Hello! We are Photo Studio Palette Obihiro Store! 🎨

Unlike indoor studio sessions, outdoor location photography allows us to capture natural, airy, and stunningly vibrant photos utilizing the beauty of natural light and seasonal landscapes. Today, we would like to introduce the charm of our top five most popular location spots in the Obihiro and Tokachi areas of Hokkaido! 🌸

1. Kofuku Station – A Retro Stage to Celebrate Your Journey to Happiness 🛤

Bearing the name “Kofuku” (which means “Happiness” in Japanese), this destination is incredibly popular among couples from both Japan and overseas as a “Lover’s Sanctuary” that fills you with joy just by visiting. The wooden station building and platform, once actively used for trains, have been perfectly preserved to this day.

Its greatest charm is the nostalgic atmosphere that makes every single angle look like a painting. We can capture highly romantic, cinematic photos that look straight out of a classic movie scene.

2. White Birch Tree Avenue – An Artistic Space Changing with the Seasons 🌲

The beautiful White Birch Tree Avenue (Shirakaba Namiki) leading to the Tokachi Ranch is a highly sought-after location where you can truly feel the majestic scale typical of Hokkaido.

From spring through summer, you can enjoy the stunning contrast between the fresh green leaves and the striking white tree trunks. In autumn, the foliage glows in a brilliant golden hue. Above all, winter location photography here is an absolute masterpiece. When the ground is covered in a blanket of snow, the pure white surface acts as a natural light reflector, allowing us to capture magical, ethereal photos with an incredibly bright and transparent tone.

3. Manabe Garden – The Historic Beauty of Woven Japanese and Western Styles 🎋

Known as “Japan’s first conifer (evergreen) garden,” Manabe Garden is a luxurious photo location that offers a wide variety of shooting situations, ranging from traditional Japanese spaces to Western-style landscapes.

Throughout the beautifully manicured, expansive garden, seasonal flora blooms in abundance. The autumn foliage season, in particular, offers breathtaking, jaw-dropping beauty. Furthermore, you can take photos infused with the nostalgic elegance of classic Japan at the “Shinseikaku,” a historic structure built on the premises in 1911.

4. Tokachi Hills – A Panoramic View of the Boundless Sky and Earth ☁️

Situated on a gentle hill overlooking the vast Tokachi Plain, Tokachi Hills is a spectacular location filled with colorful seasonal flowers and a sense of absolute freedom beneath the wide-open sky and rich nature.

Here, we can capture highly dynamic photos making the most of the grand landscape, including shots at the popular “Sky Mirror,” a water feature that beautifully reflects the vibrant blue sky above.

5. Tokachi Millennium Forest – Feel the Epic Scale of Mother Nature 🌳

Once recognized as one of the most beautiful gardens in the world, the “Tokachi Millennium Forest” is a Hokkaido garden boasting an overwhelmingly epic scale.

In this vast estate where forests, hills, and modern art installations blend in perfect harmony, you can step away from daily life and spend a truly extraordinary time. With an endless expanse of green lawns and a deeply vibrant, life-filled forest as your backdrop, you can leave behind incredibly freeing and majestic photos richly blessed by Mother Nature.
