For festivals and retreats 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

Setup tips for multi-day gatherings — Tokyo

Any Tokyo-specific tip for collecting guest photos?

Can PicShots handle multi-day events?
Yes. You can set higher per-guest shot limits and keep the same guest link or QR active across the whole event.
Can we moderate before showing the gallery?
Yes. Keep the gallery hidden while uploads come in, delete anything you do not want public, then reveal when ready.
Is it better than an event hashtag?
It gives you more control. Hashtags scatter content across social platforms; PicShots collects uploads into one gallery that the host can download.
Can attendees upload from poor signal areas?
PicShots needs a network connection to upload. For low-signal venues, place QR reminders near stronger Wi-Fi zones like registration or the main hall.
Can we use the photos for marketing?
The host can download the gallery, but usage rights and attendee consent depend on your own event terms. Add a note to your signage or registration flow when photos may be reused.
