I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful family photoshoot at Osaka Castle Park. This family was so cheerful and full of energy, which made the whole session incredibly fun. From the very beginning, they posed happily in front of the camera, and their smiles made every shot special.
The parents were so kind and warm, not only with their children but also with me, and their three kids were full of laughter and energy. They kept me smiling the entire time! I suggested different ideas like jumping together or running through the park, and they joined in with so much enthusiasm. Thanks to their cooperation, we captured so many joyful and natural photos.
Even though it was a very hot day, the children stayed engaged and cheerful until the very end, which made the one-hour photoshoot pass by in no time. I truly enjoyed spending time with them, and I’m so happy we created such fun memories together.
Thank you so much for this unforgettable session — I hope to see you again when you come back to Japan!

I recently had the chance to capture a beautiful proposal photoshoot at Osaka Castle Park with the sweetest couple. We carefully planned every detail to make the proposal feel natural, and thanks to that preparation, she had no idea what was coming. The moment he got down on one knee, it was a complete surprise, and I was able to capture the most genuine reactions.
To make it seamless, I pretended to be a tourist waiting nearby so I could naturally start photographing them without raising suspicion. His acting was perfect, and everything unfolded exactly as we had planned. She was truly surprised, moved to tears, and overjoyed — it was such a touching moment to witness through my lens.
After the proposal, the couple loved my style of photography and followed my posing directions effortlessly. Every time I showed them the photos on the spot, their faces lit up with excitement, which made me so happy. Throughout the session, we chatted and laughed together, and it really felt like spending time with friends.
The one-hour photoshoot flew by so quickly because it was so much fun. I feel so lucky to have met them and to capture such an important moment in their lives. Congratulations again — and I hope to see you back in Japan for another photoshoot someday!
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to photograph a surprise proposal at Fushimi Inari Shrine, one of the most iconic and popular shrines in Kyoto. Because this location is always very crowded, it was essential to plan carefully in advance. I created a customized map for my client, marking the exact meeting point and proposal spot, and we discussed the flow in detail beforehand. Thanks to this preparation, everything went smoothly, and we were able to capture a very natural and emotional proposal moment.
What made this proposal even more special was that his family joined the session. They played their roles perfectly, blending in as regular tourists, so his girlfriend never suspected a thing. When the big moment came, she was completely surprised—and her reaction was priceless. She jumped with joy, and I felt so happy capturing that excitement through my camera.
Both he and his partner were incredibly kind and appreciative. They trusted my ideas for different poses and locations, which allowed us to capture a variety of beautiful photos around the shrine. His family was also very friendly and supportive, which made the whole photoshoot feel fun and memorable. Time passed so quickly, and it was truly one of the most enjoyable proposal photoshoots I’ve done in Kyoto.
To this wonderful couple—thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer to capture such an important moment in your lives. Congratulations again, and I hope to see you back in Japan someday!

During my photography journey in Osaka Castle Park, I had the pleasure of meeting a truly wonderful couple. This session was not only about capturing beautiful moments—it felt like making new friends. From the very beginning, when I introduced myself, they welcomed me with such warmth and friendliness that I immediately felt at ease.
As we walked through the park, we talked about Japan, their home country, favorite foods, and cultural differences. They even shared thoughtful advice about my photography business, which meant so much to me. What made this shoot even more special was that they are expecting a baby. They brought along their ultrasound photo, and I was able to capture some sweet maternity-style shots that celebrated this exciting chapter in their lives.
After the shoot, they surprised me again by sending a short behind-the-scenes video of me at work, which I was able to share on Instagram. It was such a kind gesture and a beautiful memory to keep. But their kindness didn’t stop there. A few weeks later, a package arrived from them containing pancake mix and macadamia nut sauce—because I had once mentioned how much I love it! I was so touched that I immediately messaged them to share my gratitude.
This couple’s warmth and generosity turned an ordinary photoshoot into an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait for the day they return to Japan with their baby so we can create even more memories together.

