Tokyo’s streets take on another life after dark. Wandering the neon-lit back streets of Kabukicho, the city’s major red light and entertainment district, one gets a sense of a world hidden amidst the neon haze. Seemingly secret passages lead away from the lights and into an underworld of wires and cramped locales, frequented by the denizens of the night. We will explore creative ways of shooting street photography in the night-scape of Tokyo’s most colorful districts. In addition to understanding the ideal settings for night street photography, we will learn how to creatively use reflections, and how to capture silhouettes while shooting in high contrast or very dark conditions. We'll delve into the heart of Shinjuku and Shibuya. We start off at Shinjuku Station, head towards Kabukicho, and end up in Omoideyokocho (Memory Lane). After that we'll go by train to Shibuya and ending our journey in the famous scramble crossing.

Our guide was not only great at knowing the area and the places that were best to shoot - he could tell each of the three of us that were in the group how to improve where we were - and we were all really different. We went to several different places in Shinjuku and Shibuya that were good for getting some great photos (and I wouldn’t have ever found), picking up the energy of the place, and turning it into a good photo that reflects what the place is like. It was one of the nicest tours I have been on.
Good selection of locations, creative prompts and conversation with guide Charles. If you want some great shots of your trip to Tokyo, book this one now.
Charles was great. Knew all the spots and helped with camera settings. It had just rained and we were able to take advantage of the water and get some really cool shots.
The Tokyo Cyberpunk Street Photo Workshop was one of the best experiences of my trip. Charles was an outstanding guide and an excellent photography instructor. He shared practical tips that helped me improve my photography, from composition and lighting to making the most of Tokyo's incredible neon-lit streets. Beyond photography, Charles also shared fascinating insights into Tokyo's nightlife, culture, and the stories behind the neighborhoods we explored. His knowledge and passion made the entire experience both educational and fun. Charles was friendly, patient, and always willing to answer questions. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced photographer, I highly recommend this tour. It's a fantastic way to capture Tokyo's unique atmosphere while learning from a great guide.
Had a great time. Locations were pre-scouted and excellent. Enjoyed the tips to improve my street photography
The workshop was great! We walked a lot, and I learned so much about techniques, framing, and camera settings. The places we photographed were absolutely incredible.
Great experience with a wonderful guide who explained every stop we made. Well worth the money and got to see all aspects of Tokyo’s nightlife.
I cannot recommend this tour and this company enough. I have taken four trips with Charles he is extremely friendly and a great teacher. I am a serious photographer and he taught me many things and I went with my brother only uses his phone and he enjoyed the tour very much. I can also highly recommend Lee and the old Tokyo tour, which is amazing. I also took a tour in Kyoto with a guide, who I unfortunately cannot remember his name, and we went to an absolutely amazing temple, and there was only one other visitor during the timewe explore the temple. If you know Kyoto, you know how amazing that is as you can tell I highly recommend this company and all ofthe guides I have gone with have been superb.
Really enjoyed the locations we visited and the shots I was able to take. Charles was an excellent guide and helpful with camera settings. I definitely want to go back.
