Photo Spot in Tokyo: Shiba Park & Zojoji Temple

Best Photo Spots at Shiba Park & Zojoji Temple

Tokyo Tower’s Iconic View Through the Seasons

Located in the heart of Minato ward, Tokyo; Shiba Park (芝公園) and Zojoji Temple (増上寺) together offer one of the most picturesque and timeless views of Tokyo Tower. As a professional vacation photographer based in Tokyo, I often bring clients here to capture the perfect blend of traditional and modern Japan — the historic temple grounds contrasted beautifully against the bright red steel of Tokyo Tower rising in the background.

Whether you’re visiting for a family trip, couple photoshoot, or solo travel portraits, Shiba Park and Zojoji Temple provide a peaceful, easily accessible location with multiple angles of Tokyo Tower — from wide park views to close-up temple details. The area is also just a short walk from Hamamatsucho or Daimon where you can combine with some urban shops/ Japanese shopping street or even izakaya.

Most importantly, I want you to have a good time and return home with amazing photographs as your timeless souvenirs.

I am also available at popular tourist destinations around Japan from Hokkaido, Mount Fuji to Kyoto and Okinawa for longer sessions or via partners. Please inquire for details.
