What to expect

Explore Tokyo through film photography with a local photographer.

This small-group (max 3 people) walking experience takes place in Asakusa, one of Tokyo’s most atmospheric neighborhoods. Using vintage film cameras, you will walk through backstreets, temples, and local alleys while learning how to see light, geometry, and everyday life differently.

Each participant will receive:

1 roll of 35mm film (24 exposures)
Film camera rental
Basic photography guidance
Choice of digital scans OR developed film negatives

We start near the Sumida River, walk through Asakusa’s hidden streets and Senso-ji area, and finish around Hoppy Street.

This is a guided photography experience, not a professional photoshoot. You will take your own photos while learning techniques for composition, light, and timing.

This experience is ideal for travelers who want a slower, more intentional, and personal way to experience Tokyo.
