Tokyo Children / Family Photographer | Shichigosan
Shichigosan at Hokokuji Temple
I absolutely love this beautiful tradition called Shichigosan where family celebrates when their kids reach 3,5 and 7 years old by dressing them up in this beautiful kimono. Every time when I go out to photograph Shichigosan, I see peoples face just light up just like they see ancient prince or princess. And visiting this temple, where it’s famous for its bamboo forest but still a secluded place away from main tourist area of Kamakura, it was just an added bonus :-)
Tokyo Family / Engagement / Couple Photographer | Yoyogi Park
My favorite place in central Tokyo to experience autumn foliage would be Yoyogi Park. This is also one of rare places that you can experience both yellow ginkgo leaves and red Japanese maple leaves at same time. While most of ginkgo leaves turn yellow in mid November, the Ginkgo trees in Yoyogi Park are huge, they tend to turn yellow at late November which is also same time that you can experience red maple leaves.
