The wonderful photo experience in Kyoto

5.00This photoshoot in Kyoto became one of the most special memories of our trip. We truly loved everything — the beautiful kimono outfits, the studio atmosphere, and the outdoor session during cherry blossom season. The entire team was incredibly kind, professional, and supportive. What touched us the most was how dedicated everyone was. The team truly gave their all and made us feel comfortable and special throughout the whole experience. Even with nonstop rain during the outdoor session, they managed to create so many wonderful moments and amazing photos. We honestly didn’t expect to receive so many great shots despite the weather. The photos and videos exceeded all our expectations and captured memories we will treasure forever. 100 out of 10 — highly recommended!
One of the most fun, memorable experiences. And I’ve got the pictures to prove it!! 😊

5.00Visiting Osaka, first trip to Japan and decided to take a day trip to Kyoto. Signed up for the studio photo shoot and add on outdoor option. I’m not someone that loves getting pictures taken or is all that photogenic but this seemed like such a special keepsake for my visit. The team were pros and got me relaxed and smiling (even laughing sometimes!) and my pictures came out beautifully. The process of them getting you picture ready was worth the experience by itself!! Absolutely recommend this experience and this photo team in particular…you will not regret it!!
A Dream Come True in Kyoto – Absolute 5-Star Experience!

5.00This is a 💯 must do in Kyoto, my son rated the kimono photo shoot experience as his #1 favorite experience of Kyoto, the photographers made him very comfortable, he got to pic his own kimono and he savored feeling like a samurai warrior by using the 🗡️ as a prop, the pictures are videos were beyond stunning and the best value of 💵 i ever spent on a photoshoot 🙌. We got inside photoshoot and outside during cherry blossom season ( April 2026). One thing to note is you have to download the pics on a laptop because the zip file is too large to load on the phone. I have a MacBook and iPhone so for me the process was seamless once I figured it out.
Amazing photographer, studio, location and chase points!

5.00We had an amazing experience for this photoshoot with Satsuki. We were able to book this using our chase sapphire reserve points. The ad from viator didn’t look great, but when we saw photos from some of the reviewers we knew that’s what we wanted. The photoshoot was very professional. One person to dress us in the layers and layers of high quality Kimonos. Satsuki as photographer and her assistant helping. The studio itself was beautiful and located right in the heart of gion. The sign on their studio says “petit wedding”. We loved the photos and everything felt high quality. Some tips for future visitors. Because we booked through Chase she had trouble contacting us before hand. She tried WhatsApp and viator but couldn’t reach my wife. So be on the lookout for messages so that she can get your preferences for hairstyle etc beforehand. Also the app wouldn’t let us book for our teenage son, for some reason the options are child up to age 12 then adult starting at age 20 then it asks for passport verification. So we had to book 3 people instead of 4 and just paid the difference later which wasn’t a problem. Also it says 1.5hrs but that’s for each person so if you want the full experience you should think 4-6 hours so you are not rushed and can do outdoor shots also. We are still very happy with our photos and definitely recommend you try them!!

Highly Recommended Kyoto Photoshoot

5.00We had such a wonderful experience doing our photoshoot in Kyoto with Satsuki and her team. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional and guided us through the entire process, making everything feel easy and seamless. From the makeup and clothing to the posing, her team assisted us every step of the way so we didn’t have to worry about anything except smiling and enjoying the moment. What we appreciated the most was how natural everything felt. There was never any pressure, and the whole experience was relaxed and enjoyable. Our child was especially happy, and you can really see the ease and genuine joy in his smile in the photos. We’re so grateful to Satsuki and her team for making this such a memorable experience for our family. It was truly special, and we would absolutely love to work with them again in the future. ✨📸
