GRIT, CULTURE, AND LESSER-KNOWN STREETS THROUGH THE LENS

Jason Garcia's photo walks take you deep into some of the city’s most atmospheric neighborhoods, where you’ll explore gritty backstreets, indie enclaves, and raw urban textures that reveal the real Tokyo, unfiltered, moody, and full of character.

Meet Your Guide
Hi, I'm Jason, and Tokyo has been my home since 2017. I'm a professional photographer dedicated to capturing interesting everyday scenes with both digital and film cameras. I love exploring lesser-known side streets and back alleys. These are my go-to spots and the highlights of my photographic journey.
I enjoy connecting with people visiting Tokyo, helping those who are new to photography, giving personal tours, and surrounding myself with tastemakers and creative individuals from around the world.
Photo walks are a regular part of my life, allowing me and my guests to discover parts of Japan that most people may never get to see. I look forward to hosting a memorable walk for you during your visit to Tokyo.
