top 10 photography spots in Tokyo so

when people first come to Tokyo's

Shibuya is one of the places they hit

because it's an awesome photography spot

just look at behind me and all of these

people so I want to show you guys my top

ten favorite places to take photos in

Tokyo which might be a little bit off of

the beaten path but it should help out

your Instagram game I'll make sure to

leave a link in description so you guys

can get to all of these spots and one

thing in this video I won't be including

any of these scenic shots or any of the

skylines because I wanted to show you

kind of like a more street level view of

Tokyo but if you guys want me to do a

video on that let me know in the

comments section and Zhiyun was kind

enough to send me the Crane 2 so in

the rest of this video I'll be filming

with a Zhiyun Crane 2 but one note

is that I'm not a pro photographer and

this is the first time I'll be using a

DSLR gimbal so you guys be kind to me in

the comments section number one Hie

shrine you might have seen pictures like

this from the Inari shrine in Kyoto but

this one was taken in Tokyo and it's one

of those hidden secret spots that no one

really knows about

Hanazono shrine in Ueno

Park is similar

but packed with tourist so it's difficult

to get a good shot and the shrine gates

are not as photogenic number two more

Moreru Mignon if you're looking for

something more Japanese pop then check

out this ultra cute put it could a shop

it's at the gateway of Tokyo Disney

Resort in the Ikspiari shopping mall it

has several photography areas serving as

a perfect Instagram killer number three

Sensoji I know this photo shop is

probably already on your list when

traveling to Tokyo but since it's just

so beautiful

it had to make my top 10 tokyo photo

spots during the day though when

there are crowds of people I was able to

isolate the subject by using the bottom

up mode on the crane 2 gimbal as it gets

an ultra low close to the ground

buttery shot like this number 4 tokyu

plaza now this spot is a Tokyo Instagram

classic mirrors everywhere even on the

ceiling and now you guys know where it is

number 5

graffiti wall this spot is hidden in the

back area of Shibuya not a lot of

tourists know about. It was challenging

to capture the entire wall in one shot

but luckily I was able to use the gimbal

to balance my DSLR camera and walk along

with a subject like this. Number 6

Todoroki Keiko ku and you believe just

15-20 minutes away from Shibuya there's

a beautiful ravine securely hidden away

you can keep walking the path and you'll

eventually reach a waterfall

also if you ever want to go selfie mode

with the gimbal just tap the mode button

three times and you can even capture

yourself like this. Number seven

Gotokuji inside of this beautiful go

gotokuji temple you can find these cute

and all these scary cats

aka my Manekineko. You might want to go

to the spot early since it's right next

to the cemetery. Number eight Omoide

yokocho. Omoide Yokocho is a well-known

Tokyo tourist spot for getting food and

drinks but it's also amazing spot for

Tokyo photography at night with cute lanterns

and friendly stores set the perfect

scene. number nine Meiji Jingu. Meiji

Jingu is just right next to Harajuku

station a lot of people visiting meiji

jingu b-line to the shrine but along

the way there's a dope set of 201

barrels of Sake all beautifully lined

up. The name shown in the barrels are the

sake makers from all over Japan who made

contributions.Definitely an Instagram worthy

spot in my book. And number 10 Tatemono-en

Tatemono-en is also known as

Edo Tokyo open-air architectural museum

is located inside Koganei Park which is

30 to 40 minutes away from Shibuya it

costs 400 yen for admission but it's

completely worth the money in the travel

check out this cinematic reveal shot of

this place while I start from the

subjects feet working up to ultimately

reveal the old school bathhouse ahead of

her oh and not only do the buildings

make for amazing photographs you can

even enter each building to find

authentically curated interiors

here's a map showing you relative

locations in Tokyo of all the places

we visited. again all the location links

are in the description of the video

alright so that concludes my top 10 hope

you liked the video and I hope you like

the footage from the Crane 2 you can

actually have a payload of 3.2 kilograms

so even heavy cameras like in my DSLR

with a huge lens this thing was able to

handle it plus it came with a cool

tripod so that when you actually hold it

out like this you can actually just like

prop it up without any problems

and if you guys are interested in the

Crane 2 I'll leave a link in the

description and like always if you guys

I'll catch you guys in the next one!
