Hello everyone! Today, we’re excited to introduce Roka Koshun-en!

This historic park was once the former residence of the celebrated Meiji and Taisho era novelist Roka Tokutomi, and after his passing, it was donated to Tokyo and opened to the public. The park still retains much of the Musashino landscape, giving visitors a sense of Japan’s natural beauty and history. You can explore the open spaces as well as Tokutomi’s former residence!
It’s a perfect location for traditional Japanese attire photos, where you can really feel the history around you.

If you’re unsure about locations for your shoot, we hope this blog will serve as helpful inspiration ♡
