I had an amazing experience during my photo shoot and tour around Shinjuku with photographer Gota. From the very beginning, Gota's professionalism and friendly approach made the entire experience enjoyable. He took me through the hidden gems of Shinjuku, especially the fascinating back alleys that I would have never found on my own. His knowledge of the area was incredible, offering rich insights into the culture, history, and local spots.
Not only did I get great photos, but I also learned so much about the neighborhood's vibe and unique corners. Gota made sure to capture the perfect shots while allowing me to explore the area at my own pace. It felt more like a personal tour than just a photo session, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to explore Shinjuku from a local's perspective!

This is a great tour for all who want to experience Shinjuku and Shibuya at night. Rai and Charlie are great photographers with very creative ways of taking photos of you. I found the tour extremely fun and enjoyable. I am very fortunate to have two great photographers taking great photos of me. I recommend this tour for people who want to have memories of their time in Tokyo and who also want great photos of themselves.
Thank you Rai and Charlie!

Our photographer was Gota-san, very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. It was a small group (total 4), with 3 from my side. Gota-san's English was remarkable, so communication was smooth. We were very pleased with the photos taken around the streets of Shinjuku, and definitely worth the price we paid. Furthermore, his post-processing speed was insane, we got all the photos under 4 hours!
Since we came as a family of 3, we were really happy with the family portraits!

The nighttime photography tour of Shinjuku was an unforgettable experience that beautifully captured the vibrant essence of Tokyo after dark. Gota was a knowledgeable guide and led us through the district's neon-lit streets, revealing hidden gems and perfect photo spots. The tour was well-paced, offering ample time to experience different locations, and the capture the dynamic energy of Shinjuku's nightlife. From bright billboards to bustling alleyways, every moment was a visual feast. This tour is a great way for anyone wanting to capture Tokyo's nighttime magic. Highly recommended!

Gota-san was absolutely amazing! Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about every corner of Shinjuku, but he's also super friendly and fun to be around. He kept us laughing and made us feel comfortable the entire time. But what really blew us away was his talent with the camera—he took some stunning photos, capturing moments and details we would have missed on our own. He's not just a photographer, he's an artist! If you're looking for someone to show you around Shinjuku like a local and give you incredible photo memories, Gota-san is the perfect choice!

My photography tour with Goto was excellent. He showed me around Shinjuku, provided interesting information about the places we visited, and captured fantastic photos that made me look like a rockstar. Truly a profesional, and I encourage anyone who wants to capture their Japan visit in photos to take this tour. Highly recommended!

What a great evening! Gota-San made sure we all had a lot of fun and got to know more about the wonderful area of Shinjuku. Not only he is a professional photographer, he’s a true artist. The play of light, the angles… I don’t know how he managed to take so many stunning shots in the time we had, but I’m in awe :)

Gota was an amazing guide. Not only did I love how the photos turned out, the tour was also fun and informative. I had been staying in the area for 5 days and saw so many places I would have never seen on my own and learned a lot. He knew exactly where to get the best shots and knew what poses would look best effortlessly. Would recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo.

I knew I wanted some decent photos for my first trip to Japan but also knew that would be a challenge traveling solo. While I was a little worried it would feel awkward touring around with someone taking photos of me (especially since I was the only person signed up for my tour time), Shogo quickly eased those fears. To be clear, I do not like taking photos of myself and even my social media posts are few and far between. Shogo made it easy and gave me as much direction as I needed while also giving me options. Not only did the photos turn out great, but the information he gave about the city/area was interesting and helpful. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to add a professional touch to their vacation photos.
