LGBT Tokyo Then and Now

Behind every stoic Japanese businessman face there is a secret, thus one aspect of "honne tatemae," which loosely translates to something along the lines of keeping the publicly acceptable face forward, and the true face within. This, combined with Japanese culture's general disdain for public affection, might make Tokyo seem to not have as vibrant an LGBT presence as hoped. Worry not: In a city as big as Tokyo, there is of course a thriving gay scene -- if you know where to look. Tonight, you'll not only see Japan's largest gayborhood, Shinjuku 2-chome, but Asakusa in the evening as well. You'll also get a solid primer in Japanese gay society, both past and present. We'll stop along the way for a local Japanese meal (veg options available), and a couple of drinks too. Get ready for a well-rounded adventure into the heart of homosexuality in Japan, led by a friendly native (or equivalent) speaker of your selected language who knows what it means to be gay in Japan.

Stroll & Snap：Your Private Portrait Session

Hi, I’m a photographer based in Tokyo, and I have a deep passion for capturing the city’s unique charm through the eyes of visitors. I started this journey because, while many tourists come to Tokyo, I noticed that most photo services only offer a simple record of their travels. I wanted to do something different that truly reflects the pulse of the city. Tokyo is constantly changing, and I believe it’s our job as photographers to capture those shifts, from the latest cultural trends to the evolving street styles. What excites me most is rediscovering Tokyo through your eyes. Every time I walk through the city, whether it’s a familiar place like Asakusa, Shinjuku, Roppongi or Shibuya, I’m reminded of how beautiful and dynamic it is, especially at night. The city completely transforms after dark. I’m looking forward to taking photos with you that not only document your time in Tokyo but truly reflect the spirit of this incredible city. Let’s make memories that you’ll cherish forever.
