Tokyo’s streets take on another life after dark. Wandering the neon-lit back streets of Kabukicho, the city’s major red light and entertainment district, one gets a sense of a world hidden amidst the neon haze. Seemingly secret passages lead away from the lights and into an underworld of wires and cramped locales, frequented by the denizens of the…

Tokyo at night...the illuminated" experience. - Great time strolling the city at night and taking photos. Of the four of us, I was the only photographer with a "pro" camera. The rest just enjoyed the tour and used their phones. However, with respect to the camera settings, the guide was spot on with his adjustments and settings. It certainly brought out the feel of Tokyo for a newbie like me. Better yet, as a primary landscape guy, I have found some new skills to use in cities.

Great opportunity to grab shots from Tokyo nightlife. - I’m not a photographer, but tagged along with a relative to experience Tokyo in an awesome way. They take you to both main thoroughfares and back alleys to see the nightlife and special picturesque areas you’d probably never see otherwise. The guide(s) are English speaking and in fact westerners. They have great insight into the city and culture. A lot of walking but worth it! Really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone.

Exceptional experience for anyone (photographer or not!) to document their Tokyo trip. - You do not need any photography experience to enjoy this tour, and you will still come away with exceptional pictures and a new perspective on documenting your trip. The guide was fantastic—knowledgeable about both cameras and the local area. He was friendly and easy to talk to. You do not need a DSLR; everything is navigable with a point-and-shoot or phone camera. The photos attached to this review were taken with an iPhone 13Pro.

Great time with Charles and Lukasz! - This is my second (and third) trip over to Japan, and I have spent a number of nights out shooting with Lukasz and Charles. Both are great photographers, and have great insight into where to go and what to shoot in Tokyo. I had a great time, learned a lot, and came away with some really great shots! If you're a photographer, do yourself a favor and sign up with the guys from EYExplore.

Excellent, highly recommended - Excellent workshop with a seasoned photographer. I found this workshop to be the best way to see Tokyo by night from the eyes of a talented photographer. The workshop included an educational/learning component followed by implementation at locations that I would never have found by myself.

A Photography Must! - I had a great night with Charles. The tour is not only excellent from a photography perspective but also offers you a rare opportunity to see a side of Tokyo that you may have not seen before. Charles was really great at showing me the right settings on my camera and super encouraging and patient while I was getting my shot. If you are interested in photography, then I would highly recommend this tour. I can't wait to go back and do another tour in Tokyo with Eyexplore.

I'm looking forward to be back in Tokyo to join one of their tours - As reported in other reviews, this tour it's gonna change the way you look at the city afterward overall. You gonna learn how to capture moving objects creating soapy background filled with alluring light. You will work with reflection to create interesting images with an abstract touch too. Framing, scene and subject selection is the core of this workshop. In conclusion, I want to to add that it helped me to start working around my own fear of photographing people. Enjoy the tour! =)

Do this tour! - Charles was fantastic! Got many helpful tips regarding camera settings and composition. He definitely knew the places to go for great shots and how to capture the essence of Tokyo night life. My photos were better than anything I could have achieved on my own.
