Photography of Tokyo’s modern architecture.

I can’t speak highly enough of Virginie. She thoroughly researched my request to photograph Tokyo’s modern architecture and took me on a wonderful tour. She also included information about the buildings like when they were built and who the architect was. She was friendly, prompt and extended the tour beyond the original 4 hours. I also learned a lot about Tokyo and Japanese culture from our conversations. Many, many thanks Virginie for a fabulous day.

Pascal L.

Cher Pascal, Je vous remercie pour votre chaleureux avis et je de m’avoir choisie pour vous faire découvrir les incontournables de Tokyo. Quel hazard de rencontrer un couple de jeunes mariés originaire de la même petite ville que moi et que l’on ait étudié dans le même collège a des époques différentes ! Je suis ravie que vous ayez aimé la visite. Le temps n’a pas toujours été clément mais cela ne nous a pas empêché de continuer notre exploration! Ça a été un plaisir de vous faire visiter ma ville et j’espère que j’aurais encore l’occasion d’explorer Tokyo avec vous ! Virginie
