Destination: Japan Duration: 14 Nights, 15 Days Tour Dates: 28th January 2026 - 11th February2026 Guide: Jun Matsui
This 15 day tour takes you from the bustling metropolis of Tokyo to the snowy wastes of Hokkaido taking in the best of Japanese winter birding. We visit the crane centres at Arasaki and Akan, the forested hillsides of the Japanese Alps, the wetlands around Kaga and the pack ice off the Shiretoko peninsula.
We hope to see monkeys bathing in hot springs surrounded by snow, sea eagles sat upon the pack ice or harbour walls and the magnificent Blakiston’s Fish Owl coming in to feed outside our bedroom windows. This is a great opportunity to visit a fascinating and beautiful country with an expert and experienced Japanese speaking guide.
This tour has many great photographic opportunities for those with a passion for photography with Japans winter background providing great atmospheric shots.
