A honeymoon session starts from the trip, not the city. Most honeymoons in Japan are a week or two of moving between places, with long dinners and late mornings, and the photographs should fit into that rather than demand a 4:30 alarm. The same planning suits an anniversary trip, a first or a twentieth. What makes it different from a couple photoshoot is that it is built around where you are staying and when you are free, and kept to one setting done well. Where it goes in the itinerary. The first full day after a long-haul flight is rarely the best: jet lag shows, and suitcases are still half unpacked. A day in the middle of the trip, ideally somewhere you stay two nights, leaves room to move the session if the weather turns. If you are staying at a ryokan, the morning after the first night is often the calmest moment of the whole honeymoon. Evening settings in the cities. In Kyoto, the Kamo River is the honeymoon setting: the free banks between Sanjo and Shijo as the sun goes down, and from May to September the Pontocho restaurants light their wooden platforms over the water. In Tokyo, Marunouchi at dusk — the palace moat at Nijubashi, then the red-brick station lighting up along Gyoko-dori — shows the city at its best without looking like a wedding redone. Slower settings outside them. In Hakone the two options sit 20 minutes apart: your ryokan room in robes with tea poured, or the red torii in Lake Ashi before the queue grows, which on weekends can reach an hour and a half by mid-morning. Lake Toya in Hokkaido does not freeze, so a winter honeymoon still has open water, and fireworks go up over it most evenings from late April to October. In Okinawa, the session fits inside a ferry day to Zamami in the Kerama Islands, on Furuzamami Beach at midday. Wearing the wedding clothes again. Many couples bring something from the wedding — the dress, a veil, the suit, or simply the rings. A honeymoon is the one time you can wear them again without a timetable, and a riverbank or a hotel garden suits a gown far better than a crowded temple approach. A second outfit, the wedding look and then what you really travel in, needs an extra hour at $150, with 15 to 20 minutes of it kept for changing. Ryokan rules. Ask your ryokan first: many allow guests to be photographed in their room or the garden, but cameras are never allowed in the baths, shared or private outdoor ones included. We check the rules with the ryokan before the date. Ryokan dinners often start around 6 pm, so an evening session there has to finish in time to change. Season shapes the plan. Cherry blossom in Tokyo and Kyoto peaks for about a week between late March and early April, and the Kyoto autumn colours run from mid-November to early December; both bring crowds, so the quieter hours matter. Winter brings snow in Hokkaido from December to March and the clearest Mt Fuji mornings. The June to mid-July rainy season and the August to October typhoons are the weeks to keep a spare day.

It is planned around your trip rather than around a style. We start from where you are staying and when you are free — a ryokan morning, an evening by the Kamo River, a ferry day to Zamami — check the hotel or ryokan rules for you, and keep it to one setting done well, with room for your wedding clothes. ### Can we wear our wedding dress? Yes, and a honeymoon is a good time to. Choose a setting with smooth ground, such as a riverbank, a hotel garden or a lakeshore, rather than a crowded temple approach, and avoid shrine grounds, where a white gown can be refused. A change into travel clothes needs an extra hour. ### Can you photograph us at our ryokan? In your room and, with the ryokan’s permission, the garden and corridors — we ask on your behalf. Never in the shared baths. A private-hire bath (kashikiri) is sometimes possible if the ryokan agrees and it is booked for you. ### Where do we change between outfits? At your hotel if the two places are close, otherwise at a kimono studio or a station changing room. If you add an hour for a second outfit, we build 15–20 minutes into it for changing. --- Komorebi · https://www.komorebis.cc
