Itinerary

  • Higashi Chaya District

    Chaya is a traditional place of feasts and entertainment, where Japan’s famous geishas have been entertaining people through dances and playing traditional musical instruments since the Edo period. Higashiyama is the biggest chaya district in Kanazawa, and provides the opportunity for a glimpse into Japan’s rich cultural past. We will have a photo shoot session in the area

    1 hour

  • Ochaya Shima

    Optional: Shima is a historical geisha house in the Higashi Chaya-gai district of Kanazawa. The building is now a museum and gives visitors a look at the life of the geisha who once entertained here.

    15 minutes

  • Kazuemachi Chayagai

    Adjacent to Higashiyama chaya district, Kazuemachi offers the experience of traditional places of entertainment and dining in a uniquely Japanese setting, but is less crowded compared with the more famous Higashiyama. Ideal location for photo shoots.

    20 minutes

  • Kenrokuen Garden

    Kenrokuen is justifiably classified as one of Japan's ‘three most beautiful landscape gardens’. The spacious grounds used to be the outer garden of Kanazawa Castle, constructed by the ruling Maeda family over a period of nearly two centuries. Opened to the public in 1871, Kenrokuen features a variety of flowering trees which provide the garden with different aspects and features depending on the season. My personal favourite is Spring, but Nno matter what time of year, you won’t want to miss a visit to this magnificent, quintessential Japanese garden. You cannot miss a photo session here. It is a must do!

    1 hour

  • Kanazawa Castle

    Kanazawa Castle was the seat of the Maeda Clan’s power over the Kaga Domain in Edo period Japan. The castle's thick outer walls still stand ranked and angled like a massive ziggurat. Visit to my favourite part of the castle – Ishikawamon Gate – to round out your visit. We will have photo shoot session.

    15 minutes

  • Kaga

    We will pick you up/drop off in Komatsu/Kaga area.

Kanazawa Private Photoshoot

Published on Apr, 2025

TK was fantastic! He accommodated a last minute booking for us and made our time in Kanazawa so special. The photographs he took were stunning and he was able to find the best shots in even the most crowded spaces. Along with the great photographs, TK was also a knowledgeable tour guide having grown up in the area and he provided meaningful insights and history.

Incredible Session!

Published on Apr, 2025

We loved the Photography session with TK! He showed us around Kanazawa and told us the history of some of the places we were photographed at. It was a fun session and the picture are incredible!

Great way to see Kanazawa!

Published on Mar, 2025

TK was prompt and welcoming! Nice balance of tour guide and photography. So thankful for the experience and to get to know Kanazawa from someone so knowledgeable about the area. I was a bit nervous booking since I was traveling alone but immediately felt comfortable and he captured great moments!

Knows all the good spots!

Published on Feb, 2025

I couldn’t be more thrilled with the photos from my proposal, and I have TK to thank for it! From the very first moment we connected, TK was professional, friendly, and extremely attentive to every detail. TK perfectly captured the magic of the moment with such beautiful, candid shots that truly tell the story of that day. The way TK made us feel comfortable and at ease was incredible – we hardly even noticed the camera. The quality of the photos is outstanding, and I’ve had so many compliments from friends and family who have seen them. Every shot looks like it came straight out of a dream. If you're looking for someone who not only knows how to capture beautiful moments but also makes the whole experience fun and unforgettable, I highly recommend TK! Thank you for making our day even more special!

Most memorable part of our trip!

Published on Jan, 2025

We wanted to capture our trip to Kanazawa and what a better way to do it than booking a photography tour. TK was very kind and easy to work with - he picked us up from our hotel and was highly knowledgeable about the tea district, the gardens, as well as the castle. He braved the cold and snow alongside us and I would love to come back and book him again in the spring or fall when there is more foliage in bloom. Thank you for making our trip so memorable, TK!
