I am Masa, a Hokkaido elopement photographer based in Sapporo,
photographing only one couple per day for over 20 years.


Welcome to the ultimate destination wedding experience in Japan. I offer an exclusive, high-end Hokkaido private elopement and luxury pre-wedding photography service designed for sophisticated couples worldwide. Guided by a local expert photographer with over 20 years of experience,your lifetime milestone will be captured with the absolute finest aesthetics in Hokkaido's untouched winter snow landscapes and breathtaking summer vistas.

I photograph only one couple per day.

No rush. We take our time.

As a local, I know the quiet fields in Biei, Furano and all around Hokkaido,
away from the crowds — so it feels like your own winter.


LOCATIONS

Biei / Furano / Lake Shikotsu / Lake Toya / Otaru / Sapporo /
Niseko / Noboribetsu / Lake Akan / All Hokkaido

FUJIFILM GFX LARGE FORMAT for key portrait:
Those are true Museum-quality fine art. With a sensor 1.7x larger than full-frame, it delivers true three-dimensionality and color depth — essential for Furano lavender, Shakotan blue, and Shikotsu snow. I use it only for the most timeless frames, to preserve your time on location. This is why Lykke Photo Style / KOGARECO is strictly one couple per day, photographed entirely by me.

✦ PLANNING A WINTER ELOPEMENT IN HOKKAIDO ✦
Q: What is the best timing for a snow field elopement?
A: Late January to February offers the most stable, deep powder snow blankets in Biei, Furano,Niseko and Sapporo.
Q: Are location permits required for winter wedding shoots?
A: Yes, public spots like Moerenuma Park or private fields in Biei strictly require advance local permissions. At LYKKEPHOTOSTYLE/ KOGARECO, we handle up to 10,000 JPY of permit fees with 100% transparency.
Q: How do we handle winter transportation?
A: Driving in winter snow storms is extremely hazardous. Our full-day direct packages include private travel transportation up to 300km to ensure safe relocation between locations.
Q: Can we shoot weddings or portraits with the drifting ice (Ryuhyo)?
A: Yes! February is the peak season to capture the drifting ice along the Shiretoko and Abashiri coasts. However, please note that this is an extreme long-distance expedition requiring a 7-hour drive one-way from Sapporo. For safety and perfect light, this option is strictly handled as a multi-day custom package requiring pre-wedding and post-wedding overnight stays (pre/post-shoot lodging) for the photographer.
