People think that photo tours in and near Tokyo are all about cityscapes and street photography, but only a short drive away from Tokyo is.a photography adventure that is all natural and in the winter only, the Icicles of Misotsuchi.

Misotsuchi is reachable via public transportation, but Japan Dreamscapes (JDS) Tours use luxury SUVs whenever possible to allow to ride to your destination in style, refreshed and ready to photograph the spectacular ice formations in Misotsuchi.

Photographing the icicles of Misotsuchi, you may be wishing for colder temperatures to make your photo tour even more enjoyable.  Why?  Because in colder weather, the icicles become longer, and their diameter also increases, giving you more glistening icicles to capture in your once in a lifetime photographs.  Some icicles have been recorded at 30 meters wide and 10 meters tall.  They are truly a sight to behold.

During mid-winter, there is a light-up event, so when night falls, you are able to shoot pictures of polychromatic icicles, shimmering for your camera.  The illumination elevates this natural phenomenon to the level of winter art, and you should definitely join a photo tour and enjoy this as well as the nearby temples and shrines and the alpine highlands.  This is a truly multi-faceted tour just outside of Tokyo.  Don’t worry about making any arrangements for your trip, JDS will take care of every shrine and temple donation as well as your entry into the icicle illumination.  Come join us!
