										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color: #b31933;">CHERRY BLOSSOM &amp; HOT SPRING</span></h1>
<h2>Organized group Photo Tour to Tohoku, Japan (6 people)</h2>
<h2>9 days tour &#8211; April/May 2018</h2>
<p>In the past month of April, our photo tour to Tohoku, “Cherry Blossom &amp; Hot Springs 2018” took place. We organized a photo tour for a small group of 6 participants from different countries: Spain, Israel and The United States, and different ages from 29 to 82 years old! We are very happy to say that the tour was very successful in spite of the multiple languages and age difference. We believe all participants had a great time!</p>

<p>Our main goal was to photograph cherry blossom trees in different locations throughout the northern part of Japan, a region known as Tohoku. We basically started from Yamagata city and from there we drove all the way up to Aomori, the northernmost prefecture in the main island of Japan, during the 9 days of the photo tour. Here is a small photo-diary of our adventure!!</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DAY 1 ~ ZAO</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Even if the weather were against us, we believe that it is always possible to take advantage of the situation. No matter what, there is always a way to take interesting photographs. And often, pictures come out more interesting than perfect postcard picture weather. And this was the case. Without rain nor fog we wouldn&#8217;t have got this nostalgic cherry blossom picture!</p>
<div id="attachment_5387" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5387" class="wp-image-5387" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0200R-web.jpg" alt="Akashi Travel Cherry blossom Photo Tour" width="700" height="467" /><p id="caption-attachment-5387" class="wp-caption-text">In spite of the light rain and thick fog, we still managed to take beautiful pictures of cherry blossom trees up in a hill, on the way to Zao. Probably, without the fog we would have missed this nostalgic and romantic look of the picture! ©Akashi Photos</p></div>
<p>Once in Zao we walked around the small village with its little hot spring wooden houses here and there, and all the steam coming from pipes everywhere. At dusk, with the rain and the fog, pictures turned out mysterious, as if it were a movie set! In our tours we always try to take pictures of the amazing blue hour at least once or twice!</p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DAY 2 ~ YAMADERA</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The next day we visited Yamadera temple, an amazing Buddhist temple located on a hill. The stone path of more than 1.000 steps that leads to the top is as beautiful as the amazing view of the valley that you can enjoy from the top. This place is definitely a must in Yamagata prefecture!</p>
<div id="attachment_5452" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5452" class="wp-image-5452 size-full" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0273R-w.jpg" alt="Yamadera temple with Sakura" width="700" height="467" /><p id="caption-attachment-5452" class="wp-caption-text">Cherry blossom petals start covering the ground at the very bottom of Yamadera temple drawing a beautiful pinky natural carpet! ©Akashi Photos</p></div>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DAY 3 ~ KAKUNODATE</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Another hot spot for cherry blossom viewing is the samurai town of Kakunodate. Along the river there is a long row of huge cherry blossom trees, a perfect scenery to practice our skills with landscape and nature photography.</p>
<div id="attachment_5486" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5486" class="wp-image-5486" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/kakunodate.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="700" /><p id="caption-attachment-5486" class="wp-caption-text">Cherry blossom trees in Kakunodate. ©Akashi Photos</p></div>

