Japan Photo Tours
Join us on a one-of-a-kind journey in Japan, designed for photographers who seek to capture the soul and dualities of this beautiful land.
Are you drawn to the majesty of nature, the serenity of rural life, or the energy of urban scenes? We provide authentic immersions into traditions, culture, and breathtaking landscapes, all through the lens.
Who Are the Tours For
The tours are designed for those who make photography the priority of their trip, whether they specialize in color or black and white. Our programme adapts to seasonal and weather conditions, tailoring the experience to your expectations.
We welcome all photographers, from beginners to professionals, and match groups to each participant’s experience. Tours are led in English and French.
The programme mainly focuses on waterscapes, natural sceneries, and sacred sites, offering cultural and historical insights to deepen your connection to these subjects. We explore Japan’s contrasts, tradition and modernity, serenity and energy, nature and urban pulse…
Unique Spots and Moments
Capture exclusive sceneries and authentic moments...
With over 25 years of exploring and photographing all 47 prefectures, we guide you to hidden spots, traditional places, and unique landscapes. These aren’t just locations… They’re curated moments, selected for their beauty and cultural depth.
From an old fishing hut on the seashore to a mist-covered temple, you’ll have the chance to capture Japan in a deeply personal way. While nurturing your creative vision, I invite you to embrace a minimalist approach through the elegance of black and white and the meditative art of long exposure. Both perfectly suited to the serenity of Japan’s landscapes.
Discover the Country Easily
Forget language barriers or cultural uncertainties...
As residents of Japan, we help you navigate the intricacies of society, so you can immerse yourself in the experience with confidence. Every interaction and location is carefully chosen, respectful, and open for you to photograph freely.
With my wife Hisayo, a native Japanese speaker, we take care of all logistical details. We select accommodations based on your itinerary, tides, and the unique light conditions of each place and season. Together, we ensure your time in Japan is both inspiring and seamless.
Flexibility to Fit Your Style
Because every photographer sees the world in their own way...
Whether you’re into Fine Art, landscape, or urban photography, we customise the experience to match your creative process and rhythm.
Want to spend hours waiting for the perfect light at a single location? Prefer to explore multiple spots in a day? It’s all up to you!
An Immersive Experience
Connect with the surroundings...
Since we prioritize mindful exploration, the journey is about seeing and feeling. We keep our groups small so you get personal attention and can explore at your own pace. This means more one-on-one help and the freedom to focus on what inspires you.
You receive artistic inspiration and technical tips. Mastering contrast, experimenting with exposure, and refining your composition, expand your creative vision. Create images and memories that reflect your unique and thoughtful perspective!
An Ethical Photography
Japan’s charm is in its nature, traditions, and people...
Photographing them requires understanding and respect for those who keep their heritage alive. Whether it’s a peaceful countryside, a private place or a sacred site, we make sure your photos respect the culture and people.
By approaching each scene with mindfulness and intention, you craft a portfolio that shows both artistic skill and ethical respect, clear of disrespectful practices.
