Kyoto, Japan
Daikaku-ji Temple
Step Into a Thousand-Year Legacy of Imperial Art and Lakeside Majesty
The Splendor of the Peony Room
Originally the detached palace of Emperor Saga, Daikaku-ji in Arashiyama is a pinnacle of Kyoto’s Imperial history. Among its many architectural treasures, the Peony Room (Botan-no-ma) stands out as a masterpiece of Edo-period artistry. Its vibrant sliding doors, adorned with delicate peony blossoms, offer a lush and regal indoor setting for your luxury wedding portraits.
Beyond the palace walls lies Osawa Pond, the oldest surviving imperial garden pond in Japan. For couples seeking an exclusive Kyoto photo wedding, the transition from the ornate “Botan-no-ma” to the cinematic wooden corridors and the expansive waterfront provides a diverse and sophisticated portfolio unlike any other in the world.
