A Guide to Hidden Toyama Through Photography
Hello! We are the team behind Funogi, a husband-and-wife partnership based in Toyama, Japan. Originally from Hong Kong, we have spent many years travelling throughout Japan and around the world. Through these experiences, we have come to appreciate the value of authentic local connections and meaningful travel experiences. I am an enthusiastic photographer who enjoys exploring Toyama's scenic landscapes, historic districts, waterfront areas, seasonal beauty, and lesser-known local spots. Through photography, I hope to help visitors slow down, discover unique perspectives, and experience Toyama beyond the usual tourist routes. My wife is an English-speaking local guide and private tutor who enjoys meeting people from different cultures and helping international visitors feel comfortable during their stay in Japan. Together, we offer personalised experiences centred around photography, local exploration, nature, and cultural discovery. Whether you are looking for photogenic locations, hidden gems, or simply a relaxed way to experience Toyama through local eyes, we would be delighted to welcome you. We look forward to sharing the beauty and charm of Toyama with you.
