Kimono Photoshoot In Arashiyama Bamboo Forest (Kyoto) by Professional Photographer
Let’s visit Arashiyama together and get amazing pictures!
This photoshoot will last around 1 hour and we will meet at Arashiyama station first (Randen Line).
We will explore together 4 main spots that are listed below:
- Kimono Forest
- Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
- Nonomiya Temple
- Togetsu-kyo Bridge
About photos:
You will be receiving 40 high-resolution, fully edited photos.
You will receive all unedited photos, over 200, for you to use freely!
I will start to take some pictures of you in the Kimono Forest and I will give you some cultural explanation about Arashiyama in general. This should take around 10 minutes.
After that, we will go to the bamboo grove which is the main photo spot of the day. I will take you to spots not visited by tourists so we can take great pictures. The session here should take around 30 minutes.
To finish this photoshoot in Arashiyama, I will explore Nonomiya Temple(20 minutes) together and finish at Togetsu-kyo Bridge. Both places are very photogenic!
This photoshoot is recommended for all kinds of travelers: solo travelers, couples, or families with kids.
If you are traveling as a couple, I can also arrange for you a proposal photoshoot. Just let me know after you book the experience.
At the end of the tour, I will also recommend some nice places to have a coffee or dinner in Arashiyama. I visit this area very often so I know a lot of hidden gems!
After the shooting session, I will provide at least 40 edited high-quality pictures that are ready to be shared on Social Media or printed.
I highly recommend getting a kimono for this experience but you don’t have to. If you want to rent a kimono, I can recommend great kimono rental shops that I used to work with. They have beautiful products for both women and men.
I look forward to seeing you in Arashiyama!
Flexible Cancelation Policy: get a full refund if you cancel 1 week (7 days) before the day of the shooting.
Available Booking Time: 7am to 5pm.

Very friendly. Pre-trip coordination was good in terms of responsiveness and understanding the needs/ purpose of the shoot. MM was also clear with his instructions and thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He would let us do check the photos after taking and he was open to listening to what poses/views we want. Overall, good experience! Additional kudos for going the extra mile to help purchase flowers 🙂
My photographer MM was wonderful. Not only was he charismatic, he was very artful in his craft. In between shot locations, he spent time educating me about the culture, food, and language. Super friendly and positive experience. Would definitely book another one again!
MM is a charming and talented photographer. He made us feel at ease, shared his cakes with us, and captured beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!! My only regret is that we did not get to go to Osaka and party with him and a longer photo shoot lol. However that means we get to plan another trip to Japan and this time we will not be confined to one area but capture the entire trip. We love our photo catalogue of Kyoto. Thank you MM! Bravo!
