Shinjuku Night Photo Tour with Local Photographer

The tour starts at Miraion Lion Square, just a short walk from the East Exit of JR Shinjuku Station (A9). Look for your guide near the Lion Statue holding a red or orange sign that says “Magical Trip.” After a quick welcome and tour overview, you’ll be ready to explore Tokyo’s exciting night scenes.

Your first stop is a private cyberpunk-themed bar that feels like stepping into a sci-fi movie. Enjoy a drink while your guide talks with you about the kind of photos you’d like. The neon lights and cool décor make it a perfect spot for unique and creative pictures. Next, visit a peaceful local shrine for a quiet break from the busy city. Your guide will take great photos of you in this beautiful traditional setting and share a little about its history and culture.

Walk through the lively streets of Kabukicho and the small, charming alleys of Golden Gai. These spots are full of energy and character. Your guide will take photos of you while showing you hidden gems and sharing fun local stories.

You can pick one of two routes for the second half of the tour. Route A explores Shinjuku’s west side, which is full of tall skyscrapers and ends with stunning city views from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Route B takes you to the famous Shibuya Crossing and its buzzing streets for exciting and dynamic photos.
