Tokyo Tour Guide:

Jeff, a long-time resident of Tokyo, is a well-regarded street photographer who leads photo workshops and classes and showcases his cherished city as a Tokyo tour guide. With Jeff, you will surely enjoy everything that Omiya has to offer.

Photo Tour Details:

You can use any type of camera, including a smartphone like an iPhone, a full-frame digital camera, a traditional film camera, or a mirrorless camera. A versatile lens with a focal length between 24 mm and 70 mm is ideal for capturing a wide range of shots. While specialty lenses and filters can enhance your photography with creative effects, they are not essential for achieving outstanding results.  

We will meet at the Omiya Information Center, located centrally in Omiya Station. Below is a map with a blue star marking the location.

Services:

Our photo tour guide, Jeff, will lead you on a three-hour walking tour, sharing his extensive knowledge of photography and all the best picture-taking locations, as well as Omiya's cultural and historical aspects.

This tour is private, but travelling companions are welcome to join.

The tour length is 3 hours.
