Dress points for daytime and nighttime

Recommended attire and belongings for photo tour

Breathable clothing, a hat, and sunglasses are recommended during the daytime because of the strong sunlight. During nighttime stargazing, temperatures are cooler, so a lightweight woven coat is recommended.

 

Tips for choosing clothes that look good for a photo shoot

If the beach or nature is the backdrop, brighter clothing such as white or light colors will look good in photos. Shoes should be easy to move in and stain-resistant, and accents with accessories and small objects will give a glamorous impression.

Since it was a night tour, I was a little nervous about the darkness and finding my way, but the guide kindly shone a flashlight for me, so even as a beginner, I had no trouble at all and really enjoyed it. The beauty of the starry sky above was beyond words, and I’ll treasure the photos the guide took for me as family heirlooms. If you’re on the fence, you should definitely go!

We attended the night event with our young children, and just as mentioned in the advance information, the staff were incredibly attentive. Our children were fascinated by the countless stars they don’t usually get to see, and we’re so glad we were able to take a beautiful photo of our whole family together. As parents, we felt completely at ease and were thoroughly satisfied!

I booked this for the first day of my roughly one-week trip, but I changed the date to one with a clear night sky. They kept in touch with me every day, and finally, on the last day, they were able to capture some truly beautiful photos. I’m so glad I chose this place for my very first starry sky photoshoot. Thank you very much.
