【10 Years of Gratitude!!!】

Posted Posted in Uncategorized

Since 2016, I have been working as a photographer for 10 years. There are honestly so many things I want to say, but above all, what I feel most strongly is gratitude.

I am deeply thankful to every single client who has chosen me over these past 10 years. Through photography, I have been able to meet so many wonderful people, and I truly feel how lucky I am. Each encounter, each photoshoot, and each shared moment has meant more to me than I can fully express in words.

When I first started, I was still learning everything. My photography, my editing, and even my English were far from perfect. But my clients were always kind, supportive, and encouraging. Because of that, I never lost the desire to grow, improve, and do better with every shoot.

Some clients have returned many times over the years, and meeting them again after a long time always feels special. Sharing meals, conversations, and memories together has truly changed my life.

This 10-year journey is something I will always treasure. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported me and trusted me with their precious travel memories in Japan.

To celebrate this milestone, I am also sharing details about my 10th anniversary campaigns in this video. I hope to make 2026 another unforgettable year, filled with beautiful moments and meaningful connections.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these past 10 years. I truly look forward to continuing this journey with you.

【Behind The Scene】A Rainy Day Surprise Proposal in Arashiyama: A Heartwarming Kyoto Photoshoot!!

Posted Posted in Uncategorized

One rainy morning in Kyoto, I had the honor of photographing a surprise proposal in one of the most scenic spots in the city — Arashiyama, near the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge. Despite the weather, the atmosphere felt even more romantic by the riverside where the proposal took place.

I had been in touch with the groom’s friends in the U.S. prior to the session, and they were eagerly waiting for updates. When the couple arrived at our meeting point, the plan went into motion. As he had arranged, the groom asked me to take a photo of them — and from there, I smoothly transitioned into a mini photo session that led up to the big moment.

The proposal itself was a beautiful success. She was completely surprised and moved to tears. Watching that emotional moment unfold and being able to capture it through my lens was truly touching.

After the proposal, a group of his friends joined via video chat to hear the happy news. Their joy and support were heartwarming to witness — and it was clear how loved and cherished this couple is. During our photo session, they were full of kindness and laughter. Their warmth, not only toward each other but also toward me, made the shoot even more memorable.

I’m so grateful they chose me as their engagement photographer in Kyoto. These kinds of moments are why I love what I do. I hope they’ll come back to Japan again someday — and maybe we’ll meet once more for another happy memory.

Grateful for Every Moment in 2024!!!

This year, I had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful people through photography. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who booked a session with me! Thank you so much!

If I accidentally forgot to include your photo in this video, I sincerely apologize. Please know that each and every one of you holds a special place in my heart.

Wishing you all an incredible year ahead in 2025! Thank you again for making this year so memorable. I hope to see you next year!

Family photo-shooting in the Gion area of Kyoto!!

Posted Posted in Uncategorized

We had a family photo shoot in Kyoto’s Gion area. We met at Yasaka Shrine and captured beautiful moments at Maruyama Park and Yasaka Pagoda. From the start, the family was so warm and welcoming. The kids were a bit shy at first, but after chatting about Pokémon and showing them some of the photos, they quickly opened up. Even though it was a warm day, everyone smiled through it, and we got some lovely, natural shots. Thank you for such a wonderful time!

A surprise proposal photoshoot in Osaka castle park during cherry blossom season!

Posted Posted in Uncategorized

I had a surprise proposal photoshoot in Osaka Castle Park during the fully blooming cherry blossom season. My client informed his partner about a photoshoot without mentioning the proposal. So, I met them as a regular photographer and initially captured some photos amidst the cherry blossoms. Osaka Castle Park is one of the most popular spots in Osaka for cherry blossom viewing, attracting both locals and tourists. I waited for the best timing when it was less crowded.

I positioned them on a narrow path adorned with cherry blossoms and signaled to him. He then proposed, and she was incredibly surprised and burst into laughter. The proposal was incredibly sweet and beautiful, and I couldn’t stop capturing the precious moments. Afterward, we explored the castle area and then moved to the Namba city area. Throughout the shoot, they wore smiles that made me equally joyful. Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer!:)

Kyoto Bliss: Capturing Joy in the Heart of Japan!!

Posted Posted in Uncategorized

We shot in Kyoto! We always have a blast like this during our photoshoots. With instructions on poses and where to stand, anyone can easily become like a professional model. While beautiful and lovely photos are a given, I want the photoshoot experience itself to be a wonderful memory for our clients. That’s why we chat and shoot like friends during the session. Despite the rain during this shoot, it was just a light drizzle, so it wasn’t a problem at all and we had a great time. Thank you!

Family photoshooting in GHIBLI park!!

Posted Posted in Uncategorized

I went to the newly opened Ghibli Park! It was quite difficult to get tickets, but we managed to secure tickets for everyone, so we had a great time together. There are three areas in the Ghibli Park, and we took pictures in all of them. Everywhere was a lovely place, and it seems like it became a really good memory. There was an area that recreated the house from Totoro, a place where you could become a scene from the movie, and lots of souvenirs. The day passed in the blink of an eye because there were so many things to see. Two more areas will open within this year, so I would like to visit again. Thank you so much!
