I conducted a photoshoot in Osaka, and my clients were a wonderfully friendly family. They had rented kimonos prior to the shoot, and we arranged to meet at a kimono rental shop. Kimonos are traditional attire in Japan, commonly worn during winter, while yukatas are favored in summer. Yukatas suited them perfectly and proved to be ideal for our photoshoot.

We began by visiting a local shrine, where I captured family portraits and individual shots featuring Ema plates. The daughter displayed a keen interest in Japanese culture, which seemed to have inspired this photoshoot. As such, I took numerous photos of her: beside vending machines, on the street, and near lanterns. Naturally, I documented their candid moments of walking and conversing as well. Despite the hot weather, it was an excellent day for shooting. Many thanks for choosing my photoshoot plan! 🙂

I am a photographer specializing in capturing photos of tourists in Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. Recently, I had the pleasure of conducting a couple photoshoot at Osaka Castle! The clients were a delightful couple, and the entire shoot was filled with joy and laughter. Osaka Castle Park offers a plethora of fantastic spots for photography due to its vastness. To beat the summer heat, we took a leisurely stroll, pausing for breaks while capturing memorable shots.

Luckily, the timing was perfect, and the hydrangeas were in full bloom, allowing us to capture stunning photos. As there were fewer people around the Osaka Castle area, we were able to get many great shots without distractions. The clear blue sky of summer added to the charm of the photos, creating a sense of happiness and brightness.

Throughout the photoshoot, we engaged in delightful conversations and exchanged cultural insights, making the experience even more enriching. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the couple for their warm and enjoyable company during the shoot. It was truly a delightful experience!

If you’re a foreign tourist visiting Osaka, Kyoto, or Nara and looking to capture beautiful memories of your trip, don’t hesitate to reach out to me for a memorable photoshoot. I’d be honored to capture your special moments in this beautiful country. Let’s create wonderful memories together!

I am a photographer specializing in capturing photos of tourists in Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. During my recent photoshoot, I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful family, consisting of a father and his adorable young daughter. The little girl was incredibly cute, and though she initially seemed shy and bashful during the shoot, she quickly warmed up, allowing us to capture numerous wonderful photos.

We explored the enchanting city of Osaka at night, where the neon lights illuminated the streets, making iconic landmarks like the Glico sign and Dotonbori even more captivating. The city boasts a unique blend of traditional and modern, with places like Hozenji Temple adding a touch of charm.

I guided the family to these picturesque locations and captured beautiful moments through my lens. Despite the photoshoot lasting about an hour and a half, the young girl never hesitated or showed any discomfort. Instead, she delighted us with her radiant smiles, leaving me feeling truly heartened and rejuvenated.

If you’re a foreign tourist visiting Osaka, Kyoto, or Nara and wish to create cherished memories of your trip, I would be honored to be your photographer. My goal is not only to take photographs but also to capture the emotions and joy that fill the moments we share. Let’s create unforgettable memories together in this captivating city!

I had a photoshoot for a couple from the United States. It was a delightful reunion as this couple had participated in one of my previous shoots about five years ago, and I had been eagerly looking forward to this day. The photoshoot involved exploring all the main areas of Osaka, so we spent about six hours together. We had an amazing time, engaging in various conversations without ever getting bored. The differences between the United States and Japan were fascinating topics, and we discussed subjects such as finances, marriage, and language, allowing me to learn a lot. This couple had the brightest and kindest personalities, and they were truly the epitome of politeness. They are now cherished friends of mine. They loved the photos I captured and expressed their happiness, making it a fulfilling day of shooting. I’m excited about the prospect of going out for a meal together when they visit Japan again. Thank you so much!

I recently had a couple’s photoshoot in Osaka, and it was a long-awaited surprise proposal session! The request was to propose in a greenery-rich location, so I suggested a less crowded spot in Osaka Castle Park and waited there, hiding among the trees. Pretending to be a tourist, I kept an eye on them as they approached. Once they stopped in the middle of a wide promenade, I emerged from the shadow of a tree and captured that very moment. The proposal was a great success. The couple looked incredibly happy, embracing each other, and capturing that moment made me feel incredibly joyful too. I took various photos, and although they expressed their gratitude, I was the one who truly wanted to thank them. Thank you for choosing me among numerous photographers. I was delighted to be able to assist in capturing such a happy moment. Please visit Japan again! Congratulations!

I had a couple’s photoshoot in Osaka, which was a 5-hour tour exploring various locations. A lovely couple from Hawaii joined me, and we had an incredibly enjoyable time. We met up at Osaka Castle Park and took photos amidst the lush greenery and the magnificent Osaka Castle. Osaka Castle is always a beautiful place to visit, but during early summer, the vibrant green foliage is particularly stunning, making it the perfect season. We then moved to a shrine called Sumiyoshi Taisha, where we captured photos with historical Japanese buildings and a thousand-year-old tree. In this area, there’s a local shopping street frequented by locals, and we enjoyed eating croquettes, a popular local street food, together. The couple loved the croquettes and even exclaimed that it was the most delicious street food they had ever tasted in Japan! Their happiness made me extremely delighted. We also took photos in Namba, and throughout the shoot, the couple always had smiles on their faces, allowing us to capture incredibly natural-looking photographs.

