Shoot
12:30 – 16:30
Travel
By car

The couple arrived on Nishinoshima the day before the shoot, traveling from Tokyo via Yonago. On the day itself they changed and ate lunch in the morning, then spent the afternoon circling Matengai, Kuniga Coast, and the roads between. Cliff wind, a concrete pier, a hill of sky. We did not rush the poses. We kept the way the day was walked. Shoots in Dozen involve ferry and local transport, so they are quoted individually.

Itinerary

Arrive the day before.
Leave the next afternoon.

  1. The day before

    Into Nishinoshima

    From Tokyo via Yonago to Nishinoshima. Because a shoot includes travel and getting ready, we plan for arrival the day before.

  2. 10:30 – 12:00

    Meet, change, lunch

    Outfit checks and getting ready are finished in the morning, with cliff wind in mind. We keep a gap before the first frame.

  3. 12:30 –

    Matengai

    By car toward Matengai. Grass, cliff, and a wide sky. Places are chosen by gusts and footing, with safety first.

  4. Kuniga Coast

    Harbor, rocks, in between

    From a fishing pier onto the rocks. Concrete, tide, and a steep shore. The walking between places is part of the day.

  5. 16:30

    Return to the inn

    We do not rush the end of the day. The ride back is part of it.

  6. The next day

    A morning on the island, then back to Tokyo

    The shoot is not asked to carry the whole trip. The next morning was for walking Nishinoshima. They returned to Tokyo in the afternoon.

A real shoot on Nishinoshima in September 2026. Matengai is exposed to sudden wind and uneven ground, so locations are chosen for safety first. Dozen shoots vary in cost with ferry, local transport, and the length of stay.

We can plan a Dozen day with you.

Your dates and island do not need to be decided yet. Start with the season you want, and the kind of day you want to keep.
