Shibuya & Shinjuku Photo Walk: A Self-Guided Route

A 3-hour self-guided photography walk through Tokyo's two most iconic neighborhoods — what to shoot, when, and where.

Tokyo is one of the most photographed destinations in the world, and for good reason. Whether you're a seasoned travel photographer or picking up your camera for the first time on holiday, this in-depth guide covers everything you need to know.

Quick tip: Golden Gai's narrow alleys are best shot handheld with a fast prime after 9 PM when the bars' signs are fully lit.