I recently did a photoshoot with two families at Osaka Castle Park. Since they were friends, I was able to capture group photos with both families together, as well as individual family portraits. The children were incredibly cute and friendly, so we had a great time exploring Osaka Castle Park while having fun and playing around. One of the mothers was pregnant, so we also took maternity photos, and we were able to create beautiful memories with the backdrop of pink flowers in bloom. I’m really happy to have met such a friendly and welcoming group of families. I look forward to capturing photos of the growing children when you visit Osaka again!

I had a family photoshoot! They requested evening to night photos in the Namba area of Osaka, so we started by taking pictures on the top floor of Namba Parks, with trees and buildings as the backdrop. There were many unique-shaped buildings and structures, and the location was filled with an abundance of flowers, which is rare for a cityscape. They were thrilled with the photos and the vibrant atmosphere. Then, we moved on to Dotonbori and Hozenji Yokocho, the heart of Namba, capturing shots against lively backgrounds and traditional Japanese scenes. Every location was lovely, and I was delighted to help create lasting memories for the family. Come back to Japan again sometime!

Thank you for the one-year anniversary photoshoot request! We took commemorative photos at Osaka Castle Park. The couple was absolutely lovely, and their dresses and suits looked stunning. The photos we captured amidst the park’s greenery were exceptionally beautiful. We took pictures with the late-blooming cherry blossoms and also included Osaka Castle in the background. Among the various photo spots around Osaka Castle, the one where the castle reflects in the pond of the Japanese garden is particularly breathtaking. It seemed to be their favorite spot as well, and we took photos in various poses there. I was delighted to see their satisfaction with the photos. Thank you very much!

　I had the opportunity to photograph a large family from Australia! It was a wonderful shoot to celebrate the birthday of their grandmother, who lives in Japan. Since there were so many people, we captured various types of photos, including group shots, family portraits, and photos of the children. The grandmother, who was the center of attention, was delighted and happy to have everyone gather to celebrate her birthday. Moreover, the weather was fantastic, and the flowers and trees in the park were displaying beautiful colors, making it the perfect day for the shoot.
　Interestingly, it was a reunion after several years since we last took family photos in Kyoto. However, it felt as if we hadn’t been apart for all those years because we had such a great time. When I visit Australia, I definitely want to see them again. Thank you for always providing enjoyable moments. Looking forward to your next visit to Osaka!

This time, I took family photos at Osaka Castle Park! But the main focus was on capturing birthday photos for the mother! This family was incredibly cheerful and had constant smiles on their faces. They mentioned that they loved my energetic vibes, which motivated me even more during the shoot. We were able to capture photos of the entire family as well as many individual shots of the mother, and she was really pleased with the results. It was a truly enjoyable time as we chatted about various topics throughout the shoot. The weather was great, and capturing the child running in an area with blooming cherry blossoms, as well as photos with the backdrop of fallen cherry blossoms, turned out to be fantastic. I hope you visit Japan again! Thank you and happy birthday!

The family who participated in my previous photo shoot came back to Osaka and booked another session with me! We had a two-day photo shoot, just like last time, at Osaka Castle Park and Universal Studios Japan. Since our previous meeting was such a fun shoot, I was really looking forward to seeing them again. The cherry blossom season had ended at Osaka Castle Park, but we were still able to capture photos with the late-blooming cherry blossoms. At Universal Studios Japan, we took fun pictures in the Harry Potter area and Nintendo World. They even bought me a band at the Nintendo area and we had a blast wearing hats together. It became a wonderful memory. I’m looking forward to meeting them at another location next time! I was really happy to see them again! Thank you so much!

I went to Osaka Castle Park to take proposal photos! It was a photo shoot for a group of four people, a couple and their friends, and I was surprised that the boyfriend spoke Japanese so well. I often struggle to find the right words when I speak English, so it was reassuring to have someone who could speak Japanese. The cherry blossoms at Osaka Castle Park had already fallen, and the trees had turned into beautiful green leaves. However, there was a late-blooming cherry blossom called Botanzakura, which had large flowers, and it was in full bloom, so we took many photos with that cherry blossom and Osaka Castle. We were able to take the proposal photo at the best angle, and the couple was really happy, and I also had a great time. Congratulations! Let’s meet again in Osaka!

I did an engagement photo shoot at Osaka Castle Park! The couple was absolutely lovely, full of energy and brightness, and their yellow and blue outfits suited them very well. We had lively conversations throughout the shoot, and they were smiling the whole time. Although they seemed a little nervous at first, She managed to help him relax and we were able to capture many natural-looking photos. The photos taken with the cherry blossoms in full bloom were all filled with happiness, and I felt happy too while taking them. We also took group photos with their friends who came along, and before we knew it, the one-hour shoot was over. Although the cherry blossoms have now turned into beautiful green leaves, as it was an early April photo shoot, summer is coming soon in Japan. Japanese summers can be extremely hot and humid, so I recommend morning shoots!
