What an awesome experience!!
Gota is an absolute legend at photography. He made the entire tour feel like fun. I’m an introvert and do not know how to pose for pictures, BUT Gota came to the rescue. He showed me how to pose and made the entire thing very comfortable for me. This is truly a must do for anyone looking to capture unique moments while in Tokyo.
