“I am extremely satisfied with today’s photoshoot. The photographer Miky is truly an artist, his eye for detail and creativity are exceptional. I loved all the photos even before editing, which says a lot about his talent. He knows all the most cinematic spots and captured them perfectly. On top of that, he is funny, easygoing, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer😍”

2.Your Private Vacation Photography Session In Kyoto

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 110 reviews

Plan a private Kyoto photo shoot with Satoshi, choosing locations such as Gion, Yasaka Shrine, Arashiyama, or Fushimi Inari. In about 1 to 1.5 hours, he guides your poses, shares local history and culture, and delivers around 50 edited photos. It suits couples, families, solo visitors, proposals, and kimono portraits.

“Satoshi did a great job. Our original date of booking was rained out and Satoshi communicated well and was very flexible. Allowed us to move to a different date and recommend a great spot for Kimono rentals and pictures. Got them back a day later and they were amazing. Would highly recommend this if your family wants some memorable photos.”
