One of my favourite cultural events on our Autumn tours to Japan is our photo shoot with some of the Maiko and Geiko of Kyoto. Known to most westerners as Geisha. This is not a word they ever use in Kyoto. In Kyoto they are Geiko – literally “Woman of Art”, and Maiko, the apprentice Geiko – Literally “Girl of Dance”.

Some of the more diverse range of photography we do in Japan during our Autumn Colours of Japan Photo Tour. Though not actually Autumn colours, the life on the streets is a big part of visiting Japan, so not including this would be like walking around with one eye closed all the time.
I have put the finishing touches on our latest Autumn Colours of Japan Photo tour for 2020. We have capitalised on the experiences of the last few years, refining our itinerary and improving the plan to produce the most comprehensive tour possible.
We don’t just cover one field or style of photography, we immerse you in many diverse opportunities to express yourself.
Last Saturday evening, March 10, at 11.45pm I finally completed the web-page for my Japan Photo Tour for November 2018, by 11.50pm I had 2 bookings. The next morning, I had another booking. Monday morning I had booking number 4, Tuesday morning booking 5,6 and 7, leaving just 3 places left.
By 3.30pm Tuesday all of those places were taken and I had 4 people on the waiting list… That’s a truly amazing response and it took me completely by surprise. I am used to Bhutan and Iceland selling out fast, but fast is usually a couple of weeks, not 2.5 days… I didn’t even have time to send a newsletter…
Thanks to everyone who has enquired about this tour, and I am sorry to those who really wanted to come, but missed out this year, you will be on top of the list for this tour next year. If you would also like to be on that early notification list send me an email at tours@adammonk.com
