What's the Story?
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 night.
What We'll Shoot
We will explore creative ways of shooting street photography in the night-scape of Tokyo’s most colorful districts. In addition to understanding the ideal settings for night street photography, we will learn how to creatively use reflections, and how to capture silhouettes while shooting in high contrast or very dark conditions.
Where We'll Explore
We'll delve into the heart of Shinjuku and Shibuya. We start off at Shinjuku Station, head towards Kabukicho, and end up in Omoideyokocho (Memory Lane). After that we'll go by train to Shibuya and ending our journey in the famous scramble crossing.

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 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.

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.

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! =)

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.

Charles was phenomenal. He was attentive, knowledgeable and patient. Really enjoyed my evening with him and got some epic shots. I had literally just gotten off the plane, first time in Japan and hadn’t slept for over 18 hours and we didn’t miss a beat. Highly suggest this tour and would hang with Charles any day😁

We met with Charles at the Shibuya crossing. Within 5 min of meeting we were already getting great photographs. Charles has a great eye for street photography and forced me to think differently from how I normally shoot.
We had some heavy downpour at times, but Charles took that as an opportunity to look for great reflection shots which is not something I would normally look for. Friends and family loved these shots.
We almost canceled because of the weather but very glad we didn’t. Charles knowledge of the area allowed us to stay relatively dry and still get great photos.
I highly recommend booking with EYExplore.

This workshop was the highlight of my trip to Tokyo! Charles was an excellent guide who gave lots of great tips, and was also great to have a conversation with. He showed me some great spots in both Shinjuku and Shibuya and I had so much fun both shooting and exploring.
I highly recommend taking any workshop that Eyexplore offers. They really know the areas they are covering and are fantastic photographers! If you're on the fence about attending, have no doubt you will have a great time.
