Kyoto has many great places to sightseeing such as Shrine, Temple, Japanese traditional landscape and Japanese restaurants. You must enjoy if you just walk around in Kyoto city and grab some foods. I will introduce you the best place of Kyoto city to sightseeing in June on this article. The place is Chishakuin temple where it takes about 5 min walk from Shichijyo station. This temple has traditional beautiful building and local people come and pray here. You can see Autumn leaves in November and December but the reason you should go in June is a lot of Hydrensias!! Red, purple, blue and green, You can take photos with many color flowers and it must be awesome and beautiful. I had a photo shooting tour at this place and may guests were happy to see Hydrensias and got great photos. There was something like my guest proposal in front of the flowers and it has succeeded. I took a lot of photos and made great memories together!!! I hope everyone travel in Japan and enjoy many flowers!! Thank you!!!

Hi! I got an awesome news!! Japan will reopen the borders to some tourist in June!! The government is planning about this, However a final decision is not expected to be made before late May. Only some tourists who have a received a booster shot with a recognized vaccine and arrive from a low risk country with respect to the epidemic situation now, but Japan reopen the borders to all tourists and you guys can come to Japan soon I guess.
It is easy to sightseeing and take photos in Kyoto and Osaka everywhere in Japan because there aren’t many tourists now. I hope many tourists come and visit to Japan and am looking forward to making memories with great photos!!:) I can’t wait!!!!

I have been asked about photo book from my customers sometimes and I didn’t try making the books but just started photo book service from this month. A book has been delivered to my customer and she was so glad to receive and look the book. It was hard to make the photo book because I had to think about many things like how to arrange photos and how many photos are the best on a page and something. But I didn’t feel tired because I like to think balance and how show the photos better.
Many people have a lot of photo datas which were taken with smart phone or digital camera and they are only in a SD card and a phone. Of corse I am like this people. But I noticed, Photos would become more beautiful if they are printed. We can show the photos our friends with a photo book when they come our home and the book make us enjoy talking about memories. I am happy to make your photo book even if you don’t join my photoshooting tour. Please ask me feel free if you have any questions about a photo book.
Hi!! It’s been a while since I wrote an article last time. The virus is still spreading in the world. It is getting better in Osaka and people go out to the city like a Dotombori area and Umeda area. I have been staying home still now but I met my friends last weekend in Namba area. We saw a lot of people walked in a main shopping street of Namba area and then thought they have stayed home for long time, So could come to the city finally. We couldn’t see friends and family who don’t live together for longtime and are getting better now slowly.
Universal Studios Japan has just pre-opened before 10days but only for Osaka people who have annual passes. I am the people and have been there last week with my friends and wore a mask. Much much less people there than usual and I didn’t need to wait to get almost all rides. It was very easy to enjoy in USJ!! But my friends and I felt a little sad because so many tourists came here and they looked happy whenever we came. We had to wait in long lines but what it should be. Restaurants and shops are opening now and people have dinner and lunch there. Of course we have to keep our distances and wear masks when we eat. We got used to wearing masks and covering our mouths in trains and outside where it’s’ crowded.
I hope we can go out and see people without having to worry about something soon. Thank you for checking my webpage and I will keep writing articles.
It has been long time since I have written last article. How are you? I am good in Osaka, Japan. It is getting relaxing lockdown here but I think we should to stay home as much as we can. I really want to go out and see my friends and grab some foods honestly but we have to stay home to do these things in near future. I am trying to make video recently and my video making skill is getting better and It is a lot of fun when I am in front of camera and editing. But seeing tourists who come to Japan and taking photos are much much fun you know. So I will write a thing of first photoshooting tour in 2016.
I made a photoshooting plan in Arashiyama the beginning of 2016 and started preparing to be a photographer for tourists in Kansai area of Japan. I visited Arashiyama over 10 times to check where the best point to take photos and how long it takes to visit some spots and take photos. The plan was perfect for me and I posted this photoshooting tour on the web. I thought it’s very hard to get customer because many people hold many kind of tour in Kyoto but I was so surprised because a guy booked my photoshoting tour in a few days from I posted. I have been Arashiyama area 2 time again from I got a booking and was getting excited to hold the tour.
On that day, I was waiting for him at Arashiyama station and hold a welcome board. My body was shaking because I was very very nervous to see my first guest but was better easily when I saw him. He came from US for work and likes to take photos and Japanese sceneries. I tried to talk to him some questions to keep to talk on the way from photo point to point while I checked question lists I made. My English was not good but he tried to understand what I said. This photoshooting tour is 2 hours tour but it has taken 4 hours LOL. I took his pictures a lot and he took some sceneries of Arashiyama. I really had great time with him and we came back where we met. He said ‘This tour was amazing and he was very happy to be my first guest. I should keep doing this tour’. This words made me to decide to keep holding photoshooting tour and started to make other photoshooting plans. Thanks to him, I can be a Photoguider still now. I have seen many guests from this photoshooting tour and had amazing time with them. I LOVE this work and take photo and help my guests and can’t wait to hold a Photoshooitng tour as soon as possible. Stay safe and healthy everyone and thank you for reading this article:)
Now, The thing is very serious all over the world. We have to stay home and can only see friends in laptop screen. I hope everyone stay safe and heathy and the virus goes away soon. For people all over the world staying home and fighting the virus. Full blooming cherry blossoms to keep you company from the comfort of your own home.
I haven’t had any booking this Cherry blossoms season because of the virus and can’t write about Photoshooting. I have wanted to write an article about foods in Osaka which I have had very often. Osaka has many great foods and restaurants but some of them aren’t well known but locals love it. I will tell you some popular foods and restaurants whrere have English menu on this article. I hope this blog helps your travel in Osaka after the virus disappears.
1, Wanaka (Takoyaki) This shop is very very popular for tourists but locals like it as well. I go this place and have Takoyaki with my friends after drinking. Namba area has some Wanaka shops and you can find nearest one from you if you search on google map. The one by Namba grand Kagetsu theater have seat and table, So you can have Takoyaki with beer in the shop. You can choose flavor of sauce such as soy sauce, salt and with soup and I recommend you their original sauce. It is very tasty and you can feel like local Osaka people if you have it after drinking. I had some Takoyaki in Namba and Takaoyakki Wanaka is the best for me. Takoyaki 8 piece: ¥450 / 12 piece: ¥600 / 15 piece: ¥700

5, Tsurutontan (Udon) I love noodles and Udon is my most favorite noodle in Japan. Osaka people like Udon and many Udon restaurants in Osaka city. I recommend you Tsurutontan and this is very popular and have very delicious Udon. I usually go for dinner and order Udon and Sushi but I can’t choose easily because it has many kind of Udon such as seasonable one, curry Udon and simple one as well. I want you to see Udon bowl because it is huge and makes table full easily. Hahaha. I think you may want to take photos. Japan has some Tsurutontan restaurants in Osaka and Tokyo, So you can try it if you don’t have much time in Osaka and have time in Tokyo:) Lunch: ¥1,000-¥1,500 Dinner: ¥1,500-¥3,000
