Celebrating Okuizome (100th Day): Special Meaning & Recommended Timing for Your Baby’s Photography

The 100th-day celebration, known in Japan as Okuizome (first meal ceremony), is a deeply rooted cultural tradition where families pray for their baby to “never go hungry in life.

” It is also a heartfelt milestone to express gratitude for the infant’s healthy growth over their first 100 days of life.

Around 3 to 4 months of age, infants undergo wonderful developmental milestones compared to the newborn stage.

Their cheeks become rounder, they begin to laugh out loud when entertained, and their eyes curiously follow the camera lens, revealing a rich variety of facial expressions.

As they begin to gain head control, it becomes the absolute sweetest timing to capture adorable baby postures, such as tummy-time poses.

At Palette+Plus Sapporo Higashi, we provide a soft, naturally lit, and stylishly designed studio environment designed to catch these fleeting moments.

From structured, classic commemorative photos wearing traditional Japanese Ubugi (kimono for babies) to relaxed, candid shots, you can enjoy a wide variety of photographic styles during your trip to Hokkaido.

Peace of Mind Guarantee: A Baby-Friendly Environment for First-Time Studio Sessions

“What if my baby cries mid-shoot?” “What if they get hungry or cranky?”

“What if they get shy around strangers?” Taking a baby to a photo studio—especially while traveling abroad—can bring many anxieties.

At Palette+Plus Sapporo Higashi, we create a spacious, relaxed environment tailored entirely to the pace of your child and family.

We reserve a generous 90-minute time slot per session—covering everything from check-in, costume selection, shooting, to changing clothes.

This allows plenty of time for nursing, diaper changes, and breaks without feeling rushed.

Furthermore, should your baby be in a tough mood on the day and unable to show a smile, our studio provides a Free Reshoot Guarantee (up to 1 time).

Our experienced staff gently interact with infants according to their emotional state.

Parents can sit back, relax, and truly enjoy the photo session itself as a cherished memory of their family journey in Japan.

Outfit Selection: Rich Selection of Japanese & Western Wear! Choose Up to 4 Outfits

One of the most thrilling parts of a 100th-day photo session is choosing the adorable outfits!

Because this milestone happens only once in a lifetime, many parents wish to see their child in various styles.

At Palette+Plus Sapporo Higashi, you can select up to 4 outfits for a 100-day photo package!

Omiyamairi Kimono (Ubugi / Kakegi): Traditional and formal Japanese kimono attire. The ultimate classic style to wish for healthy growth.

Sapporo Higashi Ward: Great Location & Free Omiyamairi Rental Convenience

Outings with a baby require plenty of baggage—diapers, formula, extra clothing—making transportation an important factor when picking a studio, especially during seasons with changeable weather in Hokkaido.

Palette+Plus Sapporo Higashi is located at Kita 18-jo Higashi 16-chome, Higashi-ku, Sapporo, offering smooth access from Higashi Ward Office and Kanjodori Avenue. We provide a convenient setup so families visiting by car can arrive without stress.

You can head straight to nearby Shinto shrines after your studio session, minimizing travel stress while completing your cultural celebrations efficiently in a single day.
