STUDIO ARC Co., Ltd. (HQ: Sakai City, Osaka), which operates 23 photo studios nationwide, will hold a special 'Golden Week Household Support Campaign' from April 29th (Wed, Holiday) to May 10th (Sun), 2026. During this period, the standard 'Weekend/Holiday Shooting Fee' will be 50% OFF for all services, including Kids (Shichi-go-san/Birthday), Furisode (Adult Ceremony), and Weddings.
■ Three Main Topics of This Release
【Customer Returns】
We are deliberately halving the 'Holiday Additional Fee' during the high-demand Golden Week to propose a family-friendly way to spend the consecutive holidays.
【Combining Time-Saving and Cost-Performance】
We recommend 'Shichi-go-san early shoots' and 'Furisode preparations' during this period when families are likely to gather or return home, avoiding the autumn peak.
【Available for All Generations & All Stores】
The campaign is held simultaneously across all 23 stores in Kanto, Kansai, and Tokai, covering all brands. Capture the 'now' of your entire family with top quality.
Family shoots are also available. Shichi-go-san early shoots during Golden Week are particularly economical. We also offer exclusive original costumes.
■ Background: Supporting 'Family Memory Making' Amidst Rising Prices
In 2026, Golden Week is predicted to see further acceleration in dynamic pricing for accommodation and leisure. While many may refrain from going out due to high costs, we believe that 'opportunities to record family bonds should not be dictated by social conditions.' By halving the weekend fees, we support families to enjoy their holidays wisely, perhaps using the saved budget for costume upgrades or meals.
