Shibuya Photo Tour Details:

We will meet at the Hachiko Statue just outside Japan Railways Shibuya Station, Hachiko exit. The tour will begin immediately, with the first of many locations steps away. We will explore each spot, spending as much time as needed to get a great shot. Our tour guide has hand-selected each location.  

You can use any camera you have on hand, whether a smartphone like an iPhone, a full-frame digital camera, a traditional film camera, or a mirrorless model. A versatile lens with a focal length of 24 mm to 70 mm will be ideal for capturing various shots. While you can enhance your photography with specialty lenses and filters for creative effects, they are optional for achieving outstanding results.

An image of Hachiko and a map marked with a red star are included in the media below.

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

The tour will last 3.0 hours, starting and ending at the Hachiko exit.
