"OurPhoto" 10th Anniversary Special Website

10 years since service launch, continuously chosen by numerous users, cumulative photo sessions exceed 140,000

"OurPhoto" is an on-location photography matching service that directly connects users who want photos taken with photographers. Users can specify their preferred location, allowing for relaxed, natural expressions and warm photos that capture the atmosphere of the moment.

Since its launch in September 2015, its use has expanded against the backdrop of individual life event photography needs such as Shichi-Go-San (traditional Japanese rite of passage for 3, 5, and 7-year-olds), family photos, and newborn photos. By December 2025, cumulative photo sessions exceeded 140,000.

As ways to enjoy photos diversify, such as sharing on SNS and creating photobooks, photos are no longer just records. Their value as an "experience" that preserves relationships with family and loved ones, and the atmosphere of that moment, has also increased.

Comment from Joe Ihata, Manager, OurPhoto Business Division

In September 2025, 'OurPhoto' will reach a major milestone of its 10th anniversary since its service launch, and we have opened a special 10th-anniversary website filled with our journey and gratitude.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, which restricted face-to-face communication, we are now in an era where AI instantly generates images. It is precisely in such an era that we want to cherish the conversation and atmosphere leading up to pressing the shutter, that 'irreplaceable time'.

'OurPhoto' is not just a place to deliver photos. Under the vision of 'Enriching lives through memorable photography experiences,' we have strived to provide 'once-in-a-lifetime' photography experiences, connecting the joy of our users with the pride of our photographers.

Over these 10 years, supported by everyone's feelings, we have been able to capture many heartwarming photos that become treasures with families, partners, and friends. That is the greatest joy for us.

For the next 10 years, 'OurPhoto' will continue to connect the 'Hare no Hi' culture, days of memories with loved ones, and open up new standards for photography experiences.

Moving forward, OurPhoto will continue to strive for service improvement, responding to the needs of users and photographers, under the vision of 'Enriching lives through memorable photography experiences'.
