Itinerary

About The Japan Photography Adventure

During this 10-day photography adventure, we'll be taking in the diverse scenery Japan has to offer through the lens of our cameras. Our primary locations will be Tokyo, Kyoto, and Mt. Fuji. We'll visit ancient shrines, see modern marvels, and enjoy epic natural landscapes. Along the way, photographer Les Taylor will guide you to the well-known spots and hidden gems. Les will also help you create the best possible images – images you'll be proud to share when you return home. 


Throughout the adventure, Les will also offer time to cover post-processing using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop programs to help you take your photography to the next level. You'll be treated to high-end accommodation, delicious foods like Sushui and Udon. You'll get immersed in the beautiful Japanese culture when you enjoy tea ceremonies and hot spring baths. You'll even have the opportunity to travel by the world-famous "shinkansen" (Japanese bullet train). This trip is a once-in-a-lifetime photography adventure you don't want to miss!

Leslie Taylor

Les Taylor is an American photographer with abundant experience photographing Japan. Along with selling prints and licensing his images, he has also done many photography assignments for Japan Travel. His work has appeared in publications like National Geographic Traveler Magazine and Jetstar Magazine. He has been living in Japan for nearly ten years. He has become a “native” Japanese resident who can offer his perspectives about Japan and why he believes Japan is beautiful, unique, and memorable. 

Day 1-3: Tokyo-Kyoto

 We meet in Tokyo, then travel to Kyoto by "shinkansen" (bullet train). In Kyoto, we'll visit ancient shrines, towering bamboo groves, and much more. We'll enjoy a tea ceremony and do some geisha photo hunting in the Higashiyama district. We'll enjoy great food and hold a post-processing session on our second night. 

Day 4-6: Kyoto-Mount Fuji-Lake Kawaguchiko

Travel from Kyoto to Mt. Fuji, we will rent bikes and explore the Lake Kawaguchiko area for the rest of the day. For the next two days, we will have a van accessible and see all five lakes of Mt. Fuji and waterfalls, and other natural landscapes in the area. We'll pay a visit to a Japanese "onsen" (natural hot spring bath) during our time around Mt. Fuji and take more time to cover post-processing techniques.

Day 7-9: Tokyo

Travel to Tokyo from the Fuji Five Lakes area. We'll spend each day exploring Tokyo by visiting old temples and quiet gardens, wandering through the neon lights of Shibuya and Akihabara, and enjoying views overlooking the city from some of Tokyo's modern architectural marvels. We'll enjoy the diverse flavors of the city and again have time for post-processing instruction, as well as image critiques.

Day 10: Tokyo

We’ll explore Tokyo for the last time this morning. We’ll have a celebration lunch before you leave at noon.
