Sure you can. Please continue with the discussion/ query etc from V11. However if the talk/ discussion is on photographer's package, which studio, cost etc i'll suggest to use PM.

thx thx ts noted! thumbup.gif

hi all, i'm planning my pre wed photography + honeymoon during autumn
location: kyoto + nara + maybe osaka.
bought tix for 12-20 oct. (hopefully can see full red autumn leaves during this period)

actual photography might take place during 17,18 oct

current scenery ayam thinking for the photo:
1. nara park - deer, mountain, sunset (must)
2. fushimi inari - shrine stuff (must)
3. bamboo forest - bamboo trees lol (like waste of time?)
4. sagano train


might not go alot of places due to time constraint for photographer and travelling. so limit to few "more memorable" places.

wanna ask is there any other 'hidden' location asides from the more tourist common places to take my pre-wed photo?
and any advise for taking pre-wed photo in japan.

Yeah, torres09 is right. I went to Kyoto-Osaka from 17-26 Oct last year and only some leaves were starting to change colour. If you're going even earlier than I did, you might also just see very little autumn foliage.

The bamboo forest is unique and has its own charm. If you can somehow avoid the crowds you should go.

Not sure if those pay-to-enter temples and gardens allow you to take wedding photos inside but some of them are very beautiful.

aiks. doh.gif photographer advise to go around mid october (17-20th),
around that time at the worst we will stil see yellow color leaves right? sweat.gif sweat.gif

we still thinking whether to go bamboo forest. we an avoid the crowd at most places as we aldy planned to be there super early morning <7am

pay-to-enter temples gardens maybe skipped as the opening time will be late(10am?) and will be crowded.

Depends on the damage, this typhoon seems like a very damaging one. Despite that, almost everything will resume the next day or two after landfall

Also, airport might be closed, depending on how close the eye is. Last time Kansai closed for a week cos of a tanker hitting the bridge connecting it to mainland

It's impossible to predict a typhoon's path

Current trajectory is heading towards kansai region, with a last minute turn towards kanto region. Don't hedge your bets on that last minute turn being accurate down to the dot though

yea i agree. been keeping check on most japan related news , train, airline, and attractions website.
just hope the aftermath is nt bad for osaka.
tokyo wise no joke its gonna be devastating

From what is shown on Google maps that's updated by Japanese weather bureau
The typhoon will hit more on Tokyo than Kansai area

hard to predict how much damage will be caused for kansai area also as the typhoon is biggest so far. even the most outer layer will hit hard sweat.gif

The typhoon is HUGE mang, can cover whole of japan

Good thing is that it's weakening somewhat

Hopefully this will be the last one that will hit japan this year (there will still be typhoons in oct-nov-dec)
