Photos taken so far
This time, we are joined by Jason, the organizer and photographer of the Snapshot Service! Thank you very much for your time.
Let's take a look at the photos!
Overwhelming popularity! Shibuya Scramble Crossing
Shibuya Scramble Crossing is by far the most popular photo spot. It is a spot where you can take pictures with Tokyo's typical skyscrapers, colorful billboards, and many people passing by in the background.
Neon background
The neon district at night is also very Tokyo-like and a recommended photo spot. You can take pictures with large buildings in the background, or you can take great pictures in the alleys and side streets lined with small stores.
Daytime side streets are also recommended.
Yokocho, alley lined with izakaya (Japanese style pubs), has a nice atmosphere at night when the red lanterns are lit, but visiting during the daytime is also recommended. If you like a chaotic atmosphere, be sure to check it out.
Pedestrian Bridge
The pedestrian bridge is one of the most popular spots for photography. From this angle, you can capture stunning photos directly above the road, featuring open spaces and skyscrapers in the background.
Looking down on Tokyo from a high place
One of the unique views of Tokyo is the view from the observatory. Particularly recommended is Shibuya Sky, located on the top floor of Shibuya Scramble Square! You can see the sky and the Tokyo cityscape beyond the glass wall.
*Note: Admission fees to the specific facility are not included in our service. You will be responsible for covering these costs.
Theme parks
We can accompany you on photo shoots even inside theme parks, which are popular tourist attractions. We will take commemorative photo snapshots.
*Admission fees are not included.
Shooting in uniquely Japanese locations
As well as the Shibuya Scramble Crossing and the Tokyo Tower, the Holiday Travel staff also recommends shooting in a typically Japanese setting.
"Japanese Vibes" can be diverse, and we have taken many photos in the past. We would like to introduce them to you by scene.
Cherry Blossom
Cherry blossom season is a time of year when we receive many inquiries, especially for our snapshot service. While it is difficult to predict the exact timing of the full bloom, and challenging to time it perfectly, it is possible to capture incredibly beautiful photos.
Wear a Kimono or Yukata and blend in with Tokyo!
Kimono and yukata rental is a popular activity in Tokyo. If you have the opportunity to wear a kimono or yukata, you should definitely take advantage of our snapshot shooting service. Wearing a kimono or yukata adds a special atmosphere to your photos, making them even more memorable.
Scenery scattered throughout the city
Typical Japanese scenery is scattered throughout the city. Temples, food stalls, even in front of izakaya (Japanese-style pubs). Everywhere is a photo spot. Although not the most famous spots, such scenery is also very Japanese, isn't it?
Riverside
Although the eye tends to be drawn to the high-rise buildings, the riverside is another typical Tokyo scenery. Each bridge across the river has its own unique character, so we recommend taking pictures with your favorite bridge in the background.
A casual place
Even street corners that seem to have no name can be photographed wonderfully. In front of a retro store, a bus stop, next to a vending machine, or a small park. Photographs that seem to blend in with everyday life in Japan are also memorable.
Family Photo
Finally, many people may think of snapshot services as being for individuals or couples, but we recommend using this service for families and groups! It's also a great way to save money when you use the service with a large group of people.
In this issue, we have presented photos taken by our snapshot service. These are just a few examples of the photos we have taken. There are many more wonderful places to take pictures in Tokyo, so please feel free to consult with us about the best photo spots and take advantage of our Snapshot Plan.
Bonus
This is me during the photo shoot. I put my body on the line everyday to take great pictures!
