Top Tokyo Photography Tours

What a great experience with the crew at @japan.kart on helping a big party of 9 to really enjoy Shinjuku and Tokyo tower! The karts were fast enough to keep us out of trouble but also provide the excitement. Highly recommend doing this with your loved ones. Just be aware, if you decide to wear their onesies (which is a must) there are no other pockets to put your phone or devices that are easily reached. They do have free.chest harnesses for phones and works pretty good. All in all, we’ve never had so many smiling faces and stoke!!

Our guide Aoi took such great care of us in Harajuku. She was super sweet, had lots of information to share about the area (and great conversation in general). We ended up with a private tour as the other group was a no show. The kids had a great time shopping and Aoi had some fun surprises for us along the way. A nice introduction to the area and a pleasant way to spend the morning.

Be prepared to walk a lot. Having said that, the scenery was beautiful. Next time, will return during the fall, I think it would be pretty with the fall foliage. Bek, our driver was great! We finished on time and saw everything on the itinerary without feeling rushed.

I really enjoyed the experience. The photographer did a great job explaining our route ahead of time with a map and gave helpful reminders along the way. Our group was small (just four of us), and we instantly clicked — encouraging each other, cheering each other on, and swapping pose ideas. It truly felt like making new friends in the middle of Tokyo! The pace of the tour was very fast though. We quickly moved through each location by walking or subway - so be sure to wear comfortable shoes!. It kept the energy high, but just know there wasn’t much time to settle into a pose or think too much about different angles since each person needed to get their turn in the shot. One thing to note: the tour was advertised as about 2.5 hours, but ours ended after 90 minutes. We skipped one of the planned stops due to a festival in the area, which was totally fine, so it would’ve been great to use that extra time at Shibuya Crossing. We all really really wanted more shots there, but we only got one chance each as we crossed. So having a second time to cross would have been more ideal. But overall, the experience was amazing, memorable and fun!

My partner and I like to start any trip with a walking tour to get our bearings and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with Taka. We learned so much about architecture and development in Tokyo as well as the famous architects and designers that have left their mark on Harajuku. I highly recommend this tour, particularly for those interested in getting a bit more context on the built environment.

If you are looking for an awesome photographer in Tokyo, Deniz is your guy! Professional, courteous, accommodating, fun, and incredibly kind. I had to reschedule twice due to conflicts, and he was super understanding (as long as his schedule allowed). He took the time to ask exactly what we were looking for—and he delivered perfectly. Highly recommend!

JOE IS SIMPLY THE BEST!!! I had the pleasure of partnering with his help during my mother and my recent trip to Tokyo. I had booked the timeslot and was concerned if there might be rain, but Joe was incredibly helpful, understanding, and supportive. He was the ultimate professional. His recommendations on locations, poses, angles, timing and more were fantastic, accurate and much appreciated for him going above and beyond. The pictures we received are absolutely amazing!!! He surpassed our expectations! I've hired other photographers from other cities while traveling and it's been a mixed experience. But Joe is absolutely gifted and our most favorite photographer by some margin. What was the most impressive was he approached me like a friend, gave great recommendations of sites and restaurants around the city, and offered to be of any help if we had any questions. My only regret is that I did not meet Joe earlier. Joe exemplifies outstanding care, class, and integrity. I have recommended my friends and family of his stellar quality of work, and will be sure to partner with him again on the next Tokyo trip.

Great experience. Hard to find the venue when following the GPS coordinates, the address was only slightly helpful. There was no sign out advertising the business so the taxi driver went out of his way to locate it for us on foot. Very nice of him. Perhaps the business needed a sandwich board out front or something.
