Will it actually look like a real photograph?

Yes. The output is photoreal — a real-looking small-apartment photograph, not a painting or an illustration — built around the low table, the tatami, and the three takes described above.

Do I need an actual Tokyo apartment for this to work?

No. The pack builds the room, the tatami, and the balcony around your uploaded face — you don't need to be in Tokyo, or own any of it, in real life. That's what the photoshoot supplies.

What's the difference between the free preview and the full pack?

The free preview is one photo from your uploaded face, shown live in seconds so you can judge the likeness before you commit. The full pack is nine photos across the three apartment takes — different crops, expressions, and light.

How is this different from a generic AI Japan-inspired photo filter?

Most generic filters default to a vague pastel backdrop. This pack is built around a specific small-apartment register — the sweatshirt and socks, the linen set, real pale-wood and grey window light — so it reads as an actual quiet morning, not a filtered selfie.

Is this pack for women or men?

The styling and sample set here are built for women — the sweatshirt with shorts, the linen set among them. A men's version isn't shipped in this pack.

What if my source photo isn't great?

One clear phone selfie is usually enough. The free preview shows you the likeness in seconds — if it's off, the prep tips above are the fastest fix, and lighting is the most common culprit.

Can I use it for a profile picture or dating app photo?

Yes — it's a calm, well-composed portrait that reads well on either. Used honestly, as a stylised AI photoshoot rather than a claim of a real Tokyo trip, it works well on any profile.

What happens to the photo I upload?

Your photo is processed on European servers to generate your preview and, if you continue, your full pack. It is not sold or shared with third parties.

Can I use this for a travel-inspired keepsake or gift?

Personal use like this is fine — a travel-inspired keepsake, a print, a gift. It isn't licensed for commercial resale.

The Tokyo Apartment register

This pack belongs to Narcis's at-home lifestyle series — the ordinary corners of a home, lit and framed like a real editorial shoot. The small Tokyo apartment is the six-mat room and the quiet morning in it: tatami or pale wood, a low table, a folded futon, a balcony with laundry, a convenience-store coffee. It's the small apartment lifestyle photo people actually search for, shot as a real quiet morning rather than a staged catalogue.

Photographically the register runs on soft window light against a palette of pale wood, white wall, and morning grey. Nothing else competes for the frame.

Three takes carry the pack: seated on the floor at the low table with a canned coffee and the futon folded behind her, standing at the balcony door with laundry hanging beside her, and lying on the tatami with a book held above — three real beats of a quiet morning, not one pose repeated.

The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph in a real-looking small apartment, not a painting or an illustration. It's a portrait built from your own uploaded face; the room and the light are the pack's, the quiet morning is yours.

How to photograph yourself for a Tokyo apartment photoshoot

Better source photos make better portraits. The pack works with an ordinary phone selfie — the free preview tells you in seconds — but a few things sharpen the likeness before the apartment's grey light goes on top.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own soft morning light on top — a flat, well-lit selfie gives it the clearest face to work from.
Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly to three-quarter. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
Face fully clearHair off the face, no hats or heavy filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
A quiet expressionThe Tokyo-apartment register favors a small, private smile over a big grin — a calm expression in your source photo blends more naturally into the quiet-morning frames.
Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own room — the pack's small apartment replaces it entirely. A plain wall behind you just helps the model focus on your face.

About narcis

Most AI portrait tools ship every pose, profession, era, and aesthetic in one giant catalog. The output looks like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One tool, one job: turn photos of you into portraits worth keeping. Drop a selfie and your free preview streams in seconds — a quick sketch: close, not you yet. For portraits that are truly you, train your own model on 12 to 20 photos; it trains in the background, and we email you when it is ready. Train once, render everywhere — this pack, every other pack, and the Studio all come out of that one model, about ten seconds a portrait, and it stays yours to retrain or delete. Each pack is hand-curated against actual references — paintings, photographers, registers — and tested on real faces before it ships. See a free preview before you pay, not after. Packs are one-time — no subscription to buy one; Studio, the unlimited composer, is optional at €12/month and every pack includes 30 days of it. No template generator. Built and run by one team, on our own infrastructure.
