About this tour
When Tom from our BugBitten team booked a private photoshoot in Fujiyoshida, we got a solid hour with a qualified photographer capturing natural shots across the Mt. Fuji area. You pick your spot — Oishi Park by Lake Kawaguchi, the retro shopping street, Arakurayama Sengen Park, or five other scenic locations — and they'll deliver 100+ edited files within days. The region's a mix of tourist hotspots and quieter mountain vistas, so your backdrop choice shapes the whole feel. It's flexible enough to work around travel plans and weather hiccups, with a proposal photography option if you're planning something big.
Highlights
- 100+ original photo files delivered, not just a handful
- Seven signature locations plus custom spots across Mt. Fuji area
- Up to 10 photos professionally retouched as standard
- Flexible booking — can arrange up to 3 days ahead
- Bad weather? Swap dates, locations, or get full refund
- Qualified photographer, not an enthusiast with a camera
- Proposal video option captures the moment in one take
What to expect
You'll meet your photographer at your chosen location in Fujiyoshida — whether that's the postcard-perfect Oishi Park with Lake Kawaguchi in the frame, the nostalgic vibe of the retro shopping street, or one of the quieter temple and park spots. The hour moves quickly; they'll guide you into natural poses and angles rather than stiff, staged stuff. You won't stand around waiting for light or fiddling with settings — they handle that side. The region itself is busy in parts, quieter in others, so your location pick matters for the feel you want.
Within days, you'll get a pile of files — over 100 — with up to 10 cleaned up and colour-corrected. If rain's forecast three days before or suddenly rolls in on the day, you pivot: reschedule, swap to an indoor backup spot, or cancel for your money back. Late arrival does eat into shooting time and file count, so punctuality counts.

Good to know
You're getting a proper photographer, not a travel buddy with a phone, and the file count (100+) means real choice rather than a dozen blurry snaps. Proposal couples get dedicated options with video add-ons. Refund policy is no-nonsense — weather bail-out, full refund. The seven preset locations cover everything from lakeside to urban nostalgia, and you can suggest elsewhere if you've scouted a spot. Prams and wheelchairs are fine; public transport is nearby. All fitness levels work.
You're paying for your own transport to the location and any entrance fees (some parks charge). Out-of-town shoots add roughly ¥5,000. Weather plans kick in only if rain's flagged 3+ days ahead or appears on the day — forecast changes can catch you off guard. Retouching covers just 10 photos, so don't expect a full edit suite. You need to tell them your location preference during booking; they won't guess. Bring layers and sun protection depending on the season and spot.
