‘Off the Beaten Path’ or ‘Beyond Basic Tourism’ are frequent catchphrases used in Photography Tours and Photography Workshops, but Blain and his team have the means to introduce clients to parts of Japan that 99% of visitors never see. There is no sales pitch necessary and no frequently trafficked tourist spots on the itinerary. Blain and his team share their years of experience, allowing you to travel the ancient pilgrim’s routes that Emperors, Buddhist Monks, priests, and other noteworthy Japanese people have walked in the past.

Blain’s current team has over 300 years combined exploring Japan. If you’re interested in seeing iconic locales such as Tokyo, Tokyo by Night with a sake infusion, the Tokyo Sky Tree, the Imperial Palace, and other well-known locations such as Nagano, Kyoto, or Osaka, our Tokyo group can make that happen. Blain’s Japan Photography Tour clients have the opportunity to travel the three main islands of Japan surveying Okinawa, Kyushu, Gunma, Niigata, and the Hokkaido region. All of this exploration happens from an international visitor’s perspective, the same point of view that you, a customer, would enjoy when taking part in a photography tour. Tours go beyond the typical photo tour course so much so, that it feels as if you are an ambassador introducing your country and customs to people you have met for the first time.

The new photography workshops and tours will delve into areas similar to the land of Canada’s First Nations or the domain of the Australian Aborigines, rarely explored but brimming with traditional and native elements. In essence, Real Japan. While on the expedition, you will meet Japan people who embody Japan’s rich cultural traditions. These Samurai Traditions have been handed down for generations from father to son, and it is never too early to begin to bestow culture on the next generation.
