending to be a tourist and guided them to the perfect spot for the proposal. The moment he got down on one knee, she was completely surprised—her expression was filled with shock and joy. Moments later, tears of happiness streamed down her face as she embraced him tightly.
Even though it was our first time meeting, I felt truly moved while capturing that beautiful moment. They were such a lovely couple, and after the proposal, we continued taking photos around the garden. They enjoyed every moment of the shoot and showed me the most natural, happy smiles, which made it possible to capture many beautiful pictures.
Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer for such a special moment. Congratulations once again—and I hope to see you both again in Japan someday!

I recently photographed a beautiful surprise proposal at Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. As many of you may know, Fushimi Inari is one of the most popular and crowded tourist destinations in Japan. To avoid the crowds as much as possible, we planned the proposal early in the morning. Even so, the shrine was already quite busy with visitors, and I was honestly worried about finding the right spot for the moment.
Fortunately, since this proposal was planned during the end of the year, there were a few quiet moments when the path of torii gates wasn’t too crowded. During one of those moments, he got down on one knee and proposed. His girlfriend was completely surprised and burst into tears of happiness—it was such a heartfelt moment.
They were traveling in Japan with their friends, and their friends were also overjoyed, celebrating their engagement with big smiles and laughter. After capturing the proposal, we moved to some quieter areas nearby to take more photos together. They told me how much they loved the photos and the locations I suggested, which made me really happy.
Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer to capture such an important and emotional moment in your lives. Congratulations again, and I hope to see you in Japan someday soon!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple’s surprise proposal at Osaka Castle Park. They were traveling through Japan with their friends, and everyone—except the girlfriend, of course—already knew about the proposal plan. Because of that, the friends were incredibly supportive and helped make the surprise go perfectly smoothly.
She had absolutely no idea what was coming, so her reaction was full of joy and surprise. It was such a heartwarming moment to capture. Their friends were cheering and celebrating together, making it one of the happiest and most emotional proposals I’ve photographed in Osaka.
After the proposal, we took many fun and natural photos—walking, jumping, and laughing together in the park. It was a hot day, so we grabbed some drinks from a vending machine, and they loved the Japan-only Pepsi flavor! Even that simple moment turned into a joyful and genuine memory on camera.
They were such a lovely and friendly couple, and I felt so happy to photograph their special moment. Thank you so much for choosing me as your proposal photographer in Japan—I hope you visit Japan again someday!

I recently photographed a truly beautiful surprise proposal in Osaka. The groom-to-be and I spent a lot of time planning every detail together to make sure everything went perfectly. At first, we considered doing the shoot at night in Nara, but after adjusting everyone’s schedules, we decided that Osaka would be the best location.
Her close friends were also involved in the plan and arrived ahead of time to help us prepare. Thanks to their support, the surprise was a huge success — the moment he proposed, she was completely shocked and immediately burst into happy tears. Seeing their friends celebrate so joyfully behind them made the moment even more special.
It was an unforgettable experience, and I feel truly grateful that I was able to capture such an emotional and meaningful moment through my camera. Even after the proposal, we had so much fun exploring different photo ideas together and were able to create many beautiful images. Thank you so much for choosing me to document one of the most important moments of your life. You two are an amazing couple — congratulations again.

I recently had the joy of photographing a beautiful surprise proposal at Osaka Castle Park. From the moment I saw this couple, their warm smiles and genuine love for each other filled the atmosphere with happiness. Everything went perfectly according to plan — the moment she turned around and saw him down on one knee, her expression was pure joy, and he looked truly over the moon watching her reaction.
What made this session so special was how naturally they enjoyed the moment together. They followed every pose with ease, allowing us to create a mix of fun, romantic, and cinematic shots that captured their personalities perfectly. As a surprise proposal photographer in Osaka, moments like this remind me why I love what I do.
I am truly grateful that he chose me to document such an important chapter of their love story. I absolutely adored their smiles, and I sincerely hope to see them again in Japan one day.