I recently had the joy of photographing a truly beautiful surprise proposal in Kyoto. Since the session was early in the morning, the park was almost empty, which created the perfect atmosphere for such a special moment. Surrounded by silence, it felt as though the entire space became sacred, making the proposal even more unforgettable.
The couple was so adorable and friendly that after the proposal, I suggested several different photo spots. They happily agreed to every idea, which allowed me to capture so many wonderful moments of them together.
They also had one special request: to take photos with hydrangeas. To prepare for this, I had already checked where the flowers were blooming. The location was a bit farther from the proposal spot, but it was absolutely worth the trip. When we arrived, the area was filled with blooming hydrangeas, creating a magical atmosphere. The couple loved it, and it made the shoot even more special.
What I enjoyed most was not only taking their photos but also talking with them throughout the day. They were incredibly easy to talk to and made the effort to understand me, even with my imperfect English, which I deeply appreciated.
Congratulations again to this lovely couple! Photographing your proposal in Kyoto was such a joy, and I hope you come back to Japan again one day.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing an incredibly stylish family during a nighttime photoshoot in Namba, Osaka. From the moment we met, they greeted me politely, introduced themselves warmly, and smiled so genuinely that I felt completely at ease. Thanks to their kindness, we were able to start the shoot right away without any nervousness.
Their mother had thoughtfully selected a few spots she wanted to include, which made our one-hour session flow smoothly without hesitation about where to go. Of course, I captured plenty of full family portraits, but I also took individual shots of each member. They especially loved the locations I suggested, and the final images turned out stunning — everyone was thrilled with the results.
Their outfits were nothing short of amazing. Each family member had a unique style that perfectly suited them, yet they complemented each other beautifully — just like professional models. They were so friendly and easy to work with, and after the shoot, I even took them to one of my favorite ramen restaurants before we said goodbye.
From start to finish, the entire experience was filled with warmth, friendliness, and genuine connection. The children were incredibly well-mannered and sweet, making the evening even more enjoyable. I’m truly grateful to have met such a wonderful family, and I hope they’ll visit Japan again soon so we can create even more memories together.

This summer, I had the pleasure of photographing a truly lovely couple at Osaka Castle Park. Although the day felt like the start of summer with the warm weather, our one-hour session went by in the blink of an eye — full of smiles, laughter, and beautiful moments.
After greeting them in the morning, I spent some time chatting so they could relax before we began the shoot. They kindly answered my questions, and I could see their initial nervousness gradually fade away. Thanks to that, I was able to capture their genuine smiles and natural expressions, which made the photos truly special.
We incorporated vibrant summer flowers — ones that only bloom during this season — and of course the iconic Osaka Castle into the backdrop. Because we started in the early morning, the park wasn’t too crowded, allowing us to move around smoothly and make the most of each location.
The couple absolutely loved their photos and told me at the end of the shoot how much fun they had. I felt so happy hearing that and was truly honored to have captured such precious memories for them. They were incredibly friendly, kind, and wonderful to work with.
I sincerely hope they visit Japan again in the future — and perhaps we can create even more beautiful memories together here in Osaka.

To celebrate her 15th birthday, we enjoyed a special three-day photoshoot across some of Osaka’s most iconic locations — Universal Studios Japan, the Namba night area, and Osaka Castle Park. Every single day was filled with creativity, laughter, and wonderful photo ideas that made the experience unforgettable.
At Universal Studios Japan, we explored the enchanting Harry Potter area, posed in front of colorful character-themed buildings, and captured dreamy shots with the carousel glowing in the background. The birthday girl was incredibly cheerful, with a beautiful smile, and gave such positive feedback on my photos that it inspired me to be even more creative throughout the shoot.
For the night photoshoot in Namba, her mother joined us, checking her hair and helping with small details to ensure every shot looked perfect. I was especially touched when I saw her mother gently placing a tiara on her head — it was such a heartfelt and memorable moment.
Our final day was at Osaka Castle Park, where we captured both fun and elegant shots. Her younger brother also joined and quickly became friends with me, making the session feel warm and relaxed. The whole family was so kind, friendly, and full of positive energy. I truly enjoyed working with them and felt honored to capture such important memories.
If you’re planning a birthday photoshoot in Japan or want to capture memories in Osaka’s most famous spots, I’d be happy to help create something just as magical.