<div id="attachment_5456" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5456" class="wp-image-5456 size-full" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0518-R-w.jpg" alt="cherry blossom photo tour to japan" width="700" height="478" /><p id="caption-attachment-5456" class="wp-caption-text">Cherry blossom at Kakunodate. ©Akashi Photos</p></div>
<p>After our visit to Kakunodate we headed towards our third ryokan, lost in a deep valley in the mountains. Even though the hotel wasn&#8217;t far away from Kakunodate town, while we drove up to Nyuto Onsen Village, and as we were approaching to our final destination, snow started appearing beside the road.</p>
<div id="attachment_5362" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5362" class="wp-image-5362 size-full" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Tohoku-Photo-tour-046-l.jpg" alt="Akashi Travel cherry blossom photo tour Japan" width="700" height="525" /><p id="caption-attachment-5362" class="wp-caption-text">This is the aerial view of our &#8220;fairy tale&#8221; ryokan with thatched roof old buildings at dusk, all surrounded by snow. We were provided with boots and ski poles to go down! This was a big surprise for everyone, even us! ©Akashi Photos</p></div>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DAY 4 ~ LAKE TAZAWA</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Lake Tazawa is a caldera lake and the deepest lake in Japan at 423 meters. We stopped there to photograph the transparent crystal water and Shinto shrine on the lake.</p>
<div id="attachment_5478" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5478" class="size-full wp-image-5478" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/tazawako1.jpg" alt="Torii, Shinto Shrine Gate, of Gozanoishi Shrine on the Lake Tazawa." width="700" height="700" /><p id="caption-attachment-5478" class="wp-caption-text">Gozanoishi Shrine on the Lake Tazawa. ©Akashi Photos</p></div>
<p>On the way to the next ryokan we made different stops to photograph cherry blossom and the beauty of the Japanese landscape here and there. One of the best things of our tours is that whenever we find anything worth shooting, we can just stop the mini van and take the picture.</p>
<div id="attachment_5356" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5356" class="wp-image-5356" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Tohoku-Photo-tour-041-l.jpg" alt="Akashi Travel cherry blossom photo tour Japan" width="700" height="505" /><p id="caption-attachment-5356" class="wp-caption-text">Here all participants photographing the landscape! ©Akashi Photos</p></div>

<p>There are many aspects that make our photo tours to Japan special, but definitely one of them is food. Japan is probably one of the best countries in the world to enjoy raw fish as well as wild vegetables cooked in a million different ways. And it is not only about the food or how it is cooked, but also how it is displayed to the guests. It is art in Japan. So, we take food very seriously!</p>
<div id="attachment_5320" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5320" class="wp-image-5320 size-full" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Tohoku-Photo-tour-018-l.jpg" alt="Akashi Travel cherry blossom photo tour Japan" width="700" height="478" /><p id="caption-attachment-5320" class="wp-caption-text">Kaiseki dinner in one of our carefully selected ryokans for this spring tour.

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DAY 5 ~ HIROSAKI</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Next day was the climax of cherry blossom photo session! Hirosaki castle and park are one of the most famous spots all over Japan to view and photograph cherry blossom trees. This year we were lucky enough to get there at the best time of the whole two weeks that this natural phenomenon takes place! Outside the castle sakura petals were already falling, covering the inner moat of the castle with a pink carpet. Inside, sakura were at its full bloom!</p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DAY 6 ~ Mt. HAKKODA</p>
</blockquote>
<p>After such an intense day full of Sakura, cherry blossom,  we headed towards Hakkoda mountain, still covered with snow. We decided to go back to shoot nature, rivers and naked trees. Take a look at the following pictures, taken the next day, and not too far from the city! Japan is just amazing, you can enjoy &#8220;hanami&#8221; (cherry blossom viewing) at the same time that you can go skiing, all within 50km!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">DAY 7 ~ TOWADA CITY &amp; OIRASE RIVER</p>
</blockquote>
<p>After so much nature we dedicated a couple of hour to culture, stopping by Towada city to visit Towada Art Center. This museum has the peculiarity of allowing visitors to take pictures in most of its gallery space, which turned out to be a lot of fun.</p>
<div id="attachment_5314" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5314" class="wp-image-5314 size-full" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Tohoku-Photo-tour-015-l.jpg" alt="Akashi Travel cherry blossom photo tour Japan" width="700" height="525" /><p id="caption-attachment-5314" class="wp-caption-text">Group picture time!! ©Akashi Photos</p></div>

<p>Oirase river was our next destination, again a must for nature lovers and photographers in general. In the river we practiced slow shutter speed photography with filters to capture the flowing water.</p>

<p>After Oirase River, we arrive at a ryokan lost in the valley without electricity. But nothing impede us from taking pictures!!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">DAY 8 ~ Mt. OSORE</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Finally, we arrived at our final destination, Osorezan, Mt. Osore, one of the three most spiritual mountains in Japan. We find this place so special, peaceful and somehow out of the world.</p>

<p>To make our last night really special, we actually slept in the temple, had vegetarian dinner like the Buddhist monks and woke up at 6:00am for prayer. It took a long time to reach to this isolated temple, but it was definitely worth it!!</p>

