Tokyo Photo Tour

Hidden Tokyo: Shiodome & Hamarikyu Garden, A Guided Photo Tour.

Hidden Tokyo: Shiodome & Hamarikyu Garden, A Guided Photo Tour.

Guided Photo Tour: Shiodome & Hamarikyu Garden

This area represents a blend of Tokyo's most modern and traditional locations. We begin by exploring the futuristic skyscrapers of Shiodome, known for their excellent architectural and street photography opportunities, capturing images of trains, people, and unique perspectives. Our next stop is Hamarikyu Gardens, a traditional garden adjacent to Shiodome, providing a picturesque juxtaposition of old and new against the backdrop of Tokyo.

Shiodome & Hamarikyu Garden Photo Tour Details:

We will meet at Japan Railways' Shimbashi station at the Shiodome exit and proceed to the stunning buildings of Shiodome. These structures are interconnected by tunnels and pedestrian walkways, providing excellent opportunities for street, people, architecture, long exposure, and even Shinkansen (bullet train) photography. 

When visiting the nearby cultural heritage site, Hamarikyu Garden, one can enjoy a traditional Japanese garden with long winding paths, seasonal flowers, ancient trees, ponds, and a tea house. In the background, the Shiodome site beautifully brings traditional and modern elements together in the same scene.

Tokyo Tour Guide:

Jeff, a long-time Tokyo resident, 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 Shiodome and Hamrikyu offer.

You have the freedom to choose any camera at your disposal—whether it’s 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 is exceptional for capturing a diverse array of stunning shots. While specialty lenses and filters can enhance your photography with creative effects, they are not essential for achieving remarkable results. Embrace the tools you have and boldly immerse yourself in the art of capturing breathtaking images!

We will meet at Shinbashi Station, Shiodome Exit, next to the train wheels. An image of the meeting spot is included below.

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

The tour length is 3.0 hours.
