Excellent tour!

Gota-san was very knowledgeable throughout the tour and taught me various facts about the city along the stops. The photos were fantastic, and definitely good to show others. Gota-San was good at directing my photos, as I had never done a photoshoot before. I’d recommend this tour if you’re looking for a nice chill easy way to get some really good photos and learn about the city along the way!

Must Do Photo Tour

Incredible experience!! Gota did an amazing job of setting up the shot, so even if you’re a little awkward in front of the camera you’re told how to pose and where to stand. The edited pictures were sent the next day! Also functions as mini tour of Shinjuku. Incredible tour especially for what you pay.

Fun and toddler friendly!

Our photographer Gota was super nice! He took great photos of our family and our baby. I was worried about how cranky she was going to be due to the jet lag, but Gota was incredibly patient and mindful.

Had a great experience with Friday! He took fabulous photos and went with the flow. We really enjoyed our time together and he is so chill. My teen girls really appreciated his style in taking photos especially!
