Higashichaya Old Town, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan Chaya is a traditional place of feasts and entertainment, where Japan’s famous geishas have been entertaining people through dances and playing traditional musical instruments since the Edo period. Higashiyama is the biggest chaya district in Kanazawa, and provides the opportunity for a glimpse into Japan’s rich cultural past. We will have a photo shoot session in the area 60 minutes

Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan Kenrokuen is justifiably classified as one of Japan's ‘three most beautiful landscape gardens’. The spacious grounds used to be the outer garden of Kanazawa Castle, constructed by the ruling Maeda family over a period of nearly two centuries. Opened to the public in 1871, Kenrokuen features a variety of flowering trees which provide the garden with different aspects and features depending on the season. My personal favourite is Spring, but Nno matter what time of year, you won’t want to miss a visit to this magnificent, quintessential Japanese garden. You cannot miss a photo session here. It is a must do! 60 minutes
Kanazawa Castle, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan Kanazawa Castle was the seat of the Maeda Clan’s power over the Kaga Domain in Edo period Japan.

We will have photo shoot session. 15 minutes

This was a worthwhile experience for us. We were short on time and wanted to get a glimpse of Kanazawa before we left. TK picked us up at the hotel on time and gave us a brief tour while taking great photos of us throughout. Highly recommend.

Tiki was attentive and very considerate of our limited time. We will recommend him to friends. Having our own vehicle for 6 of us was special. He knew the exact scenes for photo shoots. He had professional gadgets as a photographer. Very rare cause he spoke perfect English.That’s a big plus for us
