2. Retro Photoshoot

Instead of just doing a normal photoshoot, why not go for a retro-themed one? Osaka is the perfect place to do this as they have plenty of neighborhoods with that quirky vintage feel. However, many of these neighborhoods are actually “hidden” from most tourist itineraries! That’s why you need a local like our photographer Chris, to take you to these places as well as take incredible photos of you.

In this photoshoot, you’ll explore the Nakazakicho and Tenma neighborhoods. Both are oozing with vintage vibes, showcasing old houses and quirky commercial establishments. Here you’re guaranteed to get another side of Osaka!

And finally, we have one more Osaka photoshoot that you can’t miss. Our last photoshoot takes us back to Dotonbori, this time to explore all of the different streets, temples, and even hidden spots you can find here. After all, Dotonbori is known for being one of the most exciting and dynamic spots in Osaka for a reason!

Here you’ll explore Glico Sign, Dotonbori Street, Houzenji Temple, a mysterious place known as the “Hidden Spot,” and more! These places best capture the flair of Osaka nightlife. While your local photographer Mina knows all the best places in town, you can also ask them to take you to a particular place if you want. These itineraries are very flexible! After your photoshoot, you can enjoy some mouthwatering restaurants all in the same area. We can’t think of a better way to explore Osaka!
