Breathtaking Kyoto: Transformative Photography Experience

We recently had a family photo session with Satoshi; he was beyond wonderful, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, he made us feel completely comfortable, even managing to capture genuine smiles from the kids (no small feat!). His talent is evident in every shot, and each photo is beautifully framed and full of warmth. He has a true gift for capturing those candid, in-between moments that really reflect our family's personality. Communication was seamless, as he speaks excellent English and truly took the time to understand what we wanted. He guided us with ease while still allowing us to be ourselves. We couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for someone to create beautiful, timeless family memories, I highly recommend him.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the photoshoot with Satoshi. He takes you on an interesting tour through Gion, providing information and answering questions as you walk between photos. The photos he took turned out perfect. We couldn’t recommend the experience more!

Our photography tour with Satoshi in Kyoto's iconic Gion District was an extraordinary experience. It was an enthralling, enjoyable, engaging and educational experience that deepened our understanding of the history and culture of Japan and inspired us to see things from a new angle. The photographs were exceptionally beautiful, capturing unforgettable moments that will be cherished for a lifetime . Highly recommended!

Satoshi was very professional throughout our photography session. We got lucky that it was just my partner and I and our session was the earliest with not much crowd so it was a plus. He was very friendly and chatty. For someone who are not photogenic like us he made the experience very pleasant. He was also very attentive and constantly ask if you're fine after walking for some time. He also brought us to a few spots in Kyoto where we've never been to. You'll not regret for booking this photography tour as part of your Kyoto trip!

Great photo shoot, highly recommend, it was a very enjoyable experience with great photos! Satoshi is not only super professional, but he was so nice and he took amazing photos! Definitely would do it again, loved the experience!

Hi Satoshi sen, thank you so much for the wonderful photos! I very much wish we can have a photographer like you back home. I love that you were able to give me a mixture of candid pictures, “staged” , and also natural fun images. The turnaround time is great. All my photographers in the US want 2 weeks minimum which I never get that. Some photographers wouldn’t even show you any pre editing photos because they can look very disappointing and different. I like how confident you are during the whole shooting that you don’t mind showing off your real photography skills immediately after you hit the shutter! (Instead of rely heavily on post editing session) When I first opened the files, I was very impressed on the image quality! I thought about getting the raw files and edit them myself if I need to get large print, but nope, they are more than good enough for me! You are truly the highlight of my trip! Let me know when you come back to the US, we will show you Texas! I hope you realize how gifted you are in doing this type of photography.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful time on this photography tour. The experience was amazing. Our tour guide and photographer Satoshi was really what made it so great. Easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and an excellent eye for photography. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get high quality pictures together while in Japan. A perfect score, 10/10 would highly recommend!

Shitoshi is very knowledgeable about the area, ask him about Osaka before you visit for local tips and sites! He led us around the local parks and Shrines for pictures and gave us insight on some of the traditions and customs the people who love here follow. Very kind and was good at leading the conversation. Only hiccup we had was finding the meeting point as the area was extremely crowded and we had not sufficiently accounted for that time, thankfully we were able to proceed with the shoot despite falling a few minutes behind. We will definitely book again when we visit in the future!

Highly recommend! Satoshi was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He was very helpful with posing and making sure we get the shots we want and more. Thank you so much Satoshi!

We had an excellent time with Satoshi san! We have done a few casual photo shoots before but Satoshi san was the best! He was so friendly and even shared with us the stories of each location making the shoot even more meaningful! We were also extremely satisfied with the edited photos and we are grateful to have met him!
