Yoyogi Park is between ultra-popular Harajuku and Shibuya. Every season there is different. But, the differences are far more pronounced than at any other park in Tokyo. It offers a lot to photographers in unexpected ways. People practicing dance or yoga there isn’t rare. Photographers with models are a common sight. You’ll see all kinds …
In 2021, I discovered Kameido Tenjin had a chrysanthemum festival! I had always associated the shrine with wisteria and plum blossoms. This was something new so I went to photograph them. But the visit left me with conflicting thoughts. Have you been to the shrine before? If you haven’t, I’ll briefly tell you about it. …

The Shitamachi Museum in Ueno is a small place that some people might walk by and not even notice. From the outside, the building looks rather plain. But, it is well worth visiting. The museum’s theme, of course, is Tokyo’s famous Shitamachi area. It has played a starring role in the city’s history. Step inside …
I hadn’t done any night photography in Shibuya for a long time. Thanks to the pandemic, I have avoided it for the past two years. But, I figured it was time to get back in the swing of things. And it was raining, but that was okay. I really wanted to shoot there, especially around …

I’ve been to Yushima Seido many times. But, 2021 was my first time there in autumn. I was pleasantly surprised. Around me were black walls. Above them were the yellow leaves of the ginkgo trees.

Shinagawa Shrine is near Shinagawa Station. You’d think both would be in Shinagawa Ward. Well, the station is in Minato Ward. Did you know that? It is a funny fact. Let’s get back on track and talk about the shrine. Shinagawa Shrine is a good place for photographers. I wouldn’t place it up there with …
The Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show returned for its pre-30th time in 2021. Pre-30th? Yes, with the event canceled in 2020, it seemed like the best name. No one likes to see great car events wasted. I was very happy to be back there. But it meant I was up at 4 am to get …
