As travel restrictions are lifted, many people are now traveling to Japan. Therefore, many websites, blogs, and even companies will produce Japan-related themes. At this time, they will need to use Japanese real-life photos, and you may not have the right ones at hand. You can refer to the “Photosku” Japanese photo gallery website introduced in this article. It has collected more than 7,000 free photo materials. There are many categories. Most of them are Japanese real-life photos and are high-resolution. It is no problem for personal or commercial use.
Photosku is a Japanese stock photo website that collects more than 7,000 free photo materials. It provides a large number of Japanese real-life photos for personal and commercial use.
Although Photosku does not provide Chinese and English, Japanese has many Chinese characters, so you can more or less see what type of photos it is. After entering the homepage, there is a complete category on the left, including landscapes, sky and mountains, oceans and rivers, buildings, cities, buildings and facilities, even shrines and churches. There are currently more than 7,000 photos in total. Each category will also be marked with how many photos there are, with landscapes and buildings being the most common:
After entering the category menu, all matching photos will be listed on the left, and the categories will be on the right.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. Copy the Japanese name and then paste it in the search bar to search. This is the fastest:
The authorization section can be found on the scope of use page.

There are of course prohibited parts, such as re-sharing, reselling and selling, and using original or largely untouched photos as works or copyrighted works. Remember to read in detail before use:
