You will be receiving 40 high-resolution, fully edited photos.
You will receive all unedited photos, over 200, for you to use freely!
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.
After the shooting, I will edit for you 40 high-quality pictures and I will deliver them to you within a week.
Flexible Cancelation Policy: get a full refund if you cancel 1 week (7 days) before the day of the shooting.

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!
Mina is a very friendly person in addition to being professional, he gives very good indications on the poses to take and gives interesting anecdotes. I recommend to book a shoot with him.
