Traveler reviews
Gota-san is amazing
I had an amazing experience with Gota-san! 📸 He was quick and efficient with taking photos and took me to so many beautiful places, including some hidden and secret spots that I would never have found on my own. He was very polite, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire session. He communicated really well and made me feel comfortable, while also capturing some of the best shots. He has a very natural style of photography, so the photos didn’t feel forced or overly posed. The two hours passed so quickly that I didn’t even realize how much time had gone by! Gota-san is an amazing photographer who knows how to find beautiful locations and capture the moment perfectly. I’m really happy with the photos and the overall experience. ありがとうございました！ 🇯🇵📸
Photos trip with a fantastic photographer
The tour was taken by a nice tour guide Gota, photos are fantastic and wonderful, love these photos so much.
What a lovely tour!
We loved our tour with Gota! He was an excellent guide and had wonderful energy. He told us a lot about the different neighborhoods of Tokyo and answered our questions about the city and local culture. He was an excellent photographer and walked us through different poses to help us get the most out of our photos. He was prompt in sending the pictures when he said he would. We’re very happy we chose this experience. We also loved the small tour size!
photo tour
Joining this photoshoot tour as a solo traveler was hands down one of the best decisions of my trip! I was a bit nervous about being in front of the camera alone, but the photographer made me feel super comfortable right from the start. They knew all the best angles and hidden spots. I received high-quality, cinematic photos that I could never have taken myself with a tripod or selfie stick. Highly recommended for anyone traveling solo!
One fantastic night in Tokyo
Gota-san was extremely fun to work with. Gota-san took incredible photos with his own equipment and constantly made us laugh, making it a fun and comfortable environment. Gota-san even ended the night by walking the extra distance to show us a favorite ramen spot. We really liked working with Gota-san and absolutely will work with him the next time we come back to Tokyo!!!