<h2>Viaje fotográfico organizado en grupo (6 personas)</h2>
<h2>Viaje de 9 días &#8211; Abril/Mayo 2018</h2>
<p><span class="" title="">El pasado mes de abril tuvo lugar nuestro viaje fotográfico por Tohoku, &#8220;Cerezos en flor &amp; Baños termales 2018&#8221;.</span> <span class="" title="">Organizamos un recorrido fotográfico para un pequeño grupo de 6 participantes de diferentes países: España, Israel y Estados Unidos, y diferentes edades de 29 a 82 años.</span> <span class="" title="">Estamos muy felices de poder decir que el tour fue un éxito a pesar de la variedad de idiomas y la diferencia de edades.</span> <span class="" title="">¡Creemos que todos los participantes lo pasaron genial!</span></p>

<p><span class="" title="">Nuestro objetivo principal era fotografiar los cerezos en flor en diferentes lugares de la parte norte de Japón, una región conocida como Tohoku.</span> <span class="" title="">Básicamente comenzamos desde la ciudad de Yamagata y desde allí nos dirigimos hasta Aomori, la prefectura más al norte de la isla principal de Japón, durante los 9 días del viaje fotográfico.</span> <span class="" title="">¡Aquí tenéis un pequeño foto-diario de nuestra aventura!</span></p>

<p><span class="" title="">A pesar de que el clima no nos acompañó mucho en los primeros días, nosotros estamos convencidos de que siempre es posible aprovechar cualquier situación para conseguir buenas fotografías.</span> <span class="" title="">No importa la situación, siempre hay una manera de tomar fotografías interesantes.</span> <span class="" title="">Y muchas veces, las imágenes sacadas en situaciones adversas suelen dar  lugar a imágenes más interesantes que las perfectas fotografías de postal.</span> ¡<span title="">Y este fue el caso!</span> <span class="" title="">Sin lluvia ni niebla, ¡no habríamos capturado esta nostálgica imagen de este impresionante cerezo en flor!</span></p>

<p><span class="" title="">Una vez llegados al pueblo de Zao, caminamos por sus callejuelas con pequeños baños termales de madera esparcidos  por aquí y por allá.</span> <span class="" title="">Al anochecer, con la lluvia y la niebla, las imágenes se volvieron misteriosas, ¡como si se tratara de una película!</span> <span class="" title="">En nuestros tours siempre tratamos de tomar fotos de la asombrosa hora azul al menos una o dos veces.</span></p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DÍA 2 ~ YAMADERA</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span title="">Al día siguiente visitamos el templo de Yamadera, un increíble templo budista situado en lo alto de una colina.</span> <span title="">El camino de piedra de más de 1.000 escalones que conduce a la cima es tan hermoso como la increíble vista del valle que se divisa una vez arriba.</span> <span class="" title="">¡Este lugar es definitivamente una visita obligada en la prefectura de Yamagata!</span></p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DÍA 3 ~ KAKUNODATE</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span class="" title="">Otro lugar imprescindible para ver los cerezos en flor en su máximo esplendor es la ciudad samurai de Kakunodate.</span> <span class="" title="">A lo largo del río hay una larga hilera de enormes cerezos en flor, un escenario perfecto para practicar nuestras habilidades fotográficas con el paisaje y la fotografía de naturaleza.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_5486" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5486" class="wp-image-5486" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/kakunodate.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="700" /><p id="caption-attachment-5486" class="wp-caption-text">Cerezos en flor en Kakunodate. ©Akashi Photos</p></div>

