Tokyo, Japan

For reunions 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

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

Built for reunions

Why reunion photos are hard to collect

  • Different generations use different apps
  • Photos scatter across group chats and Facebook posts
  • The organiser is too busy greeting people to document the night
  • Nobody wants to chase 40 guests for uploads later

Setup tips

Setup tips for reunionsTokyo

  1. 1

    Put the QR at check-in

    Guests already stop there for name tags, so it is the best place to introduce the camera.

  2. 2

    Ask table captains to remind people

    One reminder per table gets more uploads than a single announcement from the front.

  3. 3

    Download before handing off

    Before the organising committee changes hands, export the ZIP and keep a clean archive.

  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.
