To truly experience Kyoto, you need to do this tour in Kimono

Lourdes_J, Dec 2023

We had a great time with Andy Yu Lei, he was so nice and accommodating! He took such beautiful pictures of us in many different places . He didn’t mind me pointing out certain places I wanted pictures in and was helpful with poses. He wasn’t rushing or watching the clock, he just wanted us to have a great experience and we did! He also delivered the pictures by the next day

awesome

very accomodating and friendly. Mina knew the best spots and the right angles to take. Arigato, Mina! 🙏🙏🙏

Great service and next day availability.

Alma_L, Sep 2023

It was a great service! I made a reservation for the very next day. As a foreigner, I could not use Line, which many other photographers used as the main platform for their reservations. This website was a life saver. Cocoro was great, she was punctual, charismatic, efficient taking pictures and made walking under the sun a very pleasantexperience. I would 100% recommend the experience with them!

Friendly, local, quality photographer

Alexandra_S, Jul 2023

I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone interested in getting nice photos from Kyoto. I had originally booked another photographer, however they canceled on me at the last minute. Not only did I hear back from Cocoro about my book quickly, but the experience was great. Cocoro guided me through various historical sites around the Gion area in Kyoto. While doing so, she provided local insights on Kyoto and guided my posing for photos. She was a pleasure to chat with and gave me over 60 photos from our time together. I am very happy with this experience. Thank you Coroco!

Great time, Soma is very...

Great time, Soma is very friendly and the photos came quickly and looked very professional. Would recommend seeing him early to hear his recommendations!

AMAZING

Cocoru was wonderful. She took her time taking our photos by the Yasaka shrine, Marumaya park, Chiron- in temple and the streets of Gion in our kimonos . She was so personable, easy to work with and gave us history on places we visited . She made us very comfortable during the entire photo shoot . I would definitely highly recommend. Can’t wait to see our photos ❤️

Beautiful Sakura Shoot in Crowded Kyoto

Christine_L, Apr 2023

Soma is very friendly and good in English. He knows the gems to bring you to where the crowd are much fewer yet still beautiful. He would joke and tell you about some details and history along the way so it's not just a photoshoot session but you get to learn more about the area. He can capture your photos in the midst of a crowded that felt like there is no crowd. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the photoshoot. Highly recommend to engage him for some wonderful memories to keep into your photo album! :)

Kyoto Tour & Photoshoot? Just do it!

Ashley_O, Apr 2023

Our photoshoot with Soma was amazing! He took some amazing photos for us, portraits and pictures of as a couple, with cool backdrops that Kyoto in cherry blossom season had to offer. By the time we were done, we felt like we'd also gotten an ninsider tour of Kyoto's temples and backstreets as we made our way to different locations.
