Tokyo, Japan

For company events in Tokyo

From hotel chapels in Shinjuku to ryokan-style retreats, Tokyo events balance traditional ceremony with high-energy receptions.

Tokyo weddings and corporate events run on precise programmes. Short ceremony blocks and dense reception timelines leave little room for explaining an app install — a QR on the printed timeline works during the first pause.

Hotel chapels, garden ceremonies, and banquet halls often restrict large props. Guest phones cover reaction shots and table candids without fighting venue rules.

Hosts typically think in JPY. Confirm guest-cap tiers before printing programmes so the free-vs-paid decision is settled early.

  • Garden ceremonies at Meiji Jingu Gaien

  • Ryokan retreats outside the city

Local tips

Hosting in Tokyo

  • Put the QR on the programme

    Tokyo guests follow printed timelines closely — that is the highest-visibility slot of the day.

  • Keep instructions minimal

    One scan, enter a name, shoot. Extra steps get skipped when the schedule is tight.

Built for company events

Why corporate event photos rarely land

  • You hire a photographer for the keynote but lose the dinner, bar, and unconference
  • Slack channels for event photos die after day one
  • Marketing needs candid people-photos for next year's deck
  • Shared drives are a privacy headache to manage

What you get

Tuned for company events in Tokyo

  • From off-sites to multi-day conferences

    Same flow whether it's 15 engineers in a coworking space or 800 attendees across three days. Per-guest limits scale with the event.

  • Lanyards, signage, and Slack

    Print the QR on lanyards, slide it into the keynote deck, drop it in your event Slack header. One link, every channel.

  • PIN-protected and private by default

    Lock the event behind a PIN so only attendees can join. Keep the gallery hidden until you're ready to share. Uploads live in private storage.

  • Bulk download for your comms team

    Hand the whole event off to marketing with one ZIP. Uploads carry the guest's display name so you know who took what when you're picking shots for the deck.

Setup tips

Setup tips for corporate eventsTokyo

  1. 1

    Pin the QR in your event Slack header

    Highest-conversion placement we see — attendees keep coming back to Slack between sessions, which keeps the camera top-of-mind.

  2. 2

    Set a higher shot limit for multi-day events

    60–100 shots per guest works well for a 2–3 day conference. Single-day off-sites do fine on 30–40.

  3. 3

    Brief the speakers

    A 15-second 'snap a photo with the QR' from stage between sessions gets more uploads than any signage.

  4. 4

    Add the QR to the timeline programme

    Tokyo events run to the minute — placing the QR on the printed programme means guests scan it during the first moment of downtime.

Can I require a PIN before guests can upload?

Yes. PIN-protect the event so only people you share the PIN with can join — useful for internal off-sites and private corporate events.

Uploads are stored privately, with no public listings. Hosts control gallery visibility, and only people with the event link (and PIN, if set) can reach the camera page. See the privacy page for full data treatment.

Can we customise the look for our company?

Self-serve branding isn't available yet. For larger corporate events, reach out via the contact page — we're happy to talk about what's possible.

Does it work for fully-remote teams?

Yes for hybrid moments like an off-site or holiday party. For purely remote events with no live shared room, a guest camera adds less value — Slack or a normal album is fine.
