We offer photography services to tourists visiting Japan, at popular tourist locations. We can take you on walks around various locations and take photos of you experiencing the wonders of Japan.

We will check the weather forecast from three days before the shoot and discuss changing the date if bad weather is predicted. There is no change fee if the date is changed. The photographer will make a judgment about the weather on the day by 8am and may discuss the matter with you.

If you are unwell on the day, we will reschedule the appointment. If you wish to change the date, there will be no change fee, so please contact us by 8am. Please note that deposits are non-refundable.

We mainly shoot in Tokyo and Yokohama. Contact us if you have a special request.

Please make a payment within one week of the photoshoot. Payment should be made using a Square Payments link provided to you (Credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay etc.)

Note that the data will be delivered only after we have confirmed the payment.

If you would like to shoot within shrine or temple grounds, please contact us.

Japan has strict rules about photography on private property. Many shrines and temples prohibit commercial photography, so please be sure to check in advance.

We will attempt to obtain permission in advance, but this may not be possible, particularly during the spring Sakura season.

We generally prefer to make minor edits to photos, but advanced edits are possible for an extra fee of 1000 yen per photograph.

Japan has strict laws regarding the clients portrait rights. Clients retain all portrait rights unless agreed upon with Sakura Photos by signing a Model Release form.

To help us build out our company portfolio we are offering discounts for clients that release photos to us.

Photography is 90% experience, however, good equipment definitely helps.

As of 2026, SakuraPhotos uses two Sony a7V full-frame cameras. We have a range of professional portrait and event lenses from Japanese manufacturers. We also have extensive studio and outdoor lighting equipment.
