2. Osaka 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 CR, 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!
