Three Things

  1. Coo also works as a national licensed tour guide 🇯🇵 and weather forecaster☀️☔️ - he can suggest not only the best timing and hidden places to capture beautiful light, cherry blossoms🌸 and autumn leaves🍁, but also nice restaurants and iconic locations to go. Yurika worked as a school teacher 🧑‍🏫and she likes to play with kids and is good at communicating with small children. We also send our clients a list of recommended places, and we always try to deliver as many photos as possible beyond the guaranteed number 📸😊
  2. We really love organic whole bean coffee ☕️ and organic dark bitter chocolate 🍫 We’re always so happy because many of our clients bring us a lot of coffee and dark bitter chocolate from their home countries ! It means a lot to us ! 😊🙏
  3. We are a couple who have been together since high school (at 17 years old) , we got married in 2018 (10th anniversary at 26 years old💍😊) We relocated to the countryside during the COVID-19 pandemic and have been renovating a traditional house that is over 100 years old ourselves. We also keep bees🐝 and chickens🐓 on a small scale, and in our garden we grow fruits like blueberries🫐, grapes🍇, and peaches🍑. Because of this, we often need to travel 3–4 hours or stay overnight for photo sessions, so we kindly ask for a travel fee of $95🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️

Huge thank you to Coo for creating such an amazing experience for us. Coo is an amazing photographer and tour guide. Coo was very friendly and great with communication and even let us know in advance if we would like to reschedule due to weather, and I am so glad we did because we were able to take amazing photos and have great casual conversation while also being taught a little about Kyoto and the location that our photoshoot was at.

Coo was Very easy to work with. They made us feel very comfortable. They was very flexible about the location- brainstorming pros and cons and really tailoring it to our goals. Didn't feel rushed. Pics have come out beautiful. They suggested the frames for the perfect shots.

We had a wonderful experience with Coo for our family photo session in Kyoto! From the start, communication was excellent, and he even shared great recommendations for local restaurants and shops that made our trip even better. During the session, Coo was friendly, patient, and made everyone feel at ease. He listened to what we wanted, never made us feel rushed, and guided us to beautiful locations while keeping everything relaxed and efficient. The turnaround time was incredibly fast, and we absolutely love the photos. They perfectly captured our family’s time in Kyoto, and we’ll treasure them for years to come. If you’re looking for a photographer in Kyoto, we highly recommend Coo!
