Absolutely loved my Osaka photoshoot with Yuta! ❤️ Yuta is genuinely so sweet and makes you feel incredibly comfortable, especially if, like me, this is your first time doing a professional photoshoot. What impressed me most was how he managed to get such beautiful shots even in the busiest, most crowded areas of Osaka, without random people in the background. His eye for finding the perfect angles and moments is amazing! And the best part? He captures some of your loveliest moments without you even realising it. He also went beyond just photography by giving me a little tour around the area and sharing some lovely local food recommendations. It felt more like exploring Osaka with a friend than just having a photoshoot Thank you, Yuta, for making this such a fun, comfortable and memorable experience. I’m so happy I did this. Highly recommend him if you’re visiting Osaka! ❤️

Yuta is amazing guy, very kindly. I can enjoy the photo tour thanks to him. Recommend him 100 %! Thank you so everything Yuta!
Yuta was fabulous. Amazing guide and Photographer. Great value for money
We had a wonderful photoshoot with Yuta in Osaka! He was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience fun and comfortable. He guided us well throughout the session and knew the best spots for great photos. On top of that, he even recommended some amazing local food spots around Osaka, which we really appreciated. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a talented photographer and a great local guide!
It was a really good experience! English was super good and he took us to spots we never would have seen if it wasn’t for him. He was able to go with the flow and was really flexible with our request. Fue una experiencia muy buena! Su inglés era excelente y nos llevó a lugares que probablemente nunca hubiéramos conocido sin él. También supo adaptarse muy bien a lo que queríamos y fue muy flexible con nuestras peticiones.
We had the most amazing couples photo shoot experience! The photographer made us feel so comfortable and captured our relationship so naturally. The photos turned out beautiful, and we’ll treasure them for years to come. Highly recommend!
Did an amazing tour with Yuta! He showed me several unique areas that really captured the heart of Osaka. From bright lights to dimly lit moody alleys it was the perfect shoot! 10/10 if you want a hassle free photography experience in Osaka iconic locations

Yuta was an incredible guide and photographer! He showed us a ton of great spots that we ended up visiting after the tour. I cannot recommend him enough.
Yuta was great! Such a fun experience and beautiful photos to remember the trip by. Would book him again!
Yuta was wonderful!! He gave us a beautiful photo tour, he is the best!!
Amazing and good spots and photos
We loved our photo tour with Yuta, he was very friendly and an awesome photographer. He told us some stories about Osaka while also taking the best pictures ever. We wish we could have taken him with us for the rest of our stay in Japan. Highly recommend to take the phototour with him, you will not regret it.
I had a lot of fun shooting with Yuta. A lot of nice place and food recommendations on top of great photo shoots,
We had a great time and got to see some special places through a local's insight. The photographer was very kind and took great pictures!
Great experience, photographer was friendly and made me feel comfortable posing for the camera in a public area. Also made some edits as requested.
The day of this was a great experience. Unfortunately, after the fact I either missed or never received the product of the photo shoot. I've tried reaching out to this vendor via the email provided but I haven't gotten a response. Happy to revise my review if that changes, but if you go maybe ask that he take some photos with your phone or your own camera so you can make sure you leave the day of with pictures.
Yuta is a very skilled photographer. I was hesitant to even book this because I’m not one to like my photo taken, but he has convinced me that it’s something I should start doing more. He really has a talent for getting the best lighting and highlighting your features so if you want to show off on IG, definitely book him!!
Takuma is a very friendly photographer. He greeted us warmly and helped us get relaxed before taking photos. We went to multiple spots capturing most of the iconic Osaka vibe. He gave us good instruction on posing too. It was a great experience with Takuma.
The photographer was very helpful with our poses, the spots he chose was good, very communicative, can speak english well (very helpful), explained a bit about Osaka which was nice. Most importantly, the pictures turned out great. Would recommend 👍🏽
My wife and I did a couples shoot with Yuta in Osaka! His work is AMAZING and he gave us GREAT local recommendations! 10/10 highly recommend.
Yuta is friendly and professional. My family had a great time! We would recommend travelers to take this experience as well.
