Who Are the Tours For
Cooperation and passion...
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 focuses on waterscapes, natural sceneries, and sacred sites, offering cultural and historical insights to deepen your connection to the subjects you photograph.
Unique Spots and Moments
Capture exclusive sceneries and authentic moments...
Having explored and photographed all 47 prefectures for more than 25 years, we take you to hidden spots, traditional places, and unique landscapes unlocking the country’s most untouched treasures.
Picture yourself capturing the quiet poetry of a minimalist fishing hut at dawn, a rock formation veiled in mist, or the timeless serenity of a secluded temple... These are not just locations, they are curated moments, chosen for their beauty and meaning.
Discover the Country Easily
Forget about language issues, cultural barriers, or tricky systems. We handle it all...
Living in Japan, we help you understand the intricacies of the society. A deeper knowledge of Japan’s cultural nuances allows you to approach your photography with greater insight and authenticity.
So, you can dive into the experience, knowing every interaction and place is accessible, respectful, and open to photograph freely.
A Seamless Journey
Focused from sunrise to sunset...
With my wife Hisayo, a native Japanese speaker, we take care of all logistical details (accommodations, transport, and local plans) so you can focus solely on photography. We carefully select the accommodations based on your itinerary, tides, and the unique light conditions of each season.
As your guide, I am offering tech support, creative tips, and access to exclusive spots. Together, we ensure your time in Japan is both inspiring and smoothly organized.
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 and create meaningful images...
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 without distractions.
Take the time to observe, understand, and compose your shots with intention. This way, your photos become visual narratives that capture the soul of Japan, its quiet moments, and its timeless beauty.
A Creative Collaboration
Working together on a photography adventure...
While supporting your own creative vision, I invite you to explore 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.
You receive technical guidance and artistic inspiration, ensuring you leave Japan not only with stunning photos but also with new skills. Mastering contrast, experimenting with exposure, and refining your composition, expand your creative vision.
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.
