Introducing the Most Popular Pre-Wedding Photo Location: Tokyo Station!

Hello everyone!
Today we’re excited to introduce our studio’s number one most popular location—Tokyo Station!

Famous as the classic Western-style pre-wedding spot, Tokyo Station is the most photographed location of the year. With countless photo backdrops, its role as the gateway to Tokyo and the heart of Japan, and its stylish Marunouchi scenery, it is no exaggeration to say this is the most highly recommended location.

With us, not only can you shoot at Tokyo Station itself, but also follow a perfect route through Marunouchi’s iconic photo spots:

  • Brick Square, with its beautiful seasonal trees

  • Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, a chic red-brick building

  • Marunouchi Naka-dori, a fashionable street that will make your eyes sparkle

  • Wadakuramon, where Edo-period history blends with the modern city

  • Meiji Seimei Kan, a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, often called a masterpiece

Each location offers a unique atmosphere filled with the essence of both history and Tokyo’s modern sophistication!

Whether you’re already considering Tokyo Station for your shoot or still undecided, you’ll find plenty of inspiring examples here. Please enjoy to the end☆彡

① A Classical Doorway at the “Meiji Seimei Kan”

First is the Meiji Seimei Kan, a beloved spot for those seeking its heavy, classical atmosphere.
This Important Cultural Property features bronze doors with an overwhelming sense of presence and craftsmanship, creating a background that feels like stepping back in time.

Some couples even choose Tokyo Station just so they can shoot here!
Note: Depending on the time, photos may not be allowed in front of the door, so be sure to confirm with your planner♪

② A Natural Oasis with European Flair: “Brick Square”

Next, we have Brick Square, a relatively new shopping complex in Marunouchi with a chic black exterior.
Its open, stylish architecture invites you in, and its courtyard offers a peaceful, natural backdrop within the busy city.

While Marunouchi is often associated with office buildings and a fast-paced lifestyle, this green oasis lets you feel calm and connected with nature—perfect for wedding photos that combine elegance and serenity.

③ The Red-Brick Charm of “Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum”

Standing right next to Brick Square, the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum is an enchanting red-brick building that feels like Europe.
Its Western-style exterior transports you abroad, making for elegant and fashionable photos, as if capturing a refined holiday abroad.

The soft, warm tones of the brick create a gentle impression, making this location perfect for wedding photography♡

④ Nuanced Photos in a Stylish Cityscape

If you’re tired from the outfits or posing, take a break and enjoy natural shots!
Close-up footstep shots have become very popular recently, symbolizing the two of you walking together into your future.

Detail shots, such as your hands with wedding rings, are also highly requested.
While many imagine pre-wedding photos focusing only on full portraits, we make sure to capture every precious detail♡

⑤ Fashionable Marunouchi Naka-dori

This glamorous main street is lined with luxury boutiques and stylish restaurants.
Walking here feels like strolling through one of Tokyo’s most fashionable areas.

A “weekend date” theme—shopping, dining, and strolling—works beautifully here.
Capturing everyday life in such a chic environment will give you photos that feel both natural and timeless.

⑥ The Historical “Wadakuramon” Gate

Near the moat stands Wadakuramon, a gate that once belonged to Edo Castle.
It creates a unique contrast: a historical structure standing boldly amid modern skyscrapers.

In daylight, it feels solid and historical; at night, it blends romantically into the illuminated cityscape.
It’s such a popular photo spot that lines often form, so if this is a must-have for you, please let us know in advance♡

⑦ Romantic Reflection Photos

Do you know about reflection photos?
By capturing your reflection on water or glass, we create magical, dreamlike images.

In front of Tokyo Station, reflection photos are especially popular, creating the impression of a private world for just the two of you♡

⑧ The Iconic Tokyo Station Building

Now for the highlight—Tokyo Station’s iconic red-brick building!

This historical structure has remained nearly unchanged since its opening.
Its exquisite design, intricate details, and striking silhouette make it one of the ultimate wedding photo backdrops.

By day, the building offers a natural and stylish impression; by night, it becomes romantic and unforgettable when illuminated.
It’s no exaggeration to say this is the most powerful photo spot in Tokyo♡

⑨ Seasonal Magic: Marunouchi Illumination♡

Every winter, over 280 trees across Marunouchi—stretching from Otemachi to Yurakucho—are lit up in champagne-gold lights for the Marunouchi Illumination.

This seasonal event creates breathtaking wedding photos you can only capture at this time of year, adding brilliance to your memories☆彡

⑩ The Award-Winning “Gyoko-dori”

Gyoko-dori connects Tokyo Station’s Marunouchi Central Exit to the Imperial Palace.
Its appearance changes with the season and time of day.

Under the streetlights at night, the two of you will look like a prince and princess at a grand ball.
By day, the natural lighting creates a bright, elegant impression.

⑪ The Enchanting “Magic Hour”

The “Magic Hour” is the twilight just after sunset, when the sky glows with soft gradients of color.
This time of day is extremely popular for its breathtakingly romantic light.

During this fleeting moment, when day and night meet, the scenery becomes truly magical—perfect for unforgettable wedding photos♡

Conclusion

So, how was that?♡
From Tokyo Station’s historical building to Marunouchi’s chic streets, this area offers countless unique and breathtaking photo opportunities.
