Tokyo

Tokyo, the bustling capital city of Japan, is located on the eastern coast of Honshu, the largest island in the country. Known for its vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and stunning architecture, Tokyo is a photographer's paradise. From the towering skyscrapers of Shinjuku to the serene gardens of the Imperial Palace, there are endless opportunities to capture the essence of this dynamic city. Other popular photography locations in Tokyo include the iconic Shibuya Crossing, the colorful streets of Harajuku, and the historic temples of Asakusa.

二重橋 (Nijubashi)
二重橋 (Nijubashi)
by Yi Jiang

Nijubashi(which means the "Dobule Bridge") is one of the most well-known bridges in Japan. If you are looking at the bridge from the front, the two separate bridges appear as a single two storied bridge.

Nijubashi bridge is only opened on special occasions such as for official state guests and for holding formal ceremonies at the Imperial Palace.

Asakusa Kannon Temple (Sensō-ji)
Asakusa Tokyo, Japan

This Buddhist temple needs no introduction, it houses the goddess of mercy (known as Kannon in Japanese). Different from the Shinto Temples more commonly found in Japan. It is a must see tourist attraction in Tokyo. I visited it twice. During the day it was just flooded with tourist taking their snapshots and crowding the scene. I knew I had to return at blue hour where there were lesser tourists and the low light conditions allowed me to use a longer exposure, which blurs out the remaining few people that were left. One still have to be patient and wait for breaks between tourists posing for their own images. Although this location has been photographed millions of times before. The temple gates and pagoda are so beautifully lit, I just had to experience the joy of photographing it first-hand!
