Welcome to The Lens India’s Japan Autumn Landscapes and Wildlife Tours — an immersive photography journey blending culture, color, and wild encounters.
Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or an enthusiastic traveler with a camera, this tour is your chance to witness Japan autumn landscapes and wildlife tours at its finest.
Why Choose Autumn for Wildlife and Landscape Photography in Japan?
1. The Colors of Nature at Their Peak
Autumn in Japan runs from mid-October to late November. This period transforms the landscape into a vibrant canvas of:
- Crimson maples
- Golden ginkgo trees
- Amber beech forests
- Copper-colored rice paddies
These colors not only elevate your landscape shots — they also create magical backdrops for wildlife encounters.
2. Active and Visible Wildlife
Fall is a time of preparation in the animal world. You’ll witness species in full activity — gathering food, preparing for migration or hibernation, and more visible due to thinning vegetation.
Highlights include:
- Japanese macaques in colorful forest groves
- Sika deer rutting in Nara’s temple parks and wild meadows
- Migratory birds over misty lakes in Nagano and Hokkaido\
- Ezo red foxes in autumn-grass backdrops
Our Japan Autumn Landscapes and Wildlife Tours are curated around high-probability sightings and the most photogenic habitats.
