Ginza, Tokyo, Japan
Why Ginza works for garden venues
Ginza is known for polished restaurants, hotels, private dining, and formal receptions. Restaurant venues and hotel ballrooms are the strongest fits.

- Natural light across full daylight hours
- Adjacent indoor backup space
Why PicShots fits
A safer local guide, without pretending to be venue-affiliated
Golden hour from every angle
Sunset toasts and golden-hour portraits are the strongest candid moments. Pair the QR with a quick MC mention right before sunset and uploads spike noticeably.
Mobile-first for outdoor guests
Outdoor venues mean guests are spread across the lawn, not gathered in one room. A scan-and-shoot browser flow keeps them participating from anywhere.
Bring everything indoors after
Most garden weddings have an indoor backup. PicShots collects uploads from both spaces into one gallery so the host doesn't have to merge anything later.
Setup tips
QR setup for Ginza events
1 Place the QR near drinks stations
Outdoor receptions cluster around drinks. Adding the QR card to the bar and the lemonade table catches the cocktail hour participation window.
2 Add a sunset MC mention
Golden hour is the single most rewarding upload window of the day. A 10-second MC reminder right before sunset is the biggest single lift you can get.
3 Print the QR at scale
Outdoors, guests scan from farther away. Print the QR at A5 size minimum on the welcome sign so anyone at the lawn edge can still capture it.
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.
5 Ginza placement tip
Use discreet table cards with a short English/Japanese prompt for international guest lists.
