Kawagoe, a charming old town just an hour from Tokyo, is perfect for those looking to experience Japanese culture and history, as well as enjoy shopping and delicious food. Explore hidden places accompanied by a professional Japanese photographer who speaks Spanish, who will take many photos of you.
Enjoy a private photo session, a truly magnificent area. I am a freelance photographer and I take portraits of families and business people. I have six years of experience, during which I have photographed more than 2,000 portraits. In addition, I am licensed as a professional Spanish-speaking guide. Forget selfies!
If you wish to attend in a kimono, please let me know at the time of request. You can choose from dozens of different kimonos in the colors and prints you like the most. The shopkeeper will help you get dressed. There are also kimonos for men. You don't need to bring anything as you can purchase everything (includes obi, sandals and bag).
