“We had an absolutely fantastic autumn photo shoot in Kyoto with Micky! From the very beginning, he made us feel relaxed and comfortable, which was perfect for our couple session. The photos are simply stunning, and the value for money is outstanding. Micky was extremely attentive, listened to our wishes, and always went the extra mile to capture the best possible moments. We received all the photos from the shoot, which is a huge plus, and then we could choose our 35 favorite ones to be professionally retouched. We 100% recommend this experience — don’t hesitate for a second!”

The stable was an easy 2 min walk from our meeting point. Chairs to sit on while we watched the practice was welcome for weary feet :) Our your guide Marie was fantastic. She was very informative and passionate about Sumo wrestling. So glad we booked.”