One of the most unforgettable photo sessions I’ve had recently was a surprise proposal in Kyoto. The couple had planned a quiet and heartfelt moment on a small bridge inside a peaceful park, and I had the honor of capturing it.
To keep everything a secret, I approached them as if I were looking for a couple to model for a photo project. I gently guided them toward the bridge where the proposal would happen. Their friends, who were in on the plan, acted naturally to help everything go smoothly. Thanks to their support, the proposal was perfectly executed — and her reaction was priceless. She was absolutely thrilled and surprised, and the moment was full of joy and excitement.
After the proposal, people nearby started congratulating the couple, adding even more happiness to the atmosphere. I was so grateful to be there to photograph such a beautiful and emotional moment. We continued the shoot with group photos, some fun shots with friends, and of course, more romantic pictures of the happy couple. Everyone was cheerful, kind, and truly a joy to photograph.
Because the group was so open and excited, I was inspired to get creative and explore parts of the park I don’t usually shoot in. It made the whole session even more fun and memorable.
To the lovely couple and their wonderful friends — thank you for choosing me as your photographer. I’m so happy I got to be a part of your special day. I hope you visit Japan again soon. Congratulations!
One of the greatest joys of being a photographer is building long-lasting relationships with clients who return again and again. Recently, I had the pleasure of welcoming back a lovely family who has booked several photoshoots with me in the past. This time, they returned to Japan and asked me to capture their memories in Tokyo—and I couldn’t have been more excited to see them again.
We met in Asakusa and started the shoot at the iconic Sensoji Temple. Even though it had been a while since we last met, it felt like no time had passed—they were exactly the same warm and cheerful people I remembered. I was genuinely happy to reunite with them.
For this shoot, they were wearing adorable yukata with Sanrio characters—My Melody and Kuromi. I had never seen yukata like those before, and they looked absolutely amazing in them! The colorful and unique outfits added such a fun and playful touch to the photos, making the shoot extra special.
After Asakusa, we made our way to Tokyo Tower for the second part of the session. It was a warm day, so we took care to stay in the shade when possible, but even with the heat, we had a wonderful time chatting and laughing as we continued the shoot. Time flew by because we were having so much fun together.
Later that evening, we met again in Shibuya for a night session. We took some dynamic photos at the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing using a slow shutter to create an artistic, motion-filled effect. After that, we visited Shibuya Sky, where we captured breathtaking night views of the Tokyo skyline. The contrast between the vibrant city lights and the calm, joyful expressions on their faces made for unforgettable photos.
It was such a meaningful and joyful day that I was truly sad to say goodbye. But I believe we’ll meet again soon.
Thank you so much for always choosing me to photograph your memories whenever you visit Japan. Your thoughtful gifts were also so delicious and appreciated. I hope you come back to Japan again soon—I’ll be waiting!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a lovely couple at Osaka Castle Park, one of the most iconic and photogenic locations in Osaka. They had been following my work on social media and came to the shoot with a clear vision of what they wanted, which made planning even more fun. We combined their ideas with my own location suggestions to create a custom photo route through the park.
Osaka Castle Park has so many great photo spots, and this time I discovered a quieter area with lots of trees that I hadn’t used before. It turned out to be perfect for peaceful, romantic shots—and I was really excited to find a new favorite place to shoot!
Since it was late May, the azaleas were in bloom, adding a beautiful pop of color to the background. The couple loved the variety in their photos, and seeing their happy reactions made me so glad they chose to book with me.
Thank you again for trusting me to capture your special time in Japan. I truly hope to see you both again on your next trip!

I had the joy of capturing a beautiful surprise proposal at Osaka Castle Park. The couple was visiting with their family, and the proposal took place at one of the most scenic spots in the park. They were such a sweet and adorable couple, and after the big moment, we took fun group photos with their family—everyone was full of love and happiness, making it a truly special atmosphere to photograph.
A few days later, we met again for a pre-wedding photo session in the lively streets of Namba. It was a completely different vibe from the nature-filled castle park. Surrounded by vibrant signs and cityscapes that really represent Osaka, we got creative together—combining their ideas and mine to capture some really fun and unique shots. We even explored a few backstreets I hadn’t used before, which made the shoot feel like an adventure for me too.
After spending two sessions together, it honestly felt like we had become friends, which made the whole experience even more meaningful. Congratulations again to this lovely couple—I’m so happy I could be part of your story. I hope you come back to Japan again someday!
I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful couple at Nara Park, surrounded by many friendly deer. The weather was perfect—not too hot—making the shoot very comfortable. From the moment we met, they were so friendly, and we enjoyed chatting throughout the session.
After taking photos at a nearby temple, we headed to the main area of Nara Park to capture moments with the deer. Since it was early morning, the deer were calm and easy to photograph. Maybe they were still waking up, which made it even more fun! Once we bought some special crackers for the deer, they quickly approached us, eager for treats.
Later, we visited a quieter, more forested part of the park and were lucky to see a tiny baby deer. Though I’ve visited Nara Park many times, this was my first time seeing such a small fawn. The couple also enjoyed capturing videos with their own camera, making it a special memory.
To my surprise, they brought a souvenir for me, which I truly appreciated. I tried it right away and loved it so much that half was gone in no time! I’m very grateful for their kindness.
It was a joy to photograph these two, and I hope they come back to Japan soon. Their warmth and friendliness made the shoot so enjoyable for me as well.
I had the honor of photographing a truly unforgettable couple in two of Kyoto’s most iconic locations: Fushimi Inari Shrine and the Gion district. From the very first moment we met, I was greeted with the warmest smiles, and I just knew this was going to be a special day. And I was right — we spent about two and a half hours together, and every minute was full of joy and connection.
More than just a photoshoot, it felt like we were old friends catching up. We shared stories, talked about our cultures, and learned so much from one another. I was amazed by how deeply they knew about Japanese traditions — in some areas, even more than I did! It truly moved me to see how much love and respect they had for Japan.
They welcomed me with such kindness that I honestly felt like I was spending the day with family. Saying goodbye at the end was bittersweet because our time together had been so meaningful.
To this incredible couple — thank you for choosing me as your photographer. I will never forget the memories we created together, and I truly hope our paths cross again someday. Until then, please take care and thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
