Fiona & James from UK🇬🇧
Our 1-hour photoshoot in Kyoto this April with Wasao was nothing short of magical. From the moment we met, his warm energy and calming presence put us at ease. The atmosphere that day was serene, filled with soft spring air and a sense of excitement that only Kyoto in cherry blossom season can bring.
Wasao’s passion for photography and deep knowledge of the city truly elevated the entire experience. As a local expert, he guided us to hidden gems away from the typical tourist crowds—quiet backstreets, peaceful riverbanks, and tucked-away spots where the cherry blossoms bloomed in full glory.
He has a gift for capturing not just poses, but emotions—the candid laughs, the subtle glances, and those beautiful in-between moments that you don’t realize you’ll treasure until later.
What made this experience even more special was Wasao himself. His positive energy made us feel like we were simply enjoying a walk through Kyoto with a close friend who happened to be a brilliant photographer. His direction was gentle and natural, making the whole session feel effortless and fun.
If you’re looking to capture the true spirit of Kyoto, especially during cherry blossom season, we cannot recommend Wasao enough.

“We had a 1 hour photoshoot with Wasao on our honeymoon trip to Kyoto last December. Wasao is extremely friendly and it was easy to work with him from the first time I messaged Wasao to our photoshoot. Aside from Wasao’s excellent English abilities, Wasao’s carefree personality and focus on taking natural shots really helped my husband and I relax during the photoshoot. I was a bit worried about my husband taking photo together because he is camera shy but it was absolutely no problem!! Also, he knows Kyoto very well so if you want to avoid popular sightseeing spots but still look for Kyoto vibe, this would be the best choice for sure ☺️ He will support you finding the best place and time!
The result are photos that capture the happiness from our trip. Alex and I love the photos so much! 🥰 Seeing them fills us with so many happy feelings and good memories. We’re so lucky to have you as our honeymoon photographer!We would highly recommend Wasao!”

Aaron & Yuna from Hong Kong🇭🇰
We are a couple from Hong Kong and did Kyoto vibe in the city casual pre-wedding shooting, which we really enjoy the time with Wasao. At the beginning, we hesitated to find a Japanese photographer in consideration of communication and Wasao definitely can communicate in English fluently 🥰
I have to say he is very good at guiding us to express our natural behaviour during the photo shooting, It turns out our personal characteristics incorporated in the photos.
Also, he knows Kyoto very well and the best timing for every beauty spot to avoid the crowd and capture the most beautiful moment!
