I photographed a family celebrating both Shichi-Go-San and omiyamairi at Chiryu Shrine in Chiryu, Aichi. The gallery follows this shared milestone through portraits of the children and the whole family.

Two celebrations, one family story

Holding Shichi-Go-San and omiyamairi on the same day brings different stages of childhood into one set of photographs. Alongside the formal portraits, the gallery preserves the family together in the shrine grounds.

Photographs that let the day speak

The original Japanese post was published primarily as a photographic record. Rather than adding details that were not written down, this translated edition keeps the images at the center and presents the location and occasion clearly.

Before planning a shrine session

Photography rules, applications, and possible fees vary by shrine and may change. Please confirm the latest information directly with Chiryu Shrine before booking; we can then plan a comfortable schedule around both celebrations.

Let’s preserve your family’s time.

Your date and location do not need to be decided yet. Tell me what you know, and we can plan from there.
