We are renowned worldwide, for our autumn’s. When where to photography/tour, can be tricky. Almost 100% of brochures are leading you into “A Tourist Trap”. Photo Tours Japan with us, is mainly off the tourist track/traps. Often I'm asked by participants, “Where Are The People”. So we have started taking a drive by, the tourist areas, then quickly get to our location. While unless there really is something to photograph, that we can’t see in another location. This does not happen very often. The photo on this blog, is in the Matsumoto Castle area, 30 minutes away from the tourist areas. Those areas are packed with people from around the world, including from Japan, there are lineups to take a photo by a tree etc. In my opinion those locations are providing in most cases, needed revenue. So when it’s off season I stop into these areas, & give a little extra. But while I'm “Leading A Photo Tour Japan” we don’t have time to waste, only to enjoy, wth smiles.

Happy Zen Photography
