The Tour

A tour set against Shibuya’s most iconic and modern spots: the world-famous Scramble Crossing and Center Gai in the tourist heart of Shibuya; the hidden backstreets of Dogenzaka, Shibuya’s red-light district, for a more street, intimate vibe; the picturesque little bars of Nonbei Yokocho, Miyashita Park; and of course, plenty of neon for night shoots.

About JG

I’m JG, a Paris-born photographer who has lived in Shibuya since 2015, which is how this tour came about. I shoot portraits and fashion for individuals and brands across Tokyo, and run my own photo studio a few minutes from the Scramble Crossing. See my portrait and fashion photography.
