Finally, cherry blossom season has arrived! I went to take photos of a surprise proposal under the cherry blossoms! While I was waiting and preparing at Osaka Castle Park early in the morning, I felt the arrival of spring as I admired the full bloom cherry blossoms. Spring in Japan is the best.
Since my partner and I were sharing our real-time location, the tension increased as the couple approached us. Our plan was for him to ask me to take a photo and then propose while I was taking the photo.
We approached the couple naturally at the shooting location and wandered around, waiting for them to approach us. After they asked me to take a photo for them, I pretended to be Japanese to hide the fact that I was a photographer. As planned, he proposed to her, and we successfully captured a very happy moment under the full bloom cherry blossoms. They looked truly happy, and even I, who was taking the photos, couldn’t help but smile with happiness.
Afterward, we walked around Osaka Castle Park and took various photos, then moved to Namba for street photography. They were interested in everything I explained about Osaka, and I was really happy about that. They were the kindest, most polite, and friendliest couple I’ve ever met. I was so happy to have the opportunity to take photos of their proposal. Thank you so much!!!

I had two photo shoots in Osaka, during the day and at night. A guy booked both sessions, and we got many great shots with nice backgrounds around Osaka. We first met at Osaka Castle Park and walked around to different places. Ume blossoms were in bloom and they were very beautiful for taking photos with. He had visited before and knew about the flowers, which I didn’t know. We took some amazing photos with the Ume blossoms. He was very good at posing and I liked his style, including his hair, clothes, and glasses. I took many photos of Osaka Castle from different angles. His favorite photos were the ones I took in front of the castle, and my favorite photo was the one where he was sitting on a corner of blocks.

After the first shoot, we met again at night in the Namba area and got many great night shots of him. Night time made him look even cooler and I captured some great moments with the city lights of Osaka. I was very happy that he liked all of my photos. We also went to Nara and Kyoto, and I will post those photos later!

A very friendly family joined my photo shooting tour in Namba. Namba is the central area of Osaka city where many tourists stay. There are a lot of restaurants, souvenir shops, and it is easy to get to popular sightseeing spots like Universal Studios, Kaiyukan aquarium, and Osaka Castle Park from here.
The photo shoot was only one hour, so we didn’t have much time, but we enjoyed it together. I took many photos of the whole family, the sisters, the couple, and individual photos at different locations. They liked the places I took them to and were interested in Japanese culture. They especially liked the temple. I had a great time with them and hope to see them again soon!

A couple took my night photo shooting tour in Namba. They came to Japan for their honeymoon and I took many lovely shots with neons in Osaka. Amerikamura area, Dotonbori, Hozenji temple, and some wall arts, Namba area has a lot of beautiful places for taking photos. I usually took my guests to less people places where only local people know and I was happy because they liked these places and my photos. I recommended some restaurants in Osaka and I hope it helped their travel. Osaka has great foods and I want everyone to enjoy this nice city with delicious Japanese local foods!!:)

This was day time photo session in Namba, Osaka with a couple. We did a short time shooting around Shinsaibashi station and got many great pictures. 1 hour shooting is long enough to take photos only in 1 area. Namba area has a lot of things to see, eat, take photos like a Glico running men, a Crab big billboard and busy street. I took them to popular spots and hidden spots in Namba as well. They liked all places and photos I took on that day. I had great time with them and would like to see them again!!

After Harry Potter area, We visited to Nintendo world where is the most popular place in Universal Studios Japan. It was super crowded and many people were having great time as a Mario there. There are Mario cart attraction, Yoshi ride attraction, restaurant and souvenir shop.
We took some photos there with Mario background and [?] blocks!!:) It was so fun and I felt like Mario or Luigi!! I could ride a Mario cart because it was so long waiting line there. I will try next time!!
They enjoyed this are and I was super happy to take their photos at Nintendo world and Universal Studios Japan!! Thank you so much for great time and see you again!!:)

The Universal Studios Japan is the one of popular place in Osaka and many people visit there to have a great day. I have taken some photos there before but this shooting wasn’t same as what I did. They want to get Pre-wedding photos in USJ with our people on background. It is very hard to get the photos like that because it is very crowded every time. So we decided to go at 7am and wait for opening the gate. Actually USJ opens 30-60min earlier than schedule and the gate opened 7:30am on that day.
We want to get some photos in Harry Potter area and went straight from entrance. A few people walked in that area but not many. I told them where to stand, how to walk and make a pose and took a lot of great shots for an hour. They were wearing Harry Potter costume and looked super nice and suited of Harry Potter area. I put some photos here:)

Thank you so much for awesome time and you are a great model!! It was such a fun time to take your photos with beautiful background in Namba and neons!!

I always had great photo shooting time on every tours. Japan border has opened in Oct and I could see many people from the world after that. I was super happy to hold the shooting tour in Nov and Dec and could make them happy with great photos. I still have some shootings this month and will do my best and help them to make memories in Japan as a photographer in Osaka!!

I had many family photo session in Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Wakayama in October and November and was so happy to see many friendly families. Sometimes, I am not norvous usually when I see someone first time but I thought something about them before meeting. But I found that I didn’t need to think anything when I saw my guests. Almost all people were so nice and friendly. Some kids are shy but they are getting alone with me and I can take great photos a lot. Each shooting is my great memories and I hope it is for them too.
Thank you so much for taking my photo shooting!! I really enjoyed all photo shooting in October and November. I have some shooting the rest of December and will do my best!!

The night photo session is getting the most popular in my tour. Many tourists stay in Osaka and have great time with Osaka foods, people and culture. It doesn’t have many sightseeing spots like Tokyo but I think Osaka is great place to travel and stay because we can go to Kyoto, Nara, Wakayama and Kobe in an hour by train from Osaka and Osaka foods are amazing! Please stay in Osaka and enjoy night life! Don’t forget about taking my night shooting tour! Haha

I have taken many family photos in Osaka and Kyoto in November. This is the one of them. We visited local shrine and temple to celebrate kids and got a lot of great photos of them. There are very beautiful yellow Autumn leaves trees and they picked some leaves up from ground and play together.
They are local family but I have a shooting tour for tourists too. I will take you to many great photo spots where only local people know and capture some great moments. I can help you to make memories in Japan!!

I have taken family photos at a big park in Osaka. A baby was soooooo cute and he was smiling during a shooting. It made me and his family happy and I got many great photos thanks to him. This is why I really like to take photos of people. I am so happy to help to make memories of the day of family with photos, to spend happy time with my guests, to make happy when I show them some photos during a shooting. My photo shooting could make people happy and this is why I am living.
I hope that I can see everyone from the world and make their day happy with my photos from now on.

November and December are celebrating season for children in Japan. Many families visit to a shrine for praying health, happy and long life of kids. They are wearing a Japanese traditional kimono and look very special and so cute. I have some these celebrating photo shoots recently. Not only Osaka, You can see this cereblation everywhere in Japan and you can try if you come from the world.
