We had a great time with...

Published on Mar, 2025

We had a great time with Takuma. He was so much fun to be with. Our group was pressed for time with a train trip and he worked quickly to take lots of photos in different locations while still making it fun. I can't wait to see how the photos turned out!

Great time in Kyoto