I had an amazing night photo tour in Dotonbori, Osaka with Yuta! The experience was absolutely unforgettable. He knew all the best spots to capture the vibrant lights and atmosphere of the city, and made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully. They perfectly capture the energy and magic of Dotonbori at night. I especially appreciated his attention to detail, creative angles, and how effortlessly he guided me through each shot. If you’re visiting Osaka and want stunning night portraits or street photography memories, I highly recommend booking with Yuta! It’s an experience you’ll treasure forever.
Yuta is an excellent photographer! He took a huge variety of shots in multiple locations. The guided walk with him feels like a comfortable casual walk with a friend. Highly recommend!
Had an amazing experience with Yuta! He took incredible photos, was very easy to talk to, and made the whole tour really enjoyable. As a first-timer doing a photo shoot, it was even better than I expected and a lot of fun. Highly recommend!
Mina was an amazing guide aside from the amazing pictures he took me on a mini tour around he even gave me tips what to try around specially food way beyond his job his so passionate and kind kudos for taking an extra mile it was fun chatting with him and all the pictures he took was amazing I can't choose which one to keep and edit. Definitely 💯 recommended for a memorable Osaka trip. Looking forward to coming back again soon Big thanks to you
We had such a wonderful time with Takuma. He was friendly, patient and professional. The pictures we took were perfect. If you are feeling shy or not used to a professional photographer, Takuma will take care of you. I cannot recommend him enough.
I had an amazing session with Takuma-san! He’s an incredibly talented photographer who made me feel completely at ease throughout the shoot. His professional yet relaxed approach helped me shake off any shyness, and I felt comfortable and confident the whole time. Highly recommend!
I recently joined a solo photography tour in Osaka with the incredibly talented Takuma, and it was an amazing experience! Takuma is not only a skilled photographer but also deeply passionate about showcasing the beauty of Osaka. The tour was well-planned, taking me to some of the most picturesque spots in the city, including hidden gems known only to locals. It was a personal photo shoot, with Takuma taking my pictures at various beautiful locations. Takuma’s expertise was evident as he provided invaluable tips and techniques, guiding me through best poses to capture stunning shots. What made the tour even more special was the small little conversation I was having with him regarding various things like Japanese culture, culture shocks, etc. He was patient, approachable, and always ready to assist, ensuring I could make the most of the experience. I highly recommend this photography tour to anyone visiting Osaka. It’s a perfect blend of sightseeing and learning, and you’ll walk away with beautiful photos and wonderful memories. Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you, Takuma, for an amazing experience!
As a frequent solo traveler, I make it a point to book photoshoots to capture memories of my travels. Upon meeting Mina, he was extremely friendly and personable. He not only took great photos of me, but he also gave me a ton of recommendations along the way for food, places to go, and things to see...including some cool speakeasies! He even made recommendations for places in Kyoto and Tokyo, the other 2 cities I was visiting in Japan. He takes a large number of photos, which really gives you options to choose from. I am a huge fan of his work. The photos I included are prior to editing...and I still love them. Highly recommend booking with Mina!
You could have a tour guide and and an expert photographer in the same time. Marco is hilarious and talented. I would recommend if you come to osaka especially if you are alone like me and want to capture some memories in osaka you have to check this program out.
Marco and Soma are amazing! They contacted us shortly after booking with very clear instructions. Marco was extremely kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. He not only took amazing professional photos (which were quickly provided to use via google drive), but he also taught us a lot about the history of Osaka and Dotonbori. Would highly recommend this tour and any other tours offered by Soma and Marco!
A lot of empathy helped us a lot, he was very kind to us, and thank you very much for all the photos and congratulations
He was friendly and professional. The price was excellent and the results were not yet received, but I was satisfied with just seeing it for a while. A person who knows Osaka well went with a lot of familiar tips and good spots and took photos and it was fun and useful. It was a new pleasant experience, and if there's another chance, I'll have a pleasant feeling of wanting to do it again.
It was so unique. Thank you for allowing us to share this moment. The photos are beautiful , we regretted last year not having done it and this time it is perfect 😍😍😍
Despite a catastrophic start and 50 minutes late, Mina made up for it excellently by offering us an extra session the next day at no cost. Photo poses a little repetitive but very well chosen spots, we return to France with very nice edited photos, in number. Results beyond expectations due to the extra session. Thank you.
