Visiting famous tourist spots is nice, but we don't like crowded places, so Thoughts Photo Japan gave us a special moment just for the two of us.
The photos are so wonderful that we have them displayed in our living room, and we still enjoy looking at them and talking about memories of our trip to Japan!
We had a great experience in the photo studio.
The photographer and staff were amazing!! An interpreter stayed with us throughout the whole shooting and translated everything that was said.
My daughter wore a special traditional kimono which is Junihitoe was so beautiful. I highly recommend. I would like to go back again it was a beautiful Japanese photo quality experience!!
