The main part starts here.
As a photographer born and raised in the area, I will guide you to unique Arakawa Ward scenery—such as back alleys, shopping streets, small factories, shrines, and traditional buildings—that you won't find in standard tourist guidebooks. The appeal of this experience goes beyond simply walking the streets and taking photos; leveraging the connections I have built through the local photography project "Arakawa Photo," I facilitate natural interactions with shopkeepers, artisans, and local residents. While you enjoy these community exchanges and the walk, I will capture candid, memorable snapshots and family photos. These images offer something different from typical tourist photos, preserving the atmosphere of Arakawa Ward’s daily life and its distinctive *shitamachi* (old downtown) charm. Individuals, families, and groups of friends are all welcome to participate.
Why not join a local photographer who knows Arakawa Ward inside out and experience the "real Arakawa"—the side of daily life not found in guidebooks? We will capture these precious moments in photographs for you to cherish as travel memories.
