Winter in Japan
Transport - Hotels - Onsens
We stay in 3-4 Star hotels, these are very nice, and you have your own room, but do be prepared as Japanese Hotel rooms are generally small. We do have a Farm House stay in Gokayama where we will room share for one night. Other than that, you will have your own space each night.
We use Bullet trains for our big moves, these travel at incredible speeds, are very comfortable and run to the minute, the Japanese are very punctual and hate to be running late. We also use the main train system for smaller journeys and some buses. Mayuko organizes all the transportation, and it all runs very smoothly. Your JR rail pass is included as is all transport during the workshop.
Some of the Hotels we stay at have an Onsen, this is a Japanese public bath that uses naturally hot water from a spring. It is very much a Japanese tradition, and I highly recommend them. Jump in at the end of the day for a total body relax.

Food and Meals
Japanese food is just amazing and is another highlight of this trip. A buffet breakfast is included each morning. We will purchase our own lunch each day, Mayuko will find us a cafe and help with translations and ordering. Our welcome and farewell dinners are included as is a traditional feast at Yudanaka, plus another traditional dinner at Gokayama. For the other main meals, we will eat as a group at a restaurant, and Its not a problem if you have dietary requirements as they will be cared for.
Suitability - Fitness Level
This workshop is open to any skill level, I will be on hand during the workshop to help and guide you with your photography, as it is a small group I work at each persons level fine-tuning the areas that they wish to work on.
There is a lot of walking on this trip, so you do need to be walk-fit.
