Questions & Answers
Can we take photos at any tourist attraction?
Most public areas can be photographed, but some temples, shrines, gardens and other private or managed attractions may have specific photography rules or require prior permission for professional or commercial photography. We will check the requirements for your chosen locations in advance and let you know if any additional permission or fees are required.
Are all locations available for photography?
Not necessarily. Some temples, shrines and other tourist attractions have their own photography rules and may require prior permission for professional or commercial photography. We will check the requirements for your selected locations in advance and let you know if any additional permission or fees apply.
Are entrance fees included?
Entrance fees to attractions and locations are not included in the experience price. If a location requires an entrance ticket, this will be paid separately by the client.
Is the framed photo and delivery included?
Yes. Your selected photo will be professionally printed, framed and delivered to your home country at no additional cost. Availability may vary depending on your country or address, so please check with us before booking.
How long is the photo experience?
The duration depends on the experience you choose. Private experiences can also be customised around your schedule and preferred locations.
Will the photos be mostly posed?
Not at all. The experience is designed around natural, candid photography while you explore and enjoy Japan. I’ll also guide you through a few portraits when appropriate.
Can I choose the locations?
Absolutely. You can tell us which places you’d like to visit, and we’ll help build the experience around your plans.
What happens if it rains?
Japan’s weather can be unpredictable. Depending on the forecast and conditions, we can discuss adjusting the schedule or rescheduling the session.
Can I include a kimono?
Yes. Kimono rental can be arranged separately, depending on the location and availability. Early-morning sessions may require special arrangements with the rental provider.
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all. I’ll guide you when needed, but the focus is on natural moments rather than formal posing.
When will I receive my photos?
Your professionally edited digital photos will be delivered within one week of the session.
Can the experience be customised?
Yes. Every private experience can be tailored to your interests, schedule, group and preferred locations.
