Plan & Prep – What to Expect

We keep sessions relaxed and easy. We walk 1–2 km with breaks for posing tips. Before the day, we confirm your preferred vibe and send a simple plan. Light rain can look beautiful; for heavy rain we offer free weather rescheduling. Delivery is in 5 business days with careful color and exposure edits on all best shots.

What to bring: comfortable shoes, water, optional jacket.
Kids & strollers welcome — we adjust the pace.
Payment: secure card link after confirmation.

Communication: our English is simple, so we use clear messages, photos, and maps to guide you smoothly. Translation support is ready if needed.

Season & Timing

Kyoto is stunning year-round. For soft light and fewer people, sessions start just after sunrise or around golden hour. Spring (Mar–Apr) for cherry blossoms; autumn (Nov) for colorful leaves; summer evenings and winter mornings are also lovely with fewer crowds.

Meeting Points & Logistics

We send a map pin and short instructions the day before. Example meeting spots:

Gion & Yasaka: near Yasaka Shrine main gate (easy taxi access).
Arashiyama: Bamboo Grove north entrance (early), then riverbank area.
Higashiyama: around Sannenzaka area for pagoda views.

Included in the International Plan: English coordination (simple & clear), local guiding during the shoot, and delivery of all best edited photos via online gallery.
