Konnichiwa! I am Gulay, a professional guide with a deep love for photography, art, and discovering the hidden spirit of Tokyo beyond the typical tourist experience. I have been working as a professional guide since 2008, and have received my training at the Department of Tourism Guidance. I moved to Spain for one year (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) and worked as a volunteer and mentor in EVS organizations(European Voluntary Service) But then my interest in Japanese culture led me to my current carrier in Tokyo for 8 years. Guiding is my passion, I believe guiding guests that you never met before from totally different countries is a great chance to know people better to improve your skills. As your guide, I will be pleased to share my experience of guiding with you and will do my best to make your holiday a memorable one. I am here to explain the local culture and traditions and give guests other local insights and I will help you to experience the "WOW" factor :) I also deeply love photography and art, which strongly influences the way I explore Tokyo. I am always searching for beautiful light, hidden details, atmosphere, architecture, everyday moments, and places that emotionally capture the city's spirit. Whether it’s quiet backstreets, modern design, nostalgic neighborhoods, cafés, local life, or contemporary art spaces, I love helping guests experience Tokyo in a more visual and emotional way. And if you want, I am happy to customize your itinerary according to your requests, I can help design your experience based on your interests, such as food, fashion, history, art, pop culture in Japan, or something specific. I would love to show you my favorite things about the greatest city in the world! I look forward to exploring Tokyo together with you and sharing my favorite sides of this incredible city!

This unique walking tour invites you to slow down and experience Tokyo through the lens of a disposable film camera. Instead of chasing perfect photos, we focus on atmosphere, emotion, and small everyday moments, quiet backstreets, local interactions, hidden details, food stops, changing light, and the natural rhythm of the city. Tokyo often moves very fast, but this experience is about noticing the small things people usually miss. Throughout the walk, I’ll guide you through neighborhoods that blend local life, culture, nostalgia, and modern Tokyo energy, helping you capture authentic memories in a simple, relaxed way. This is not a photography class or technical photography tour.
What makes this tour special? • No filters !! Just real moments! • Learn to experience Tokyo like a local. • Embrace imperfection, surprise, and nostalgia. • A creative way to explore the city! • No screens, no instant review, no pressure! • Perfect for those who want natural memories that feel as if they were captured by a friend or your family.

This is primarily a walking tour designed to slowly experience the atmosphere of Tokyo and discover everyday local life. However, depending on the route and neighborhoods we choose to explore, we may also use Tokyo’s excellent public transportation system between areas, just like locals do.

The meeting point can be flexible depending on your hotel location and the overall concept of the tour. In many cases, I can meet guests directly at their hotel or at a nearby station to make the experience easier and more comfortable, especially for first-time visitors to Tokyo.
