For those of you who are running websites or blogs, you will occasionally write about Japan-related topics, but you will often encounter insufficient photos and cannot find the atmosphere that matches your theme. Then you can go to the “Unmaterial Photo Materials” Japanese free material website to find it. It provides a lot of free Japanese real-life photos, as well as various event themes, such as fireworks, festivals, cherry blossoms, red leaves, etc., not only for personal use, but also for commercial use.
“Unmaterial Photo Materials” provides high-resolution photos of various attractions and events in Japan, which are suitable for commercial and personal use.
After entering the Unmaterial Photo Materials website, you will see material categories for each theme on the homepage, such as “Christmas”, “Red Leaves”, “Sakura”, “Marine Life”, “Fireworks”, “Festivals”, “Cats” and “Horses”, etc. If the photos you want to use happen to be of these themes, you can directly click in to find related photos:
Cat theme, a lot of cat photos, this should be used many times, not only limited to Japanese themes:
The same goes for fireworks. Also, I would like to remind you that most Japanese photo materials are not retouched, that is, they are taken directly and follow the truth. Therefore, they are different from the photos provided by foreign material websites such as Unsplash and Pexels:
Click “Photo Materials” above to view all categories. There are currently 15 categories: “Light, nature, plants, towns and buildings, vehicles, Japanese style, sports, animals, animals (birds), fish, marine life and others, other types of fish, insects, food and others.” People who cannot read Japanese can use the full page translation:
There are also snowy scenes. Each photo will indicate the resolution. The label below may also indicate where the photo was taken. For example, the following pictures were all taken in Ikebukuro (but I am not sure if the label is correct, so I suggest you refer to it unless you have an impression of the scenery). The naming of each photo material is also very special. The name is the same at the beginning, and different numbers are used at the end:
After you find a photo you like, go to the inner page and download it for use:

In addition to this one, we have previously introduced another Japanese photo material website “PAKUTASO” that is also very good. It has a large number of photos of oriental faces.For a detailed introduction, you can click here to read：
For the Japanese landscape photos, there is also another Photock website that you can refer to. The photos on this website look very good, and the quality is a little higher than the “unmaterial photo materials”. If you can’t find the unmaterial photo materials, you can look for them here:
Finally, I would like to remind you that before using this kind of free photo material, remember to confirm the authorization. If you need to attach the source, you must attach it. Infringement will be very troublesome.
