Posted Manu AkamatsuPosted in OSAKA

Photoguider-Japan has been birthed to create unforgettable memories and capturing beautiful moments to travelers of Japan!!

It is so hot and humid in Japan and it is easy to get tired if we walk outside in daytime. I can take your pictures with sunshine and photos must be beautiful but I recommend you Night Photoshooting tour in Namba, Osaka. Namba area has many good sightseeing spots like Shinsaibashi shopping street, America-Mura, Dotonbori and Hozenji temple. You can go to Kuromon market where is very popular place to eat fresh Sushi, Sashimi, Japanese beef and more Japanese food in 10mins on your foot from Namaba station. The night photoshooting tour was born for taking pictures wth bright bill boards in Namba and show you good restaurants I recommend. Night time photoshooting is fit for people prefer cooler and darker photos. Usually I take pictures on the street has some shops and lights, riverside, narrow street has Japanese atmosphere and temple. You can join with your friends, partner, family and Of course very welcome solo traveler.

After the tour, You can have nice dinner which you want because Namba area has a lot of restaurants. I will show you some my recommendations restaurants where good price, nice foods and local one. I really love eating and I would like you to enjoy Osaka foods!! Please try this Night Photoshooting tour if you didn’t decide what you do in Osaka at night time.

Happy big family photoshooting in Osaka castle park!!

Posted adminPosted in OSAKA

It’s already been a month since I wrote a blog last time. I have many photoshooting diaries I want to update and will write about the end of June.

I have taken family pictures in Osaka, Kyoto and Nara. Sometimes they are big family like 7 or 8 people (Actually I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers and we’re big family too) and it was so good experiences for me. But the biggest family I have ever taken joined my tour the end of June. They are 15 people!!!! I was so excited to see and take their pictures. We started the tour from Morinomiya station one of the nearest station to get to Osaka castle. It was Saturday but less people than every usual because the G20 was holding in Osaka and Osaka castle was closed before a day and many polices regulated around Osaka castle park. It was good chance to take pictures without other people in the background.

This family is made from 4 families and Grand mother and father have 7 grandchildren. They look so happy and very closed and made me happy too. I could try to make them some positions and taking unique photos because they are big group. The pictures look so beautiful and fun. I love them and hope they like too. I am looking forward to seeing them again!!:)

It is getting hot and humid in Japan. Summer is coming soon. I can’t wait to see many tourists in Japan!!

Awesome Cheery blossoms season!!!!

Posted adminPosted in OSAKA, KYOTO, NARA

I had a lot of tours in Spring time with beautiful Cherry blossoms in Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo and Nara. It was amazing season here and I was super happy to know many people who are my friends already now. I held the tour at Arashiyama park, Seiryoji temple, Maruyama park, Yasaka shrine, Demachiyanagi, Kyoto imperial palace, Gion area in Kyoto, Osaka castle park, Sumiyoshi park, Sumiyoshi shrine in Osaka, Nara park, Kasuga shrine in Nara. In addition, Ueno park, Odaiba in Tokyo. Cherry blossoms were blooming and beautiful everywhere in Japan. I got many great pictures and memories with them and they are unforgettable experiences for me and I hope for my guests too.

Cherry blossoms will bloom north of Japan area like Sapporo, Hakodate and Aomori. They bloom late because it’s colder than west south side. You can still see and take pictures with Cherry blossoms if you go to These areas. I am already missing Cherry blossoms and Spring. It is getting warm and Summer is coming soon. We can see other flowers and it is beautiful too. I am looking forward to meet new guests and friends in next season!!

Anniversary travel Photoshooting in Osaka

Posted adminPosted in OSAKA

We met at Morinomiya station is one of the nearest station from Osaka castle park. They are for Singapore and we talked about my favorite foods in Singapore first. I felt its not first time to see them because they were so friendly and I didn’t need to make conversations because of them. We felt we are good team during my tour. They came to Osaka for the first time in 10 years, So I was happy to show them good places in Osaka.

Osaka castle park is huge park in Osaka and many tourists visit the park everyday. We took many pictures at nice places where less people. It was beautiful day and blue sky was very beautiful and I took the pictures with it. I took them to the best place to see Osaka castle and It isn’t known well such as Pram garden. I was worrying how bloom prams but we could see many beautiful Prams there. They liked the places and we enjoyed Photoshooting there.

After Osaka castle, We moved to Namba area. Namba area has very touristy place but it has good photo spots. America mura is young people town and we too pictures with wall arts, shops, local restaurants on street. A lot of Japanese young people drunk bobble tea everywhere and it is super popular now. Japanese new cultures are from this area in Osaka. Dotombori was so crowded but we could take photos there too. I explained Japanese culture and history in Houzenji Yokocho, they were interested in everything of my tour and it made me happy very much. I recommended them good local Okonomiyaki restaurant in Osaka and they went there next day and sent me pictures of that. I was so happy to help them to make good memories in Osaka. I hope they take my tour with their family next time and I am looking forward to take family pictures!!

Night photoshoot tour in Osaka

We met at Apple store Shinsaibashi at 7:30pm and went to America-mura where is a young people town like many arts, fashions, foods and young people. It is good place to take pictures. The guy joined my tour and he wants to became a model in Japan or his home. We really enjoyed to take pictures each other because I liked his posing and his eyes and he liked my style of pictures. He is still young and has nice smile but looked mature when I took pictures. After America-mura, went to Doutonbori area where is the most popular place in Osaka. It is very beautiful billboard, neon and traditional narrow paths. I love to take pictures here especially night time. He also liked this place and enjoyed photoshooting.
