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.

在八月底，我在小樽为一对开朗的情侣拍摄了照片。我们走过旧铁路、历史街道和著名的小樽运河。那天运河并不拥挤，氛围非常轻松愉快。这对情侣活力满满，让拍摄的一个小时转瞬即逝。

我計畫在2026年夏天再次到北海道進行更多的拍攝，也已經開始接受 2026年2月初札幌雪祭 的拍攝預約。
如果你想在北海道浪漫的雪景中留下美麗的回憶，歡迎與我聯繫。

另外，也可以在 Netflix《First Love 初戀》 的拍攝地取景拍照！
這是我非常喜歡的一部作品，如果你有興趣，我們可以在二月的拍攝時一起走訪札幌的《First Love》取景地，拍出充滿浪漫氣氛的照片。
