Price is the same for all location shoots, but in case you want to do multiple locations, make sure to choose a plan with enough time. Contact me and we can plan this together!

• Fushimi-inari: It is a Shinto shrine located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. It is famous for its thousands of vermilion (red/orange) torii gates that lead up to the sacred Mount Inari.

• Philosopher’s path: It is a pleasant walking path through the northern part of Kyoto’s Higashiyama district. The path follows a canal which is lined by hundreds of cherry trees. On the path there are multiple temples and shrines that are also worth visiting.

• Nanzen-ji Aqueduct: Suirokaku Aqueduct just outside Nanzen-ji temple is a very famous and popular photo spot, a Western-style aqueduct that cuts through the grounds of Nanzen-ji temple. Nearby it’s easy to walk to the Philosophers path or Keage Incline also.

• Other locations also possible! Just ask me for recommendations or if you got a specific place in mind.
