About this experience

Welcome to the bustling, mysterious, romantic city of contrasts I call home, Tokyo.

Photography is my profession but more importantly my passion and I'm confident the work I deliver will be unique and worthy of the time and money invested in capturing your best memories. Whether you are solo, a group of friends, or needing engagement memories!

I'm offering my original style of portrait photography in known and some very unknown places. As I host Tokyo's largest twice weekly photography meetup all over the city, I know these streets intimately. I love connecting with people and seeing them shine through the lens as we create wonderful art together!

You absolutely don't need to be a model or have any experience as I'll be there to guide you every step of the way.

I will also give you a lot of insights into Japan and the local culture!

Lastly, the tour can absolutely be tailor-made to your specific requirements. Please note that the tour is up to 60 minutes in total.

Available options

What's included

10 high res (per person) professionally re-touched photos chosen by you

Detailed itinerary

While I usually love to take my clients to Shinjuku to see famed places like Omoide-Yokocho, Kabukicho and Golden Gai this tour can be customized for any part of Tokyo including other famous and not so famous areas. Day or night. Prefer the calm serenity of a photoshoot and tour at a temple to the bustling city aesthetic? That is no problem! I host Tokyos largest photography meetup twice weekly at various parts of the city so I know a lot of great spots to tour if somewhere outside Shinjuku is preferred.

Stop 2

Otherwise called Memory Lane is a charming and small alleyway of cramped little bars and eateries in Shinjuku where people meet for drinks and dinner for a quintessential Tokyo experience.

Kabukicho in Shinjuku is the most densely packed, neon-burning, boisterous yet safest red-light district in Asia and, possibly, in the world. Very tourist friendly and a must see!
