The megatropolis Tokyo is our starting point for this colourful workshop. From the neon-lit streets of Shinjuku, and the impressive skyline of this futuristic city, to the quiet and spiritual lantern covered alleys of the old Asakusa district, Tokyo is a contradictory city full of wonder.
No trip to Japan in Autumn would be complete without a photograph of the iconic Mt Fuji. The Fuji Five-Lakes district is breathtaking at this time of the year as autumn brings a vibrancy that exemplifies the natural beauty of the lakes and vistas in the region. We will take out time to explore a wide array of shooting locations so you will be sure to capture the shy mountain in its best light.
We take a step back into the Edo period with a visit of some of the small villages in the Kiso Valley. This gives us a glimpse into Japan's feudal past, with well-preserved wooden buildings, traditional inns (minshuku), and historic landmarks. The Kiso Valley is known for its natural beauty, with lush mountains, pristine rivers, and verdant forests. The valley is particularly picturesque during the spring cherry blossom season and the autumn foliage season.
Our adventure continues in Kyoto: the cultural heart of Japan. Steeped in history, Kyoto has some of the most colourful temples and shrines found anywhere in the world. Our time will be wisely spent in the right locations at the right time. Early morning in the serene bamboo forest, late afternoon along the path of a thousand Torii Gates as the shadows grow long, evenings at illuminated temples such as Kiyomizu-dera. If we are lucky, we might even hear the shuffling of Geisha as they hurry from tea-house to tea-house in the twilight of Gion.
Heading south, we spend time at Mount Koya (Koyasan), a sacred mountain in Wakayama Prefecture. The mountain is home to a cluster of temples, monasteries, and spiritual sites, making it one of Japan's most significant religious destinations. Koyasan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its cultural and historical significance. The architecture of its temples and monasteries, as well as the artwork and artifacts housed within them, provide insights into Japan's religious and artistic heritage.
Further exploring the Wakayama prefecture, we visit Seiganto temple - Temple of the Blue Waves and Nachi falls. Along the coast of Wakayama prefecture lie some of the most unique rock formations found in all Japan. The Hashigui-iwa Rocks, a striking natural formation along the shore, are particularly captivating. These enigmatic columns of rock jutting from the sea resemble an ancient bridge, creating a dramatic and picturesque seascape that's perfect for photography at sunrise.
Our tour will conclude on Day 10 with the group being dropped off in central Osaka during the day, people can choose to continue their Japan adventure or make their way home when the tour is completed.
