DAY 7 – After breakfast Mark will be taking everyone back to Tokyo today for their flights home. Thank you for joining the Japan Photo Tour!
ITINERARY SUMMARY
Both photo tours offer the same level of photography instruction. The big difference however is that the January photo tour is quite physically demanding. We will be staying at different lodgings in different locations each night. We also need to roll our small suitcase and carry our backpack from train to train, which can get strenuous. The February photo tour, on the other hand, is much more relaxed, with only three different accommodations instead of six. The February version will have personal down-time for relaxing or shopping, whereas the January version is go-go-go! The January trip will see more locations, however if you have any health or mobility issues that cause tiredness after a lot of physical exertion, the February trip will be a perfect choice for you. Regardless of which option you choose, we use coin lockers within the train stations to store our larger bags when out doing photo walks, while transitioning from location to location. Both trips will have plenty of traditional Japanese food eating opportunities, however the February dates will have at least one guided tour by a local food expert.
JANUARY TRIP LOCATIONS: Tokyo, Enoshima, Kamakura, Kyoto, Obuse, Shibu Onsen, Karuizawa. Not much free time, always moving from place to place, plus long distance hiking and some bicycling.
FEBRUARY TRIP LOCATIONS: Tokyo (2 nights), Shibu Onsen (2 nights), Kyoto (2 nights). Slow paced walking with some free time scheduled.