I had the joy of meeting an amazing family with two incredibly kind parents and three adorable children. They booked two sessions with me: a morning shoot at Osaka Castle Park and an evening session in the Namba area. From the first moment, the children were so friendly and immediately treated me like a friend, holding my hand as we walked—it was absolutely heartwarming.
During both sessions, the kids were full of energy and posed happily in front of the camera, thanks to their parents encouraging them to enjoy the shoot. The parents themselves were gentle, kind, and supportive, making the entire experience smooth and fun.
For the evening session, I brought gummy candies for the kids, which they love. Even though the area was a bit crowded, the children cooperated wonderfully, and the shoot went smoothly. At the end, the oldest daughter gave me a drawing of me as a gift, which touched me deeply.
I am truly grateful to have spent such fun and memorable moments with this family. I can’t wait to see them again, and I hope they return to Japan soon so we can meet once more.

I had the honor of photographing an incredibly sweet couple’s proposal at Osaka Castle Park. They were not only kind and bright but also had such a warm energy that it felt like I had known them for years. The proposal we carefully planned together went smoothly, and she was genuinely surprised.
To make the moment even more special, their family secretly joined to celebrate. The bride-to-be was moved to tears when she saw her mother, and everyone surrounded the couple with love and congratulations. Capturing these heartfelt family moments was truly wonderful, and I’m so glad I could photograph them.
After the family shots, we continued taking photos of the couple alone. Their positive energy and fun personalities made the session incredibly enjoyable. I am truly grateful to have been chosen as their photographer to capture such a precious moment. I hope to meet them again in Japan for a meal when they return!

This summer, I had the pleasure of doing a couple photoshoot in beautiful Sapporo, Hokkaido. During my trip, I had several sessions in Hokkaido, and this one was truly special. Sapporo is one of Japan’s most famous travel destinations and also one of my favorite cities.
For this photoshoot, we visited one of the filming locations from Netflix’s First Love. We met at Nakajima Park in the city center and started shooting near a large bridge close by — the same bridge featured in First Love. The scenery there was breathtaking, with wide-open Hokkaido landscapes and the elegant bridge creating the perfect backdrop. We shared ideas and had such a fun, relaxed session. The couple enjoyed it so much, and it became one of my favorite memories from the trip.
Afterward, we moved to Nakajima Park itself, a beautiful place with a small stream and the Sapporo City Astronomical Observatory. It’s also one of the spots that appears in First Love. Shooting in these meaningful locations made the session extra special. If you’re a fan of the series, I highly recommend a First Love–themed photoshoot in Sapporo!
I’m now accepting bookings for photoshoots during the Sapporo Snow Festival in early February 2026. Unlike the lush summer scenes, you can experience a romantic snowy landscape — and we can also visit the First Love filming locations in the wintertime.
今年夏天,我在北海道的札幌為一對情侶拍攝照片。拍攝地點包括 Netflix《First Love 初戀》中出現的那座美麗大橋,以及札幌市中心的中島公園。風景非常迷人,我們邊聊天邊拍照,氣氛輕鬆又浪漫。
我也將在 2026年2月初的札幌雪祭 期間回到北海道拍攝。屆時可以在銀白的雪景中拍攝,也能安排《First Love 初戀》取景地主題的冬季攝影。想在浪漫的北海道留下特別回憶的話,非常推薦喔!

This past summer, at the end of August, I had the chance to capture many photos in Hokkaido (Sapporo, Otaru and Furano). I would love to start sharing them with you, and the first story is from Otaru. I photographed a wonderful couple at several beautiful spots around the city. They trusted me completely to choose the locations, which allowed us to visit nearly all of the places I had planned within our one-hour shoot.
We began at an old railway track, a quiet and charming place where they enjoyed the photoshoot with big smiles. Then we wandered through historic buildings before moving to Otaru’s most famous landmark, the canal. Although the canal is usually very busy, it wasn’t too crowded that day since we visited later in the day, making it smooth and enjoyable for all of us. The scenery was breathtaking, and simply walking along the canal felt so relaxing and special.
Throughout the shoot, we talked and laughed together, and the couple’s bright and cheerful energy made me feel like I was photographing friends. The hour passed by in no time, and I was truly grateful to have met them and to see how much they loved their photos.
I am planning more photoshoots in Hokkaido in the summer of 2026, and I am also accepting bookings now for the Sapporo Snow Festival in early February 2026. If you would love to capture your memories with Hokkaido’s beautiful winter scenery, please reach out to me.
You can also have a photoshoot at the filming locations of Netflix’s “First Love” in Sapporo! It’s one of my favorite series, so if you’d like, let’s visit those romantic spots for your photoshoot in February.
