Authentic Japan Cherry Blossom Photo Tours vs. Run of the Mill!

Before I share what an Authentic Cherry Blossom Photo Tour is with you, I’m going to tell you what most visitors and visiting photographers will experience when they come to Japan on the cherry blossoms every year in spring, millions of tourists flocking to the same run of the mill tourist spots in anticipation of discovering the perfect cherry blossoms.  However, the information that 95% of the people researching Japan comes filtered through search engines such as Bing, Yahoo, Google, and others.  The typical tourist company or agency simply wants to separate you from your money as quickly as possible, and their cookie cutter itineraries allow them to do just that.  They don’t value you as a client; you are more a commodity.

A Typical Japan Tour with Guide

Lantern Festival at Buddhist Monastery Sanctuary

Clients on JDS photography workshops, get to experience authentic Japan, and take part in ancient ceremonies, and not only observe.

Spring Cherry Blossom Festival - Hopefully it will be held this year!

Finding the perfect cherry blossoms is all about the timing. And that is why JDS goes cross country!

Morioka Cherry Blossoms, at an ancient shrine

From the moment my team and I greet photography workshop clients at Haneda International Airport (HND), to departure at Tokyo-Haneda Airport, our clients can sit back and relax, stress free as Blain Harasymiw photography workshops are fully-inclusive with business-class lodgings, foods, with a carefree feel, plus our clients have comfy seating for transportation of travel, with plenty of are and leg room.  Also, all level of photographer is welcome.  All camera formats are also welcome: digital, handy-cams, scoping with iPhone large format, film, etc.    Most days start before sunrise and finish after sunset, during the registration process participant’s preferences are recorded, and we make reservations for the finest cuisines available in our region, so once your full day of photography is concluded, it’s time to sample traditional Japanese fare, or if the participant wants a few tastes from home, that may be provided.  Also, if a participant wishes to indulge in an evening happy hour, I am happy to provide some of the finest saké, or rice wine, that Japan has to offer.  

To experience the true beauty of a country and the perfect cherry blossoms, you have to know the perfect cross country ancient pilgrimage routes, and the best way to experience this is with a professional adventure photographer, who knows the best locations and times of day to visit, depending on weather, plus as an amateur historical I enjoy to share my knowledge locations we visit.  My team and I always deliver a new perspective of Japan on every adventure, the True Untold Stories of Authentic Japan.

Cherry Blossom Lighting Event

Sakura Hanami events are always worth a visit, on these evenings our workshop participants usually eat at the events, instead of heading back to their lodgings. Namaste🙏

Tea Time while on a road trip scouting

The JDS annual Cherry Blossom photo workshop and Autumn Leaves photo workshop follow a similar route, and annually our workshop leader scouts with family and friends. During tea time, he finds a nice spot and sets up his seats to enjoy forest bathing.

Enjoy an All-Inclusive Cherry Blossoms Experience with JDS in 2024! Sorry, 2023 is fully booked!
