Fantastic tour and photos!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had an incredible day with Takatoshi-san, who was both an excellent tour guide and a skilled photographer, making the trip seamless and memorable. We went to Shirakawago in the morning, had lunch at a very nice Ramen shop in Takayama (Takatoshi-san's recommendation) and spent the afternoon wandering around the Old town of Takayama. Takatoshi-san really knew all the best photo spots and he took stunning pictures for us. Friendly, helpful, and professional, he truly went above and beyond to make our day special. Highly recommend this tour!

Shirakawago proposal

Published on Jan, 2025

I completed the Takayama and Shirakawago tour with TK. I was going to propose to my girlfriend during the photo shoot, but TK was very supportive of the plan and the choice of the spot. He made it very easy and smooth. He has a very good personality and a wealth of knowledge about Shirakawa-go and Takayama

Shirakawa-go and Takayama Photoshoot

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a great day exploring these beautiful places with TK whilst creating some gorgeous family photos. TK made the whole experience easy from booking to receiving the images very promptly. He was perfectly on time and kept the day running smoothly. We all enjoyed his company and he is considerate of the group’s needs. Importantly he takes beautiful photographs with a gentle manner and good sense of humour!

Takayama and Shirakawago day trip with photos to treasure

Published on Nov, 2024

TK was patient and punctual. His English was excellent, and so too the photos he took. The days seemed so smooth and effortless: the pick up, drive there, casual and unhurried tour and photo shoot, free time and then lunch. Takayama and Shirakawago are beautiful spots to visit.
