Cherry Blossoms seen on Japan Photo Tours are one of the most noteworthy photographic sights second, perhaps, only to Mt. Fuji as an emblem of Japan.  However, no one thing in Japan is more synonymous with spring in Japan than the cherry blossom, and the sakura are a quintessential beauty unparalleled all over the world.  A spring cherry blossoms photography tour is the best way to enjoy the season where everything comes alive in Japan, yet many people think that cherry blossoms come in just a few varieties and that from region to region that volume of cherry blossoms will give photographers the best shutter chances during a photo workshop.

 

Cherry blossoms have very different characteristics depending on where they are in Japan and what part of the season they are blooming, and they also come with added benefits.  Many photographers focus exclusively on the the sakura, but on several occasions, photographers are blessed with an inquisitive visitor to the cherry blossoms adding a birding photography dimension to your Cherry Blossom Photo Tour, the mejiro.  Mejiro arrive as the cherry blossoms open to extract the delicious nectar from the cherry blossoms.  The mejiro can be, however, a bit elusive, but part of a Japan Dreamscapes photography tour is discussing photography conditions and the correct gear so you can capture the mejiro as it flutters from blossom to blossom.  The contrast of the pictures with the pink blossoms and the shades of green and the white-eye of the mejiro mean unforgettable pictures.

 

The fleeting beauty of the cherry blossom awaits you.  Join a photography workshop and chase the rare delight that is the Japanese cherry blossom.
