I Want to Do Pre-Wedding Photos in Traditional Japanese Clothing ♡

Even if you are a bride-to-be who plans to hold a wedding ceremony in a chapel and won’t wear traditional clothing for the ceremony, pre-wedding and location photos in traditional attire are incredibly popular ♡ After all, being born Japanese, you might want to leave behind wedding photos in traditional clothing, right? ♩

4 Recommended Spots for Traditional Japanese Clothing Location Photos

For location shoots, you'd want to capture scenes that are distinctly Japanese and traditional ♡ Here are 4 locations across Japan that are perfect for traditional attire! ♡

Location for Traditional Clothing Pre-Wedding Photos ➀ Sankei-en (Yokohama)

Sankei-en, celebrating its 100th anniversary, is one of Japan's top traditional gardens ♡ The flowers and autumn leaves that bloom throughout the seasons are also wonderful ♩

A shot on the bridge at Sankei-en seems to be a classic ♡ The bridge surrounded by greenery is perfect for traditional attire, and the colorful uchikake (layered kimono) is vibrant ♡

In the spacious Sankei-en, there are many wonderful photo spots ♡ I want to take lots of beautiful pictures using photo props like garlands ♩

Location for Traditional Clothing Pre-Wedding Photos ➁ Gion (Kyoto)

When we talk about the number one prefecture that represents Japan, it’s definitely Kyoto! Among the locations in Kyoto, Gion is highly recommended ♡ Gion, where maiko (geisha apprentices) walk, is truly the perfect location for traditional attire ♡

Location for Traditional Clothing Pre-Wedding Photos ➂ Kumamoto Castle (Kumamoto)

Kumamoto Castle, towering in Kumamoto Prefecture, was built by Kato Kiyomasa during the Edo period and has a stunning presence ♡

The contrast of the white kimono against the black Kumamoto Castle is just beautiful ♡ The brightness of the umbrella complements the castle's dark color and your white kimono and hakama ♩

Wedding photos that don’t capture the entire castle are also wonderful ♡ Kumamoto Castle is surrounded by cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in fall, so seasonal wedding photos can be taken too ♡
