An independent media production group of long-term foreign residents of Kyoto.

Planet Kyoto Media creates video programs and DVDs focused on the Cultural, Natural and Architectural traditions and treasures of Kyoto, the ancient captital and cultural heart of Japan.

Bring back photos that you will treasure for a lifetime.

For photography enthusiasts who want to get the most out of their time in Kyoto, Planet Kyoto Media offers a one-of-a-kind Experience Kyoto Photo Quest. We will take you to the lesser known picturesque sites of Kyoto and use our connections to give you access to photograph traditional old houses and shops INSIDE and OUT, with a discussion of significant cultural and architectural aspects of Kyoto, as well as practice with the unique and alluring Kyoto dialect.

That summer feeling is starting to assert itself more forcefully: a sheen of sweat on the forehead, a heaviness in the shoulders. Keep going. Mop your forehead and keep going.

Think how good the iced tea will taste. The heat is so much more manageable than winter's burrowing cold.

I have a huge and growing list of features, profiles and mini-documentaries I want to make now. I just have to choose one at a time and get cracking.

Keep going.
