What's the Story?
Tokyo’s streets take on another life after dark. Wandering the neon-lit back streets of Kabukicho, the city’s major red light and entertainment district, one gets a sense of a world hidden amidst the neon haze. Seemingly secret passages lead away from the lights and into an underworld of wires and cramped locales, frequented by the denizens of the night.
What We'll Shoot
We will explore creative ways of shooting street photography in the night-scape of Tokyo’s most colorful districts. In addition to understanding the ideal settings for night street photography, we will learn how to creatively use reflections, and how to capture silhouettes while shooting in high contrast or very dark conditions.
Where We'll Explore
We'll delve into the heart of Shinjuku and Shibuya. We start off at Shinjuku Station, head towards Kabukicho, and end up in Omoideyokocho (Memory Lane). After that we'll go by train to Shibuya and ending our journey in the famous scramble crossing.

5.00This tour was a fantastic experience. Charles was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and cheerful, and he has a clear passion for photography. He gave me some fantastic tips on using my phone camera and how to get the best shots, and he helped me get amazing photos that I've sent to my family and friends back home. If you want to see Tokyo through a different lens, quite literally, and explore the intricate twists and turns around the maze of Shinjuku and Shibuya, then this is the tour for you.

5.00You do not need any photography experience to enjoy this tour, and you will still come away with exceptional pictures and a new perspective on documenting your trip. The guide was fantastic—knowledgeable about both cameras and the local area. He was friendly and easy to talk to. You do not need a DSLR; everything is navigable with a point-and-shoot or phone camera. The photos attached to this review were taken with an iPhone 13Pro.
Great first night with experienced photographer.

5.00Charles was phenomenal. He was attentive, knowledgeable and patient. Really enjoyed my evening with him and got some epic shots. I had literally just gotten off the plane, first time in Japan and hadn’t slept for over 18 hours and we didn’t miss a beat. Highly suggest this tour and would hang with Charles any day😁
Completely adequate night tour
