Autumn Photo Tour in 2022 and dates for 2023
We are now confidently looking forward to going ahead with the Japan Autumn, colour, culture and contrasts, photo tour. We have five delightful guests joining us (and one free space if you hurry). The small group tour design means we fully meet Japan’s latest travel rules as the country slowly re-opens.

If the time line is too tight then make a note of the tour dates for next year. The next Autumn photo tour runs from November 19 -24 and will likely have a slightly different itinerary. Daisuke Kondo and I will be scouting this October researching new locations.
Here are some highlights of the November tour:
Explore Tokyo’s contrasts: elegant modern, intriguing traditional, surprising streetscapes and autumnal gardens.
Feel the moods in one of Japan’s top-three gardens: the gorgeous Kenrokuen in Kanazawa, and the nearby Samurai district.
Discover your own images along the stunning Noto Peninsula’s coastline with fascinating old rural Japan and its married rocks and 1200-year-old onsen.
Delight in Kyoto’s marvellous temples, shrines and gardens in their rich autumn colours.
Make memorable portraits of Geiko and Maiko by working in pairs with three of these special traditional artists.
Enjoy relaxing travel on Japan’s fast train system and, for exploring the Noto Peninsula, in a comfortable van as there are just 4-6 participants and two leaders.
Develop your skill and vision by taking time to review your images as you go. With a small group you have full access to Robert and Daisuke, the two photography coaches, whose key priority is your creativity.
