Additional Information

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.

Great Experience - We had the pleasure not only to meet our guide & photographer Rai but also Gota, a professional photographer as well but trainee on the tour, which doubled the fun. Both did an amazing job and we felt so welcomed, comfortabel and well instructed. Rai came up with a lot of different ideas regarding location and posing so you don't need to worry if you are no professional supermodel ;-)

Epic night exploring Shibuya and Shinjuku - Had a blast exploring Shibuya and Shinjuku with Rai - he was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Aside from this, Rai went out of his way to help, recommend and support my travel plans around Tokyo; making awesome suggestions! It really was like walking around Tokyo with an old friend. Plus, the photos were beautiful! Highly recommend this tour with Rai!

Had a fantastic tour with Remi! Great for solo travelers! - I met up with as the instructing said to in front of the uniqlo in shinjuku and waited for Remi to arrive once she did she formally introduced herself and told me what would be going on for the tour. She immediately started taking pictures and told me to keep doing particular poses (of which of course I was more than happy to do :) ) we went down allergy and into certain areas were it wasn’t busy to get some great shots in front of shrines, lanterns etc. My favorite places was to get pictures in ikebukuro & Shibuya with all the signs in the background! It made for some awesome pictures and she captured a lot of what I wanted. This worked out for me because I’m a solo traveler so it’s more difficult to get good pictures. I’m more than happy with the $57 I paid for this it was absolutely worth it. I got great edited pics ( I’ll add a few examples) it totally beats asking strangers to take pics of you lol. Thanks Remi for the pics!
