This tour will last around 1 hour and we will visit both famous spots but also hidden gems in Higashiyama. I will drop you off at the famous Kyoto-style Starbucks in case you want to get a coffee there.
Please also note that this is the usual itinerary but let me know if you want to change it slightly to visit a specific place or to take a specific picture.
Any type of traveler is welcome to try this photo experience. I work with solo travelers, couples, and also families.
This photo session doesn’t include Kimono rental fees but I can recommend a few rental shops in Higashiyama that I used to work with. I know the best ones with beautiful kimonos at affordable prices.

I had the opportunity to visit Kyoto on my recent visit to Japan. And I was able to do a photo session with Mina. He was very patient, fun and gave good tips on how to pose. My overall experience was great. Mina captured so many great photos and he took me to many great spots. I’m happy that I was able to do this photo session and add to my experience of Kyoto. I would definitely recommend it and do it again.
We had a fantastic experience working with Josh for our photography session! He did an amazing job finding beautiful locations and guiding us through posing in a way that made us look our best. Josh was super attentive—he checked in often, showed us the shots as we went, and made sure we were happy with everything. The final photos turned out absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with how they came out. As a bonus, he also gave us some great local recommendations to check out after the shoot. Highly recommend working with Josh if you’re looking for a professional, personable, and talented photographer!
I had an amazing outdoor photography session with Mina even though the weather didn’t cooperate! Despite the rain, he managed to turn the situation into an advantage, capturing stunning, atmospheric photos that exceeded all my expectations.
Mina was incredibly patient and creative, guiding me on how to pose and making me feel completely at ease throughout the session.
I highly recommend Mina to anyone looking for a skilled, friendly, and talented photographer. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience—I’ll treasure these photos forever!
