Hello, I’m Masahito Yoshida☺️ On October 14, 2026, I will move my photography base from Komagane, Nagano to Nagakute, Aichi. After the move, I will be accepting Shichi-Go-San sessions across Aichi and nearby areas in late October and November📸
Your child does not need to pose perfectly☺️
A kimono and an unfamiliar shrine can feel like a lot for a child. Running, tears, tired moments—all of that is completely okay.
I do not rush the schedule or force smiles. I wait until your family feels comfortable again, then photograph both the classic portraits and the small gestures that make the day yours📷
If you are wondering whether your child will manage the session, you are especially welcome to get in touch.

Any travel costs are quoted before you book🚗
Depending on the location, travel, tolls, parking, venue, or permit fees may apply. If so, I will tell you the complete total, including the session fee, before your booking is confirmed.
The location does not need to be decided yet. Tell me the area or shrine you are considering and we can work through the options together.
Please check the shrine’s photography rules⛩️
Rules about photography on the grounds, during prayers, photographer access, applications, and fees differ by shrine. Before booking, please ask the shrine whether an outside photographer is allowed.
If you are unsure what to ask, I can help you prepare the questions. I never photograph at a location without confirmed permission.
Feel free to ask about dates📅
I am accepting inquiries for late October and November 2026. “Now accepting inquiries” does not mean every date is available; I confirm each request in order, including travel time.
Cancellation and rescheduling are free for any reason and at any time. I do not charge cancellation or rescheduling fees, so please contact me whenever weather, health, or family plans change☺️

Is it okay if we have not chosen the shrine or time yet?
Yes. We can start with whatever you know, such as the general area or celebration period. Undecided details are completely fine when you inquire.
How far do you travel within Aichi?
I travel across Aichi and to nearby areas. Please ask about your location so I can check travel time and costs from Nagakute.
Who checks the shrine’s photography permission?
Please ask the shrine your family plans to visit whether an outside photographer is allowed. If you are unsure what to ask, I can help you prepare the questions.

No. Cancellation and rescheduling are free for any reason and at any time.
