Embrace the Warmth of Antiques at Kitamura Photo Studio

Nestled on the 7th floor of the Kitamura camera shop in Shinjuku, Tokyo, the newly opened "Kitamura Photo Studio by MERCI" is a photography haven that combines natural light with antique aesthetics. This year, a unique Christmas photography event will take place between November and December, showcasing exquisite photo sets designed exclusively for the season. Under the creative direction of renowned photographer Mizuki, known for her one-of-a-kind artistic vision, the studio guarantees a warm and memorable experience capturing life's precious moments amidst an enchanting classical backdrop.

Exclusive Christmas Setup

The special Christmas sets include a delightful collection of ornaments sourced from Europe, charming teddy bears, vintage trunks, and an array of unique items that truly embody the essence of the holiday season. This limited-time event allows visitors to step into a magical world where they can create cherished memories with their loved ones.

Attendees will not only partake in a photoshoot but enjoy a brief tour of the studio, making it accessible to first-time visitors as well. Each photo session promises to be an unforgettable moment, as Mizuki takes the time to engage with each group individually, providing a personalized experience that brings their desired images to life.
