About the Tour

Japan may be known for its cherry blossoms but in truth, the fall foliage of Japan is more spectacular than any blossom and presents a photographer with endless inspiration.

A country of astonishing contrasts and remarkable beauty, this rare photography tour will showcase the wonders of Japan during Autumn. Under the guidance of master photographer Ignacio Palacios, you’ll photograph the country’s most impressive gardens, glimpse magnificent mountain landscapes and experience unforgettable cultural icons – from ancient Samurai traditions to sacred Shinto shrines. This is a blazing Autumnal adventure composed to perfection.

Over 14-days you’ll visit Japan’s most extraordinary destinations and discover an archipelago where ancient traditions are infused with modern life to create incredible visual stories that will truly inspire you.
