Hello everyone!
My name is Isono, and I am a photographer.
Arashiyama, where our studio is located, is famous for its beautiful cherry blossoms!
This year’s cherry blossoms were also very beautiful🌸
Not only in Arashiyama, but there are many places famous for cherry blossoms in the whole Kyoto prefecture.
In fact, the cherry blossoms along the river near my house are very beautiful🌼
It is not a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, but it was so beautiful that its branches grew to form a pink roof over the sidewalk🌷
There were many local residents enjoying the cherry blossoms, and it was a peaceful spring scene💐
Our studio offers photo shoots with cherry blossoms during the cherry blossom season.
It is difficult to take pictures in a relaxed atmosphere because of the many tourists, but it is a special photo that can only be taken during this time of the year!
lovely!!
If you want a plan with Oiran Makeup to shoot in the Japanese Garden, you will need to purchase an additional cherry blossom shoot.
This is because there are only a few cherry blossoms in the Japanese garden.
If you don’t want to purchase the additional fee, you can still shoot with cherry blossoms with the outdoor shooting course of the KOKOHIME plan for the plan fee.
Actually, there were so many tourists around, but we took pictures without them being in the picture.
Even if you are shooting outdoors, you can also shoot in a seated pose.
In this case, we will borrow the porch of a building in the garden and take pictures with the kimono down on the floor👘
Since we have taken the trouble to choose the kimono, we want the photos to show the beautiful pattern well!
(If this building is in use, we cannot use it)
Wearing a red kimono in the greenery of a Japanese garden looks so gorgeous!
The red kimono is very popular because everyone has the image of Oiran as a gorgeous color.
Also, these shoes are called Sanmaiba-geta, which is also part of the image of Oiran that everyone has in common.
A real Oiran walks in a figure-eight formation while wearing these very thick-soled shoes while holding onto a man’s shoulder.
However, as you will see once you try these shoes on, they are too heavy and high to walk in🚶
The real Oiran who wore these shoes is amazing😲
The cherry blossoms are falling, but now is the season of fresh greenery!
Trees that do not yet have leaves on them will be turning green from now on🌿
Furthermore, you will be able to take pictures not only in the Japanese garden but also in the bamboo grove.
The Bamboo Forest Shooting is a limited time plan, but we recommend this plan during this season when the bamboo is turning a beautiful green color.
