Sakura Studio

I had my child's pre-coming-of-age ceremony photos taken. I'm sorry I was late. I'm so sorry m(_ _)m The atmosphere was perfect and perfectly matched the child's image. The staff were very kind and courteous, and I'm really glad I used this studio. I also got to pet the cute kitty. I'd definitely use this service again. Thank you so much.

I went to take photos of my three-month-old baby. It seemed like they handle a lot of Coming-of-Age ceremony photos, so I called ahead to ask if they could take baby photos. They suggested I come and take a look, so I did. There's a parking lot next to the building with space for two cars. As you enter through the entrance, you're greeted by a Ghibli-esque space! The warm, stately wooden interior is reminiscent of the shop in "Whisper of the Heart." The cozy atmosphere makes you feel like you'd linger in a cafe, and it's relaxing. The photo shoot cost 8,800 yen (tax included, credit cards accepted). You pay the fee on the day of the shoot. They will provide you with sample photos (all photos except those with closed eyes or blurry eyes) that can be used as products later. You can decide which photos you want to buy and what kind of product you want them to be (for an album, frame, etc.), and pay when the product is ready. The albums, frames, and canvas prints are also lovely. You can purchase the data alone for 44,000 yen! (Please inquire directly for detailed pricing.) They don't have many children's costumes to rent, so rather than dressing up and taking extraordinary photos, it feels more like a studio where you can take photos that capture the happiness of everyday family life. (They did have a kimono for a baby's shrine visit and a white baby dress, so I borrowed them for free for the photo shoot ♥️) They're a married couple, and they're such a wonderful couple that they make you feel like you're visiting a relative's house. They operate by appointment only, so if you'd like to have your photos taken, I recommend calling them first.

I used their services for my pre-wedding photo shoot and my child's Shichi-Go-San ceremony. You can take cute photos at a children's photo studio, but I like how the studio's design (entrance and other things) gives it a slightly different atmosphere. The photo taken through the door, with the glass wall and door acting as a frame, combined with the light streaming in, captured the child's natural movements, creating a nostalgic shot that I was very happy with. The staff were friendly and I felt at ease.

I was a little nervous going there because it's by appointment only, but the calming interior put me at ease. They offer coffee, and there are cats around, so I didn't mind waiting for my photos to be finished at all.

Even though I only went there to take a photo, I was treated to a drip coffee. If you're lucky, you'll be greeted by a slightly shy cat.
