Duration: 1 hours (approx.)

Hi, I’m a photographer based in Tokyo, and I have a deep passion for capturing the city’s unique charm through the eyes of visitors. I started this journey because, while many tourists come to Tokyo, I noticed that most photo services only offer a simple record of their travels. I wanted to do something different that truly reflects the pulse of the city. Tokyo is constantly changing, and I believe it’s our job as photographers to capture those shifts, from the latest cultural trends to the evolving street styles. What excites me most is rediscovering Tokyo through your eyes. Every time I walk through the city, whether it’s a familiar place like Asakusa, Shinjuku, Roppongi or Shibuya, I’m reminded of how beautiful and dynamic it is, especially at night. The city completely transforms after dark. I’m looking forward to taking photos with you that not only document your time in Tokyo but truly reflect the spirit of this incredible city. Let’s make memories that you’ll cherish forever.
