We have gathered highlights from Yamatomichi’s photo shoots between spring and summer 2025.

Our journeys took us to familiar yet ever-inspiring landscapes—Yakushima, Mt. Fuji, and the Miura Peninsula. The still photography was led by Masaaki Mita, editor-in-chief of our Journal. Joining us as models were long-distance hiker Masaru Kiyota, musician Naho Kaimoto, artist Naomi Kazama, Tent Sauna Party’s Makoto Fujiyama, Yamatomichi Spotify playlist curator Kiyora Toyoshima, along with our own staff members Daishi Sonoda and Junki Nakamura.

Through these sessions, we once again sought to capture The Walking People—those who keep moving forward, step by step, across diverse and ever-changing landscapes.
