Minami Koshigaya. Japan

Wow….. My first Awa Odori festival and I’m blow away with how much fun I had shooting last night! You almost need to have your head on a swivel to be able to catch everything.

Thousands of dancers and musicians take over a whole suburb with their amazing energy and routines for the weekend.

Using the new Sony a7rii for the first time and it was brilliant in the low light and AF for movement of the performers.

Asakusa View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful hotel in a great spot. Amazing view from the executive rooms. Would definitely stay again. "

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Metropolitan Edmont. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite throughout our visit. The hotel is in a great location — just a short walk from Iidabashi Station, with access to multiple train and subway lines, making it easy to get around Tokyo. The surrounding area feels safe and is relatively quiet by Tokyo standards, even though it’s not a purely residential district. It’s a mixed-use area with local restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores nearby, which made everything we needed easily accessible. The room was clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the peaceful atmosphere after a full day of sightseeing. Would definitely stay here again for the balance of convenience, comfort, and calm. Highly recommended. "
