Due to the large volume of our data, photos will only be saved on our online drive for two weeks before being deleted. Please inform the photographer during the photoshoot if you require a longer storage period. Restoring the hard drive after the online drive data is deleted after one month will incur a fee of JPY 16,000.
Gion is not just one street, but a large area. We recommend researching the specific areas you'd like to photograph in advance and informing the photographer a couple of days before the shoot. The photographer will then let you know the actual situation, such as whether photography is prohibited in that area. For example, Yasaka Shrine, Maruyama Park, and the block in front of Yasaka Shrine are all within the Gion area. (The photographer will confirm with you whether you want to shoot in these areas because many customers like these areas. We also recommend them based on previous summaries and shoots, but we never force anyone to shoot in certain areas. If time allows, our studio will try our best to meet everyone's requirements. However, some places are more crowded, which affects the quality of the photos, so the photographer will communicate with you in advance. We appreciate your understanding.)
Due to everyone's support, we've added two photographers this maple leaf season. As photography is also a demanding job, our photographers will take occasional leave during the off-season based on studio bookings. We appreciate your understanding if your designated photographer changes.
Please allow at least 1 to 1.5 hours for your kimono dressing appointment. Our packages do not have a limit on the number of people, but for reservations of 4 or more people, we recommend booking a 2-hour or longer photoshoot. The photographer will contact you the night before the shoot via WhatsApp or LINE to confirm the specific shooting time and other details for the next day. If you have not registered these apps with your contact number, please contact us in advance.
By default, booking 2 sets of services means 1 photographer will shoot for 2 hours. If you need 2 photographers to shoot for 1 hour simultaneously, please inform the photographer in advance.
The photo delivery format is JPG. If you require other formats, please inform the photographer before the shoot.
