Located in the middle of the Tokyo Bay, the fast paced city belongs to the Kant? region. Tokyo is known as one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world, with more than 37 million residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the increased interest in Tokyo, the metropolitan city has developed into an extremely diverse destination. The originality of the rich culture mixed with up-and-coming labels and restaurants, places the city in an extraordinary light. Tokyo is a big city with all kinds of tones, from plain grey to high contrasting colours and shapes. This contrast is sure to add an inspiring twist to simple, minimal photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nagoya-based photographer <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cherrydeck.com\/_j_f_m_c_\" target=\"_blank\">Luigi<\/a> encourages inspired creatives to wonder around the city and let Tokyo do its magic. Commercial and administrative ward, Shinjuku is one of Luigi&#8217;s favourite locations to photograph. The billboard filled centre \u2014 resembling Times Square in New York City, mixed with the surrounding temples, reflects the Japanese values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best time to visit Tokyo is in the fall and spring seasons, and the city shows its spark in the morning and evening hours. Keep in mind, that in some cultural areas you are not allowed to take photos \u2014 but, don&#8217;t worry, there are plenty of other locations! <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure

target=\"_blank\">Shimokitazawa<\/a> is a commercial and entertainment district in Tokyo. The former farming village, has developed into a bustling, well-known district due to its thriving arts and music scene. Because of its proximity to Shibuya, a neighbourhood filled with the younger generations and night clubs, Shimokitazawa presents a different cultural side of Japan. Not only is this district flooded with vintage shops, cafes, vinyl stores, and cool restaurants, but it is also the perfect place to capture moody moments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This neighbourhood captures the zeitgeist of Japanese art, music and fashion sub-cultures.<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/cherrydeck.com\/a_curry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andrew Curry<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Photographer, <a href=\"https:\/\/cherrydeck.com\/a_curry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andrew<\/a> Curry says that the best time to photograph in the Shimokitazawa neighbourhood is the evening and night hours. The narrow streets and neon signs, which take over the district, add a special feel to any image and make it the best spot for nighttime photography. Whilst the district is a hotspot to the locals, many tourists have started taking an interest in Shimokitazawa due to its diverse thrift stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?q=yurakucho&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiqw-2FqfrsAhWLGewKHbG_BKAQ_AUoAXoECA4QAw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Y?rakuch<\/a>?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"13414\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/International-Forum-Yurakucho.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"authentic places to photograph in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-13414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/International-Forum-Yurakucho.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/International-Forum-Yurakucho.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/International-Forum-Yurakucho.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/International-Forum-Yurakucho.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/International-Forum-Yurakucho.jpg?w=1184&amp;ssl=1 1184w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"13415\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yurakucho.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"authentic places to photograph in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-13415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yurakucho.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yurakucho.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yurakucho.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yurakucho.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yurakucho.jpg?w=1184&amp;ssl=1 1184w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Pictures by <a href=\"https:\/\/cherrydeck.com\/lu.xish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fix Loh <\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?q=yurakucho&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiqw-2FqfrsAhWLGewKHbG_BKAQ_AUoAXoECA4QAw\" target=\"_blank\">Y?rakuch?<\/a> is a business area located in the district of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?q=Chiyoda&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjYioPlpvrsAhVMLewKHSC1CiIQ_AUoAXoECCMQAw\" target=\"_blank\">Chiyoda<\/a>, in Tokyo.
