Fuji Autumn Leaves Photo Tours are carefully designed to ensure every client discovers the magic of Japan’s iconic landscapes, capturing breathtaking moments that last a lifetime. With expert guidance, you’ll explore each of the stunning Fuji Five Lakes, including the world-renowned Lake Kawaguchiko and the equally mesmerizing hidden gems of the region.
Discover the Unique Beauty of Lake Saiko
Among the Fuji Five Lakes, Lake Saiko offers a uniquely challenging perspective for photographers aiming to frame Mt. Fuji alongside vibrant autumn foliage. The surrounding mountains overlap with the majestic Fujisan, creating a dynamic backdrop that requires careful positioning. Fortunately, our experienced JDS photography workshop leaders know the perfect spots to help you craft the ultimate shot, blending fiery reds, oranges, and golden hues with Mt. Fuji’s awe-inspiring presence.
A Photographer’s Paradise Awaits
The Lake Saiko area is not just about the view—it’s an immersive experience. The lake is surrounded by picturesque hiking trails, where the vivid autumn scenery provides endless inspiration. These trails are popular among visitors seeking to capture the quintessential photo that encapsulates their exploration of the Fuji Five Lakes region and the unparalleled beauty of Mt. Fuji in fall.
Venture Into the Aokigahara Jukai: The Enigmatic Sea of Trees
Just a short distance from Lake Saiko lies the Aokigahara Jukai, also known as the Sea of Trees. This vast, photogenic forest spans 30 square kilometers, growing on hardened lava left by Fujisan’s last major eruption in 864 AD. The unique volcanic terrain, devoid of traditional soil, supports lush greenery that thrives in natural planting pots of lava and peat moss. The dense forest creates a serene, sound-absorbing environment, perfect for photographers looking to capture a sense of solitude and mystery.
Explore the Fascinating Lava Caves
For even more photographic opportunities, explore the three nearby caves—The Ice Cave, The Wind Cave, and The Bat Cave. These natural wonders offer dramatic interiors filled with twists, turns, and fascinating formations, while the entrance areas are framed by autumn’s vivid palette of gold, red, and orange. The interplay of light and shadow in the caves, combined with the vibrant foliage outside, makes these spots a must-visit for any photographer.
