“ We met Masa for our photo shoot in Kyoto on April 14th. Masa is the best! We met at Philosopher's Path with some cherry blossoms still on the trees. We were fortunate that the weather held up and the lighting was excellent. Masa really has a great eye for finding good places and lighting to shoot for both posed and candid photos. We really enjoyed meeting Masa as he seems like a really good person and it was fun to talk to him about his family and his history. He really made us feel comfortable. We received the photos the very next day but didn't fully review them until we returned from our trip today. The photos are absolutely incredible! We were really impressed. Made for a great memory of our time in Kyoto. When we go back, we will definitely book Masa again for another photo shoot. We HIGHLY recommend Masa for any photo shoots in Kyoto. ”
“ Masa was a perfect match for our family photos! It was a 100% chance of rain on the day of our scheduled photoshoot -- Masa proactively reached out and asked if we could do it "today" or the day after. Luckily we were able to reschedule for later that evening and everything worked out! We received our photos the very next day and couldn't be happier. There were a lot of tourists in the area, but somehow, Masa was able to capture the perfect moments where our family was the focus. Masa was also great with my kids and also shared some tips for the area too. ”
“ Had a great photo session with Coo. He was very polite, easy to communicate with, had great suggestions before and during the session. This is my third time using flytographer and it’s always one of my favorite keepsakes. Worth it every time! ”
“ Absolutely Stunning Engagement Photos – Coo Exceeded All Our Expectations! My fiancé David and I booked Coo for our engagement photo session in Japan, and we were completely blown away by both the final photos and the entire experience. From the very beginning, Coo was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our shoot special. We initially chose him because his portfolio stood out—his work had a natural, romantic, and artistic quality that we loved. But what we didn’t expect was just how much he would go above and beyond to make our session perfect. During the planning phase, Coo was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. We really wanted sakura (cherry blossom) trees in our photos, and since it wasn’t peak season, he suggested shooting with Kawazu-zakura, an early-blooming variety. Not only did he secure a beautiful location, but he also gave us multiple options for backdrops and settings, helping us craft the exact vibe we wanted—youthful, romantic, and effortlessly elegant. On the day of the shoot, Coo arrived early, fully prepared and enthusiastic. Both my fiancé and I are naturally a bit shy in front of the camera, but Coo had such a warm and easygoing presence that we quickly felt at ease. He gave us gentle direction without making things feel stiff or posed, and his sense of humor helped us relax and enjoy the moment. By the end, we weren’t just taking photos—we were laughing, having fun, and truly savoring the experience. When we received the final images, we were speechless. Every shot was breathtaking—soft, dreamy, and full of emotion. Coo has an incredible eye for composition, lighting, and those little candid moments that make photos feel alive. He captured our connection in such a genuine way, and the sakura backdrop added the perfect touch of magic. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the photos turned out, with many saying they looked like they belonged in a magazine! If you’re looking for a photographer in Kyoto, Nara, or Tokyo, we couldn’t recommend Coo enough. Not only is he a true artist behind the lens, but he also makes the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. His passion for photography shines through in every detail, and we’re so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully. If we ever return to Japan, we’ll 100% be booking him again—thank you, Coo, for an unforgettable experience! ”
“ Coo was absolutely the best!! He was so wonderful and great to work with. We connected prior to the shoot to go over the details and it was flawless. Taking pictures of 6 adults and 8 kids is not an easy task but Coo was so great! He was patient and thoughtful of every picture and location. We are forever thankful to have these special memories and hope we can come back and have another session with Coo in the future. Thank you so much Coo!! ”
“ Coo was wonderful to work with! He communicated early and often to ensure we had an easy day. Our pictures were taken in Kyoto, which Coo and his wife lived. In addition to taking great pictures, he provided us with information about the city and restaurant recommendations! ”
“ Our photography session with Coo was wonderful! Coo was equally patient with our requests as he was quick and efficient in taking beautiful photos. We are so happy with our decision to work with Coo and have wonderful photo memories of our trip to Kyoto. ”
“ Coo was an excellent photographer! Took amazing pictures of my family! Was super great with my 1.5 year old son, making him smile and capturing great shots. We went to few locations and were able to get incredible photos! He spoke great English too which was extremely helpful! We love the way the photos came out and so did all Of our family. The whole Experience was a wonderful addition to our Japan trip and the memories will last a lifetime! Highly recommend! ”
