Some of the best Artists you should check out for Japan inspiration

While Instagram has recently re-labeled itself as a video-first platform, there are still tons of great photographers over there that post stunning work regularly. I’ve put together a shor tlist of Japanese photographers whose works I have admired on Instagram.

1. @Kohki

One of the OG Japan Instagrammers who posts captions and additional content in English. Incredible photos all across Japan, with a primary focus on street and travel photography.
