(About local GOSHIRO)

23 April 2025

What can I say, Goshiro was the most helpful and lovely guide we have had in our travels with Japan. From the first moment of making contact with Goshiro to see if he was available he went above and beyond to help me with any questions we had with our time in Fukuoka. Goshiro was honest and up front and worried his English wasn’t going to be that good, we assured him that we can’t speak Japanese so google translate came out a lot. This didn’t bother us a lot as goshiro was wanting to tell us as much as he could about his city and surrounds. We were so lucky to have Goshiro. He met us the evening before our tour and we had dinner with him and his wife which was absolutely beautiful. We picked up a car the following morning and goshiro took us all around the ago area to se some beautiful places. His time and dedication to hosting us for the day was amazing! He is so lovely and kind and we were thrilled to have him as our guide. As English wasn’t as strong to speak, he had written up all information for us and he read this out to us for history and information at each destination. Nothing was a problem with Goshiro and we really wish him the best with tour guides for English speaking travellers. Great Tour Guide

Josh has taken photographs for my events multiple times over the last few years. I can say with absolute confidence that his work goes beyond expectation. I have always been more than happy with the results. He seems to have a knack for finding the best shots and you can tell that he has really honed his craft well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.Kids Camp Shoot

We’ve worked with Josh on multiple occasions and in various capacities, on events, video interviews and portrait/candid shots, and can’t recommend him enough! Super professional, down to earth, affordable and accommodating - he’s your go-to photographer and videographer in Kyushu and elsewhere!Can’t Recommend Enough

Took a leap of faith with Josh and he delivered above and beyond! I was looking for a photographer with some flexibility since I didn't know how the weather conditions and timing would be for my proposal. Commercial photography services can be very restrictive with timing, expensive and bland in terms of customer service, so it was a godsend to have come across Josh on Reddit! Looking at his Instagram page and hearing his backstory in person, he's got a wealth of experience behind him. Even before confirmation, he was very professional and genuinely helpful. He went out of his way to present options, and he was upfront about the cost of his services. There were some initial difficulties with scheduling but he was very much willing to meet halfway. He even updated me regarding potential problems like weather conditions on the day and presented alternatives in case things would seemingly go south on the day. The shoot was smooth sailing even if we hadn't met in person before. He offered his car to bring us to another venue to shoot, pass for strawberries (the farm was unfortunately closed at the time), talked about his life and asked us about ours. Photography-wise, he has a lot of ideas and manages to direct you in case you're not the most photogenic people. The processed photos were delivered within the 48 hours and came out much to the delight of me and my fiancé. Photographers like Josh make these kinds of shoots feel very genuine and personal, especially knowing that he has as much fun doing it as you do. I highly recommend getting in touch with him and seeing if he can accommodate you! If ever I'm in the area again, I'd definitely hire Josh again.Exceeded Expectations

Josh is a wonderful photographer in Fukuoka in terms of the happy family photo! Josh has worked long as a photographer and also has much experience working for children’s school. He understands when children feel happy and how he can help parents/their children express who they are in terms of family bond, smile, and love. If you would like to take a special and memorable photo in the nature including oceans, mountains, and temples/shrines, you can ask him. Josh will discuss with you and arrange the best situation in Fukuoka. He is also a great guitar player, so you can have a special time with music while taking photos if you want!Fukuoka City Photographer

Working with Josh was the best decision we could have made when choosing a photographer for our engagement+proposal. Wanting to propose on Itoshima beach at sunrise, Josh was able to arrange meeting us at the Meoto Iwa in the morning, stealthily capture beautiful proposal photos, and personally take us to different scenic spots around town for more amazing pictures. Not only that, Josh went above and beyond by treating us to a bite at a local bakery and taking us back to our stay along the beach after our shoot. Being local to Itoshima, Josh’s guidance and generosity helped us feel right at home and truly relaxed while in the coastal city for a special first time. Josh also pleasantly surprised us by delivering edited photos back to us pretty much immediately. After parting ways with Josh in the late morning and spending the rest of our day seeing the beauty of Itoshima city, Josh sent edited pictures as a bow on top a perfect engagement right as we made it back home that evening. Equally as important are those pictures, which are truly perfect. Josh’s artistry and skill undeniably speak for themselves through his work. It’s rare when a photographer can capture not only how a moment looks but also how it feels and Josh did exactly that. All of this resulted in dreamy photos that paint perfect moments. Words can’t explain how magical this whole experience was for us and how meeting with Josh felt like fate. Everything went right and the experience was perfect. We are happy to say that Josh is a gifted photographer and a great friend.Photographer of the Year

Josh is a great photographer and worked with us to get the best shots possible for our proposal. Although the location we chose isn’t where he usually shoots, we appreciate that he made sure we have pictures to keep as memories of the beautiful city of Fukuoka.Nokonoshima Shoot

Yohei was prompt with answering my email messages. Communication was very good. He showcased a variety of places. The pretty sakura at Ohori Park, a museum, provided some history, took us to a beautiful Japanese garden, and ended with an interesting shrine. He took pictures of us and pointed out good photo stops. There were 4 of us on the tour and he evenly conversed with us all.Yohei was prompt with answering my email messages.

We had the honour of being the first tour of Yohei. It was a pleasant trip! We talked about the park and the castle, but also about life in Japan and the differences in our cultures. It was nice to talk and walk with a local. Just what we needed to make the trip to Fukuoka more memorable!We had the honour of being the first tour of Yohei.