“ We had a wonderful experience with Coo during our maternity shoot in Kyoto! He made both me and my husband feel completely at ease and guided us effortlessly through the session with such a calm and professional approach. He was incredibly patient, polite, and easy to work with. I didn’t know how to pose with a baby bump, but he gave just the right amount of direction to help me feel confident and comfortable. He also showed us the photos on his camera throughout the shoot, which was so reassuring and made the experience even more enjoyable. He has such a great eye for capturing beautiful, natural moments, taking us through the most gorgeous cherry blossom spots, and a Buddhist temple nearby. He also gave us great recommendations on where to eat and what to explore in the area. The photos were delivered quickly and turned out absolutely stunning! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional and thoughtful photographer in Japan. Thank you, Coo! We will cherish these photos forever!! ”
“ We highly recommend Coo & Yurika when looking for a photographer in Japan. They were a joy to work with and took beautiful photographs of our family. They are exactly what we wanted in a local photographer - an experienced professional who knows how to capture the unique beauty of locations. Coo communicates clearly and provided guidance on locations, shooting times, outfits, posing and more. His pre-shoot planning tips (with sample photos) were very helpful. We are grateful that he was also flexible enough to change our schedule to avoid crowds, as our shoot was during the sakura season. On the day of the shoot, he expertly guided us to several spots, and we got a variety of shots that highlight different aspects of Kyoto. His enthusiasm and calmness put us (including our toddler) at ease. In addition, their turnaround time was fantastic - they delivered an edited gallery faster than any other photographer we’ve worked it. The combination of his top of the line Sony GM lenses and processing/editing create a style of photos that we really appreciate. ”
“ Coo was an amazing photographer! He was extremely friendly and helpful with our photo shoot. ”
“ We had the most wonderful experience working with Coo for our photos in Kyoto! He really knew all the best spots for photos with the cherry blossoms even during a busy day and found us some truly beautiful spots away from the crowds. He was so responsive via messages and easy to work with, would highly recommend! If we are ever back in Japan we will definitely reach out again! ”
“ Yoshi was awesome. We love our photos. What an amazing trip!!! ”
“ We love our photos that Yoshi took! And we had so much fun shooting with him. It was crowded when we took our photos but with Yoshi’s photography skills, you wouldn’t know it; it looks like we had the place to ourselves! ”
“ Coo did an excellent job for us from start to finish. His English is first-rate and he was always prompt in responding via WhatsApp in the run to the photo shoot to plan a route that would manage bloom conditions and the weather. We agreed a contingency alternative route in advance the event of the preferred route not being in full blossom and we chose to execute that one which would still mix the weeping cherry trees with scenes from Kyoto. We really benefited from the fact that he shoots many photos in these locations as he knew exactly where and how to get the best shots in Murayama Park, and later in a way that helped to avoid the worst of the Kyoto tourist crowds as the morning wore on. On the delivery, we were also impressed with the turn-around on the photos. Two weeks would have been more than acceptable at this busy time of year but we had our photos uploaded for us to access within a week. After reviewing his other work online, we had every confidence that we would be getting top-quality results. Needless to say, we were not disappointed with some memorable sakura shots, many more than was required under the photo-shooting terms. In all aspects, Coo did a superlative job for us, and we would happily recommend him to any other else looking to capture the beauty of Kyoto at this, or any other time of year. ”
“ Coo did a fantastic job capturing memories from our family adventure to Japan! We were so impressed with the photos and will cherish them. I’m so glad we hired a photographer for our trip, helping us remember this time together. Coo met us perfectly on time and we toured around Kyoto to take photos at several beautiful locations. He returned our photos us quickly, and we have loved sharing them. I highly recommend Coo! ”
“ Coo deserves ten stars!!!!! I typically book a photographer when we travel because I’m tired of selfies. Coo is amazing! He is an artist and has an amazing point of view from behind the camera! His photos are magazine level of amazing but at the same time he is able to capture your personality too. He also does the perfect balance between close ups and long views. In addition to this he is a lovely person and friendly so it is quite easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. I’d book Coo again and take him around the world with me if I could! ”
