【EVENT】LOMORIDE! -Don’t Think Just Shoot with Tokyobike-

The event is on the 18 Sat&19 Sun May. This is a special event that combines the joys of exploring Tokyo by tokyobike, whose bicycles are customized for this city, with the vintage experience of photographing Tokyo with a film camera.

The cameras are supplied by Austrian camera company Lomography, which keeps the passion of film photography alive. Join a guided bike tour of Tokyo’s Shibuya and Shinjuku neighborhoods, capture the moment by snapping photos as you explore, and then share your best shots over a snack and drink at THE KNOT’s MORETHAN BAKERY.

Maximum 10 participants. Early reservations are recommended.

Reservations and detail : THE KNOT PEATIX

The tour will start at THE KNOT, where you can rent tokyobike’s bicycles.

Lomography’s cameras are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. (Most of these pages were taken with Lomography’s LC-A+, the same camera used during the tour.) Don’t think! Just shoot!

Even beginners can take memorable photos! A Lomography staff member will be present to teach you how to use the cameras, and some tricks of shooting with film.

We will ride to a few photo spots, to give everyone a chance to capture their own Tokyo on film. (It was taken previous LOMORIDE!)

Once you finish shooting your roll of film, Lomography’s staff will take it for developing.  You can buy an additional roll and explore some more. There will be free time, when you can go where your heart takes you, or visit places recommended by tokyobike staff. (This Scandavian-style café is in the Tomogaya neighborhood, not far from THE KNOT.)

After the free time, gather on the second floor of THE KNOT to see everyone’s developed photos.
There will be a snack provided by the MORETHAN BAKERY.

After the event is over, feel free to hang out at THE KNOT, talking about the ride or getting a drink at our café and bar.
