Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan
Why Shinjuku works for hotel ballrooms
Shinjuku is known for hotel chapels, ballrooms, restaurant receptions, and tightly timed guest movement. Hotel ballrooms and restaurant venues fit best.

Why PicShots fits
A safer local guide, without pretending to be venue-affiliated
AV-friendly QR display
Ballroom venues nearly always have screens and projectors. The QR code can be displayed on the welcome slide deck, on signage near the foyer, and printed on table cards.
No app install for hotel guests
Half your guest list is already exhausted from check-in and travel. A scan-and-shoot browser flow is the only camera setup that consistently works for everyone.
Bulk download for the album
Hotel weddings usually pair PicShots with a professional photographer. After the event, download the full ZIP and pass it to your editor for inclusion in the album.
Setup tips
QR setup for Shinjuku events
1 Print the QR on table cards
Slot the QR next to the menu or favour at every table — couples who do this collect 3–5× more uploads than a single foyer QR.
2 Display the QR on the welcome screen
Hotel ballrooms nearly always have an LED screen near the entrance. Ask the AV team to loop your QR slide during cocktails.
3 Mention it once at the speeches
A 10-second MC mention before dinner doubles uploads on average. Frame it as 'help us collect every angle of the night'.
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 Shinjuku placement tip
Put the QR on the printed programme because Tokyo event timelines leave little room for extra explanations.
