The stable was an easy 2 min walk from our meeting point. Chairs to sit on while we watched the practice was welcome for weary feet :) Our your guide Marie was fantastic. She was very informative and passionate about Sumo wrestling. So glad we booked.”

14.Private Photoshoot at Shibuya Crossing

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 7 reviews · 15 - 45 minutes · from $135

Private Shibuya Crossing photoshoot with a pro. 15-45 minutes, edited photos in 48 hours, digital gallery for up to 8.

“The shoot was brief which was nice. Some suggestions were proposed however I feel like my requests were not really taken into account. I mentioned that I was after distant shots and voiced some concern about the size of the lens and the proximity of the photographer. As a result I still get mostly half body shots or close up full body shots. Eventually it feel like I was following a script rather than getting the opportunity to have something that would suit me personally. Wish the communication was better. I still have some cute photos but it’s a bit underwhelming for the price.”
