Full description

This is a 1-hour experience from Tokyo, built around Hidden gem. It is run by Holiday Travel, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.

The price covers Private photoshoot, 100~150, Photo enhancement, Up to 10 photos can be edited and Editing includes color temperature and tone adjustments only. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off, ※The photographer will meet you directly at the location, Please note that pick-up service from your accommodation is and Transportation costs and admission fees, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

日本、東京都. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Holiday Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The Shibuya photoshoot turned out really well and was a great experience overall. We captured some amazing crossing shots right while walking through the iconic Shibuya Crossing. The photographer guided us to try our best and time the shots perfectly. We also explored the surrounding areas and got some great candid photos there. One of the highlights was going up a high-rise building for a stunning bird’s-eye view shot. The mix of street-level energy and skyline perspective made the photos unique. Overall, highly recommended for anyone wanting memorable Tokyo shots.

The photoshoot experience was very nice. Our photographer was Izumi and she subtly displays a very adept knowledge for photography. We were able to communicate the shots we have in mind. The photoshoot was also scheduled strategically that the weather matched with our desired mood for the photos. We recommend this service.

Nakamura-san was wonderful to work with at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. He was patient, friendly, and had a great artistic eye. He went the extra mile to capture beautiful shots, and the photos turned out amazing. Highly recommended!

Atsuko was so great and patient with us as we needed a lot of direction for photos. Our photo site was very crowded during the cherry blossom season, but she was able to coordinate and make it work. I got my photos the very same day and retouched photos the following day. I would absolutely recommend to others!

the guide gave a lot of tips for new locations. also he was earlier there then the appointment was, so we could start earlier. even if my fotoshooting was kinda special (motorcycle in middle of a crowded area) he did it very good. later i geard that he is specialized on vehicles, so i think thats the reason. totally recommending this guy :-)

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or late October to early December for autumn colour and the clearest skies. Contrary to most advice, October is Tokyo's wettest month (234.8 mm), not the June rainy season. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Tokyo guide.
Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card and budget ¥1,000–¥1,400 a day. Do not buy a JR Pass for a Tokyo-only trip — it costs ¥50,000 and excludes Tokyo Metro and Toei entirely. Note JR East raised Tokyo fares on 14 March 2026, so Metro is now cheaper than JR on several routes. See getting around Tokyo.
Shibuya Sky releases tickets only 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST — it cannot be booked months in advance. teamLab Borderless tickets drop at 12:00 JST on the 1st of each month. Our 3-day Tokyo itinerary lists every booking deadline.
Yes — a Japanese licence or an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. 1968 Vienna Convention permits are not valid in Japan. Licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan need an official JAF translation instead. Arrange it before you fly; see the Tokyo go-kart guide.
Yes — the highway bus from Busta Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko takes about 1h 45m for ¥2,200. But manage expectations: Fuji is visible on 84% of December mornings and only 23% of July mornings, and cloud builds through the day, so go early. Details in our Mount Fuji day trip guide.
Edomae sushi (the Tokyo Bay style, where curing began as a workaround for having no refrigeration), monjayaki — a runny griddle dish unique to Tokyo with 80+ specialists on Tsukishima's Monja Street — and soba. Also worth knowing: Tsukiji Outer Market never closed; only the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu. See the Tokyo food guide.
The crossing itself takes about ninety seconds. What makes it worth an evening is one street back — Nonbei Yokocho, a lantern-lit alley of tiny bars a minute away that almost nobody who photographs the scramble walks into. Note street drinking is banned in the area 18:00–05:00 year-round, though the ordinance carries no fine. See the Shibuya Crossing guide.
Yes, some. Japan's cashless ratio reached 58% in 2025, so over 40% of payments are still cash — and card refusal is most likely at small independent izakaya, ramen ticket machines and market stalls. Tipping is not expected anywhere.
