Where most travelers shoot — and where photographers know every angle.
All destinations in Japan
From mountain villages to island volcanoes — pick where your story happens.
Tokyo
Neon canyons and quiet back lanes in the same hour — a capital that changes character every few streets and photographs beautifully in both moods.
Kyoto
Vermilion gates, temple gardens and lantern-lit lanes — the city most people picture when they picture Japan, and the one that rewards an early alarm.
Osaka
Canal neon, castle grounds and street food alleys — the loudest, friendliest city in Japan, and the easiest one to shoot at night.
Hakone
A torii standing in the lake with Fuji behind it on a clear morning — the honeymoon and proposal stop, an hour and a half from Tokyo.
Nara
Deer wandering a park the size of a district, a bronze Buddha in the largest wooden hall in the world, and stone lanterns under moss.
Kamakura
A seaside town of temples an hour from Tokyo, with a bamboo grove, a great bronze Buddha and a tram that crosses to the beach.
Yokohama
Japan's old port, half an hour from Tokyo: a skyline on the water, red-brick warehouses, Chinatown's gates and a hill of Western houses.
Nikko
Carved and gilded shrines in cedar forest, a red lacquer bridge over a mountain river, and the best autumn colour within reach of Tokyo.
Lake Kawaguchi
The postcard view of Mount Fuji across open water, with a pagoda above the town and lavender on the shore in July.
Kanazawa
One of the three great gardens of Japan, wooden teahouse streets with gold leaf in the windows, and far fewer people than Kyoto.
Takayama
A merchant town of dark wooden houses in the northern Alps, half an hour from the thatched farmhouses of Shirakawa-go.
Miyajima
A torii that floats at high tide, a shrine built on stilts over the water, and deer on the beach — a short ferry from Hiroshima.
Sapporo
Snow from December to March, a canal town of glass lamps half an hour away, and lavender hills in July — the north is a different country.
Ishigaki
Turquoise water at Kabira Bay, a village of red-tiled roofs ten minutes away by ferry, and a sky full of stars — Japan's subtropical south.

Damien took our maternity photos 8 years ago in Paris and we were so excited to find out we would be in the same city again. He was super patient with my son who had the zoomies during our shoot, and took the humidity and mosquitoes like a…
