1 Night 2 Days


If we knew that Kyoto has so many beautiful places, we would’ve stayed longer. From the weather, the buildings, the sceneries and the people, Kyoto is full of historical beauty in every inch of the city. During our 10 days trip to Japan, we only plan for 2 days in Kyoto and that is the only thing we regretted coming to Japan. We wished that we stayed longer in Kyoto.


Kyoto was so beautiful we had to take this chance to take beautiful photos, thankfully, Michael was recommended to us and became our photographer of the day.

The Perfect Time


We were recommended to take photos during the sunset hour and after looking at the results, we now know why. The photographer asked us to start posing once there’s a hint of sunset to get that afternoon glow when the set hits the Pagoda behind us. Also, would you look at that vibrant and clean looking photos.

Short but Sweet


That is our story. We received a total 60 photos from that short trip. The next time we visit Kyoto, we will make sure to include a minimum of 2 nights of Kyoto in our itinerary.
