Hello!

We are Ippei & Janine Naoi – Ippei is Japanese (from Tokyo) and Janine is Australian (from Melbourne).

We are photographers based in Tokyo since 2006, and we travel to Japan’s hidden gems very frequently.

For the beautiful Japanese islands that we recommend, please check out: Islands of Japan

All photographs on this website and our Instagram have been taken by us (copyrighted – licenses available through Getty Images for many of our photos). If you would like any additional information about our photography, or to commission a photoshoot, please contact us.

For personal photography sessions, we specialise in cinematic storytelling style for couples, families, maternity, weddings (including elopement and destination weddings), etc. Please check out Ippei and Janine Photography.
