Overview

This tour begins at a chartered cyberpunk style bar. The bar, which looks like the world of the Blade Runner movie, will not only provide you with the most amazing photos you can get anywhere else, but will also conduct an interview with you over drinks to find out what kind of photos you are looking for. Specifically, we will help you choose the photo spots to visit and figure out what kind of mood you are looking for so that we can make your tour more satisfying. After leaving the first bar, you will be taken on a photo tour of some of the most iconic and at the same time lesser known spots in the heart of Tokyo. Your English-speaking local guide/photographer will take photos of each spot and share information that only a local would know, so you will leave the tour not only with great photos, but also with local knowledge about each spot.

Well worth the money

Published on Dec, 2024

I had a great time with Gota-san and love my photos. It was well worth the money. Not only is he a great photographer he was also a great tour guy. He would show you how to pose, too. He speaks very good English. He took me around several areas to snap photos, and I got to choose 1 of 3 locations for the last area. Gota-san was very accommodating. There was one photo I really wanted and I showed him a sample photo of it. He granted my wish for that!

It was overall good.

Published on Dec, 2024

Our photographer Gota was very enthusiastic. Although some spots for taking pictures brought me skepticism, the final results were satisfactory.

Fantastic Photo Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Gota was our guide and photographer. He was a lovely person, showed us the sights and took amazing photos. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Fun night exploring Shinjuku

Published on Dec, 2024

For a fun night out in Shinjuku area, including temples, hideaway bars, glitzy neon cityscapes, and swinging along with the colorful and vibrant crowds that are Tokyo nightlife, go on a photography tour with Gota. It would take you weeks to discover the places Gota showed us in a few entertaining hours. 10 out of 10!

Such a good experience

Published on Nov, 2024

This was perfect as a solo traveller with no one to take photos of me through the trip. Gota knew the best spots, and had amazing timing in getting great shots. Worth doing for sure!
