My parents and I had a great time in Shirakawa-go with TK. To be honest, I had not been looking for a professional photo session when I booked this, but I am so glad I did. It was liberating not having to worry about taking pictures while strolling thru the village. Also, there was a light rain while we were there, but his pictures still came fantastic. TK knows the village very well (he was there 104 times in 2023!), so he knows all the best photo spots. I asked for a last-minute change in our start time and TK was very accommodating. He picked us up at our hotel in Takayama and dropped us back, which was very convenient. Highly recommend!

Not only were the views amazing but TK took INCREDIBLE photos. My jaw dropped when I opened them. Far beyond expectations! He was knowledgeable and patient with our slower crew of folks in their 70’s. Would highly recommend this experience! Thank you TK for the amazing photos.
