Happy Holidays and Year of the Rabbit from JapanDreamscapes Photography!  Thankfully, in 2022, Japan opened its borders, and we were able to host several Japan Photo Workshops, our first in nearly three years.  Our workshop leaders and team members are excited to be back in the field, and we have several fully booked photography workshops, such as the annual JDS Hokkaido photo tour which is generally sold out one or two years in advance.   Everyone is looking forward to the end of corona, and it may finally be coming into sight, but until we reach the epidemic stage, our workshop leaders will be continuing preparing PPE kits for participants to make sure everyone remains healthy on my workshops, and we at JDS will do everything in our power so everyone returns home Covid- Free and safe.

Our workshop leaders are currently camping and meditating ahead of our February Japan photography workshops, enjoying some of the finest healing milky white hot springs that Hokkaido has to offer.  Being a Hokkaido local pays some sweet dividends.  Their cameras are never far away, and since they approach everything with the Zen beginner’s mindset, they’re happy to once again enjoy locations in Hokkaido they’ve grown to love and cherish in the more than two decades they’ve spent exploring regions throughout Japan’s northern island with the same passion as when they first visited.  

Everyone at JapanDreamscapes Photography wishes you, your family, and friends a safe and happy holiday season.  We’re all looking forward to reading your comments and messages by email and on social media, and we appreciate the many friends who have sent us 2023 calendars and season’s greetings cards.  We are most looking forward to hosting you for those once in a lifetime Japan photo tours and photography in 2023.
