About this tour
Work with an eight-year Kyoto resident who knows where the light falls best and which alleyways stay quiet. You pick the neighbourhood, he handles the framing—choosing 25 edited shots from over 100 captures and delivering everything via Google Drive. One hour yields professional images without the tourist crush, shot by someone who's learned to move through the city like a local.

What to expect
You'll arrive at your chosen neighbourhood and walk for an hour whilst Jens frames shots. He works quietly, positioning you in corners and doorways where the light works, steering clear of peak-hour foot traffic. You're not posing stiffly—he captures how you actually move through the space. Afterwards, he selects 25 images, adjusts brightness and colour balance, and uploads them to a shared Google Drive link. All raw files come too, so you've got everything if you want to edit further yourself.
Good to know
Tell him in advance if you're bringing children, using a wheelchair or pram, or have any physical limitations—he'll adapt the pace and route. The area is wheelchair accessible with nearby public transport. Moderate fitness helps since you'll be walking for the full hour.
