¡Excelente experiencia con Yoshi! Pudimos reservar una sesión de fotos familiar de último momento en Kioto para celebrar los quince años de mi hija, quien lució un hermoso vestido de quinceañera. El fotógrafo fue muy amable, puntual y profesional, con comunicación rápida y excelente en español e inglés. También nos recomendó lugares increíbles para capturar la esencia de la cultura japonesa. Recomiendo reservar temprano por la mañana para evitar las multitudes y respetar a los residentes locales. ¡Súper recomendado para crear recuerdos inolvidables en Japón! ❤️📸

Easily the best family photographer we have worked with! We book family photos at least once a year on family trips. Yoshi made us all so comfortable and was meticulous in making sure everyone was in the right position and our clothes/hair were set. Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience with Yoshi for our engagement photos in Kyoto! It was our first time ever doing a professional photo shoot, and we were a little nervous going in, but Yoshi made us feel completely at ease. He was so patient and kind, gave us easy direction on how to pose, and never made us feel rushed or awkward.

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. He captured us so naturally against Kyoto's stunning backdrops, and we're going to treasure these pictures forever. If you're thinking about booking a photographer in Kyoto, especially if you're new to being in front of the camera, we can't recommend Yoshi enough. Thank you, Yoshi!

Kyoto family photo is amazing! Yoshi did an amazing job capturing my family of 5, with twin two year olds I didn’t think we’d get many if any good ones and he was able to capture their best moments and I will always cherish these photos and our time spent in Kyoto! Thank you Yoshi!!

I booked a couples photo session with Yoshi a couple of months ago from the USA. His communication from the very beginning was stellar and explained exactly what the process of the photoshoot would be.

On the day of our photoshoot, Yoshi provided an amazing session! He was super friendly, communicative, and professional! He gave us ideas as well! I highly recommend booking your session with Yoshi. Thank you again for the amazing work!!

We had a family photo session at Osaka Castle with Yoshi. He was on time, patient and very responsive to all my questions.

We are so happy with the photos he captured. They are clear and are such a wonderful memory of our special holiday in Japan with our young children.

Thank you, Yoshi!

We did a family shoot with Yoshi at Fushimi Inari and we couldn’t have had a better experience. Yoshi was very kind and professional and was able to get some beautiful shots of our 3-year-old son, which is not easy to do. Our photos from the session will be cherished for many years to come. Would recommend using Yoshi’s services if looking for a photographer in the Kyoto area.

We had such a wonderful experience with Yoshi in Kyoto! He was very easy to communicate with, professional, and had such a warm and friendly manner.

What impressed me the most was how patient and kind he was with my 3-year-old. Taking photos with a toddler isn’t always easy, but Yoshi made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.

We absolutely loved working with him and would highly recommend Yoshi to anyone looking for a photographer in Kyoto!

We had a great experience with Yoshi taking our photos around the old traditional streets of Gion. He was really friendly and easy to get along with, which made the whole shoot feel relaxed rather than awkward or overly staged.

What we really appreciated was that Yoshi wasn’t just watching the clock. He actually spent a little longer with us than scheduled so he could capture a few more moments and locations, which he absolutely didn’t have to do.

You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and wants you to come away with something special from your time in Kyoto. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer here.

We had such a wonderful experience with Yoshi in Kyoto! He was warm, professional, patient, and made our entire family feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. He has an incredible eye for capturing both the beauty of Kyoto and the natural moments between us.

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and feel like such a special memory of our time in Japan. Yoshi was also fantastic with the kids, which made the experience relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.

We are so grateful we found him and would highly recommend Yoshi to anyone looking for a talented photographer in Kyoto. Thank you, Yoshi, for giving our family such beautiful memories!

With gratitude 🙏
