Just book it- you will be SO glad you did!

We had the most special experience during our photo session with Satoshi in Kyoto. We planned it as part of our anniversary celebration and couldn’t have been more happy with the process and the results! Satoshi was unbelievably easy to communicate with before the session and accommodated for it despite 35C that day! During our time together, he made us feel very comfortable and natural, allowing us to just be ourselves, while taking us to beautiful locations and setting up interesting angles and framing for our photos. All throughout the session he was showing us the shots to ensure we were happy. And the results are simply stunning! He really surprised us with just how many photos he captured and how quickly he shared them with us, allowing us to relive special time we had in Japan. He is an outstanding professional and artist but most of all- a really cool person we are glad to have crossed our paths with. Thank you Satoshi. 🙏

If you need a photographer in Kyoto, look no further, Satoshi is your guy! We’re so happy with our experience. He’s incredibly talented. Our photos turned out amazing.

We had a fantastic experience with Satoshi! He was so fun to work with and immediately put us at ease. He has an incredible eye for locations, taking us to some truly gorgeous spots around Kyoto that we never would have found on our own. The variety of photos we received was impressive, and the quality exceeded our expectations. He's both professional and a joy to be around!

I gifted my son a solo photoshoot with Satoshi in Osaka, this is his review:

"Satoshi does a great job of making you feel comfortable while taking photos, while also bringing you to many good spots. He allows for freedom in your poses and facial expressions, rather than telling you what to do. On top of that, he actively shows you the photos as soon as they are taken so you can get an idea of how to adjust your poses, positioning and facial expressions."

Satoshi was communicative, accommodative, polite, friendly, yet professional. Photos turnaround time was the next day, so my son was able to post them on social media while we were still in Japan! For parents who don't feel like to do a family photoshoot, I highly recommend you to schedule one for your kids, they will love you for that forever!

Our photography session in Kyoto was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip.

Our local photographer, Satoshi, was incredibly personable and warm, and he immediately put our group at ease. From the start, he created such a relaxed atmosphere that we found ourselves laughing naturally and genuinely enjoying every moment in front of the camera.

What made the experience even more special was his deep knowledge of the area. As first-timers in Japan, we appreciated walking through the historic streets and past beautiful shrines while he shared stories about the history, cultural traditions, and architectural details we absolutely would have missed on our own. It felt like we got the best of both worlds, a private tour and a talented photographer all in one.

Most importantly, he captured our group in a way that felt authentic. The photos weren’t stiff or overly staged; they truly reflected the joy, connection, and excitement we felt about being in such a special place.

If you’re visiting Kyoto and considering a photography session, I can’t recommend working with Satoshi enough. It was so much more than a photo shoot, it became one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences of our trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful family photo session in Kyoto with Satoshi and couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the very beginning, his communication was excellent—he reached out in advance, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure he understood what we were hoping for before the day of the shoot.

During the session itself, Satoshi was fantastic with our kids (ages 10, 8, and 6). He was warm, patient, and personable, which immediately put everyone at ease and made the experience genuinely fun rather than stressful. He chose beautiful locations and showed real expertise by pivoting seamlessly when certain spots were too crowded, always finding quieter, equally stunning alternatives.

What really stood out was how well he listened. He took our feedback seriously, incorporated our specific requests, and balanced them perfectly with his own creative judgment. The result was a relaxed, enjoyable experience and photos that truly reflect our family and our time in Kyoto.

All around, this was a great experience from start to finish, and Satoshi was a huge part of what made it so special.
