Hi there!
We had lovely clients from Melbourne and Bali the other day.
They came here to Japan on their honeymoon/family trip.
Their requests were below.
1. Cherry blossom view.
2. The place where they can feel classical/real Japan.
So we offered shooting in a city called Kawagoe, which is located in Saitama prefecture, pretty close to downtown Tokyo (40mins by train).
Kawagoe is one of the famous cities known as “Koedo”, which means the place that has many historical architecture, and people can experience the atmosphere of "Edo" period (1603-1868).
If you are seeking a taste of classical Japan, Kawagoe will be a perfect destination.
🌸
In terms of cherry blossom viewing, Kawagoe also offers some picturesque spots.
During the cherry blossom season, some areas like riverside and shrines are adorned with amazing pink blooms, creating a Breathtaking and romantic atmosphere.
