We are delighted to announce that we can now offer pre-wedding location photography at a brand-new spot: Onzan-Soh Garden. Today, we would like to introduce the many charms of this historic location.

Onzan-Soh Garden is one of Wakayama’s most popular pre-wedding photo spots for traditional Japanese attire. It is also home to an exceptionally valuable building designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.

For couples interested in Wakayama’s famous Senjojiki coast as well, this location is particularly convenient. You can begin with traditional attire photography at Onzan-Soh Garden and then move to Senjojiki for Western-style shots—making it an ideal two-style photography plan in Wakayama.

In fact, two couples have already experienced this two-location plan and shared excellent feedback. We hope their experience will inspire you as well.
