Your professional photographer will guide you through the timeless beauty of Shinjuku Gyoen’s Japanese garden, where history, culture, and nature come together in perfect harmony. Gentle pathways, elegant ponds, and carefully crafted landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments.
Whether you’re a couple celebrating your love, a family traveling with children, or friends marking a special trip together, this private photo session is designed for you. It’s also ideal for once-in-a-lifetime occasions such as birthdays, proposals, or honeymoon memories.
You’ll receive over 30 fully retouched photos (often many more), creating a lasting keepsake of your time in Japan—something to treasure long after your trip.
The garden is reserved exclusively for your photo session, with no tourists or other groups inside. Only your team and occasional garden staff may be present.

What to expect
This photoshoot experience takes place inside Shinjuku Gyoen during non-public hours. After booking, we will contact you via WhatsApp. If you have any preferred photo style, mood, or sample images, you can share them in advance. We will also explain important guidelines for shooting inside the garden.
On the day of the session, you will meet at the special management gate used during closed hours. After entering the garden, we will begin shooting mainly around the Upper Pond area, which is the central part of the Japanese garden area in Shinjuku Gyoen. The photographer will guide you through several photo spots during the session.
After the photoshoot, each image will be carefully edited and delivered via Google Photos within 10 days. A minimum of 30 edited photos will be delivered, and we usually provide more depending on the session.
