My passion of life are travel, making new friends, and music.
I used to be a backpack traveler. Travel always helps me create new idea, make my life exciting. My favorite place that I visited before is Bolivia in South America. I visited UYUNI salt lake, it was really beautiful and amazing place. And travel is the best way to meet new friends. I’m a very easygoing guy and happy to meet new friends from all over the world. Friends always make my life better and happy. I think no one could live and work alone, the more good friends we got, the bigger things we could do together. I learned English in LA. Supported by many good friends, I got really good experiences and memories there. So after I was back to Japan, I felt “It’s My Turn” to do same things for foreign tourists, and started photography service to capture their good memories in Japan. That’s the story I started the photography.
And I’m also another guy when I’m singing and playing guitar in my band called AIRFLIP in Japan. After traveling many countries and got many inputs, I always make output my feeling into songs. And when I do live shows, many of my friends come and enjoy the music together.
Thus, my 3 biggest passion of life related each other.

Recommended places:

I usually do photo session in Kyoto Gion and Higashiyama areas that are very the traditonal and historical place such as Yasuikonpira Shrine, Ishibekoji, Maruyama park. Since I’m very familiar to these area, I will take you to the best photo spots that are less crowd. And as you know, Japan has 4 seasons, and Kyoto shows you 4 different and beautiful scenery in each season. For example, beautiful cherry blossom in Spring season, green leaves in Summer, maple leaves in Autumn, snow city in Winter.
Every seasons have it’s attractive parts, and very good for photography. I’m very good at taking photos for solo-portrait, lovely couple, honeymoon and happy family.
