About this tour
When Tom from our BugBitten team tried this private photo session around Mount Fuji, Tokyo, and Kanagawa, we found a relaxed way to capture travel memories without the stiffness of a typical photo shoot. You book a one-hour private session tailored to your group—couples, families, or milestone moments like proposals. Tom handles posing direction and keeps things loose so you actually look like yourselves in the frame. You walk scenic spots together, he shoots, and you get back over 100 professionally edited, high-resolution digital files within days. It's personalised and flexible, though location entrance fees come out of pocket on the day.
Highlights
- One-hour session customised to your group and what matters to you
- 100+ professionally edited photos delivered digitally, ready to share
- Relaxed direction keeps you natural—not stiff or posed
- Works for couples, families, kids in prams, milestone moments
- Iconic backdrops: Mount Fuji, Tokyo landmarks, Kanagawa scenery
- Small private group dynamic—no strangers in frame
- Photographer handles the technical side; you just show up
What to expect
Tom meets you at your chosen location and spends an hour shooting in a low-pressure, chatty way. He'll suggest poses and angles but won't bark orders—the goal is candid moments where you're actually smiling and relaxed. You'll walk between spots (could be a quiet park, temple precinct, or viewpoint), and he'll work around natural light and foot traffic. The pace is gentle, not a rushed tick-box of 'must-do' shots. Afterwards, you receive a digital gallery of edited images within a few days, ready to download and print or post as you like.
What made it work for us: Tom's calm approach meant families didn't feel pressured, and the pre-session chat meant he understood what mattered—whether that's capturing a proposal, a kids' laugh, or simply you two looking like a couple again. The only surprise is that entrance fees to paid sites (temples, gardens, viewpoints with a gate) aren't covered in the session price, so budget separately if your chosen spot charges admission.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting professional keepsakes without hiring a wedding photographer for the full day. Couples often book this for engagement or anniversary shoots; families with young kids appreciate the one-hour window (less exhausting than a three-hour session). You control the location and vibe. Tom handles gear and editing, so no technical stress on your end. Public transport access to most spots is straightforward.
Entrance fees at paid locations add cost on the day—clarify with Tom upfront which sites charge. If you have spinal or heart conditions, check with Tom about walking and standing during the shoot. Very young children in prams are fine, but toddlers who need carrying might slow the pace. Weather matters—rain or harsh midday sun changes the shoot quality. Group size is small (you and Tom), so expect an intimate rather than group-photo experience.
Wear what makes you feel confident. You'll get digital files only, so no prints included—budget for printing if you want physical copies. Peak times (cherry blossom season, autumn foliage, summer weekends) may affect location crowds and Tom's availability. Suitable for all fitness levels, though you'll be walking and standing for an hour.
