III · NOTES

Plan your visit.

  • — Tokyo's best general-purpose shooting hours run from blue hour through mid-evening; the LED density of Shibuya and Shinjuku reads cleanly until midnight
  • — Train stations and museums often restrict tripod use; handheld is the safer default
  • — Bring a fast 35mm-equivalent prime for street work; the city rewards confident close shooting
