Tokyo Private photo tour with Nightstreet Neon photographer

Starting with the basics, this one-hour private photo tour in Tokyo offers a unique way to immortalize your visit through the lens of a local photographer. For $211 per person, you get a customized experience tailored to your interests—be it vibrant neon streets, peaceful parks, or scenic cityscapes. Led by Okawara Hiroyuki, a knowledgeable guide and talented photographer, this tour promises over 100 original photos delivered via online album, along with 15 high-quality edited images.

Two things we really love about this experience are the flexibility of location choices—since it’s a private tour, you can pick the areas that matter most—and the focus on night photography, which captures Tokyo’s iconic neon-lit streets and cyberpunk vibes. The second highlight is the relaxed approach to posing: Hiroyuki offers helpful advice on interesting compositions, making sure you look natural and confident in your photos.

A potential consideration is the tour’s short duration—at just 1 hour, it’s a quick snapshot rather than a deep dive into Tokyo’s photo hotspots. So, if you’re after a comprehensive shoot of multiple districts, this might feel a bit limited. However, for those seeking stunning night shots or special moments with friends or loved ones, it hits the mark.

This experience is ideal for couples on honeymoon, families, or groups of friends who want professional-quality photos in a relaxed, personalized setting. If you love neon lights, urban scenes, or are curious about night photography, this tour is a smart choice.

Daytime Photo Opportunities

While nighttime shots are the main event, daytime sessions are also available. You might visit parks or quieter streets to capture seasonal or scenic photos. If you’re interested in wearing traditional attire like kimono or yukata, Hiroyuki can direct you to rental shops—adding a cultural layer to your shoot.

The Photo Delivery and Value

A big plus is the timely delivery of your photos. You’ll receive a link within 5 days, hosting more than 100 original images. From these, you can select 15 favorites for editing and high-resolution download within two weeks.
