Want to have a photoshoot of your own? Feel fabulous and model-like while touring, eating, and shopping? Then book this photography tour with TK! If you want amazing photos in awesome Shirakawa-go and Kanazawa, then you have to book with TK Photography. You’ll bring home great memories of these beautiful historic places and have awesome photos (of you!) to show around. Had my solo trip for 3 days and booked TK Photography for 2 days. I am not a model and got conscious about the shoot but TK made it fun and comfortable for me. I learned that people and event photography has been TK’s career and he specialises in engagements and weddings. Being a professional photographer, I guess you could make the trip as friendly or as professional as you want. With all the little stories we shared along the ride, it was like meeting an old friend who was happy to show me around his hometown. And a friend who happens to love taking your photo!

This tour was absolutely worth it! I always look for something a bit different to do than the usual tourist stuff, and having my own professional photographer guide me around beautiful Kanazawa ticked all the boxes! It was a great way to see almost everything in one go, and having an English speaking guide really helped me appreciate the sights more. But the best bit was the photos. TK is incredibly professional and took stunning shots (I'm not usually photogenic at all!), but also helped me learn a bit more about taking my own photos for the future. Japan is a bit expensive in general, but I found this to be pretty good value for money considering all the inclusions. Thank you so much for showing me your city. I really loved our time together. And the photos made the perfect gifts when I returned!

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.