<p><span class="" title="">Después de nuestra visita a Kakunodate nos dirigimos hacia nuestro tercer ryokan, perdido en un profundo valle en las montañas.</span> <span class="" title="">Aunque el hotel no estaba lejos de la ciudad de Kakunodate, mientras íbamos en coche hasta Nyuto Onsen Village, y cuando nos estábamos acercando a nuestro destino final, la nieve comenzó a aparecer al lado de la carretera.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_5362" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5362" class="wp-image-5362 size-full" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Tohoku-Photo-tour-046-l.jpg" alt="Akashi Travel cherry blossom photo tour Japan" width="700" height="525" /><p id="caption-attachment-5362" class="wp-caption-text"><span title="">Esta es la vista aérea de nuestro ryokan de &#8220;cuento de hadas&#8221; con edificios con techos de paja antiguos al atardecer, todo rodeado de nieve.</span> <span title="">¡Nos proporcionaron botas y bastones de esquí para bajar!</span> <span class="" title="">¡Esto fue una gran sorpresa para todos, incluso para nosotros! </span>©Akashi Photos</p></div>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DÍA 4 ~ LAGO TAZAWA</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span class="" title="">El lago Tazawa es un lago caldera y es el más profundo de Japón con 423 metros.</span> <span class="" title="">Nos detuvimos allí para fotografiar el agua cristalina transparente y el santuario sintoísta en el lago.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_5478" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5478" class="size-full wp-image-5478" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/tazawako1.jpg" alt="Torii, Shinto Shrine Gate, of Gozanoishi Shrine on the Lake Tazawa." width="700" height="700" /><p id="caption-attachment-5478" class="wp-caption-text">Santuario Gozanoishi en el lago Tazawa. ©Akashi Photos</p></div>
<p><span title="">De camino hacia el siguiente ryokan realizamos diferentes paradas para fotografiar las flores de cerezo y la belleza del paisaje japonés aquí y allá.</span> <span class="" title="">Una de las mejores cosas de nuestros tours es que cada vez que encontramos algo que vale la pena fotografiar, podemos detener la furgoneta y tomar la fotografía.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_5356" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5356" class="wp-image-5356" src="https://akashitravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Tohoku-Photo-tour-041-l.jpg" alt="Akashi Travel cherry blossom photo tour Japan" width="700" height="505" /><p id="caption-attachment-5356" class="wp-caption-text">¡Aquí todos los participantes fotografiando el paisaje! ©Akashi Photos</p></div>

<p><span class="" title="">Hay muchos aspectos que hacen que nuestros viajes fotográficos a Japón sean especiales, pero definitivamente uno de ellos es la comida.</span> <span class="" title="">Japón es probablemente uno de los mejores países del mundo para disfrutar de pescado crudo y verduras silvestres cocinadas de diferentes maneras.</span> <span class="" title="">Y no solo se trata de la comida o de cómo se cocina, sino también de cómo se muestra a los invitados.</span> <span title="">Esto en Japón es todo un arte. ¡Es por ello que en Akashi Travel nos </span><span class="" title="">tomamos la comida muy en serio!</span></p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">DÍA 5 ~ HIROSAKI</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span title="">¡El día siguiente era el  día álgido de los cerezos en flor!</span> <span title="">El castillo y el parque Hirosaki son uno de los lugares más famosos de todo Japón para ver y fotografiar los árboles de cerezos en flor.</span> <span title="">¡Este año tuvimos la suerte de llegar allí en el mejor momento de las dos semanas completas en que este fenómeno natural tiene lugar!</span> <span class="" title="">Fuera del castillo, los pétalos de sakura ya estaban cayendo, cubriendo el foso interior del castillo con una alfombra rosada.</span> <span class="" title="">¡En el interior, los cerezos estaban en su máximo esplendor!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">DÍA 6 ~ MONTE HAKKODA</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span class="" title="">Después de un día tan intenso lleno de Sakura, flores de cerezo, nos dirigimos hacia la montaña Hakkoda, todavía cubierta de nieve.</span> <span class="" title="">Decidimos volver a fotografiar la naturaleza, los ríos y los árboles desnudos.</span> <span class="" title="">Echad un vistazo a las siguientes imágenes, tomadas al día siguiente, ¡y no muy lejos de la ciudad!</span> <span class="" title="">Japón es simplemente increíble, puedes disfrutar de &#8220;hanami&#8221; (observación de los cerezos en flor) al mismo tiempo que puedes ir a esquiar, todo en una distancia de no más de 50 km!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">DÍA 7 ~ TOWADA &amp; RÍO OIRASE</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span title="">Después de tanta naturaleza dedicamos un par de horas a la cultura, pasando por la ciudad de Towada para visitar Towada Art Center.</span> <span class="" title="">Este museo tiene la peculiaridad de permitir a los visitantes tomar fotografías en la mayor parte de sus salas, lo que resultó ser muy divertido.</span></p>

<p><span title="">El río Oirase fue nuestro próximo destino, de nuevo una visita obligada para los amantes de la naturaleza y los fotógrafos en general.</span> <span class="" title="">En el río practicamos la fotografía de baja velocidad con obturaciones lentas usando filtros para capturar el agua que fluye.</span></p>

<p>Después del río Oirase, llegamos a un ryokan sin electricidad. Pero ello no nos impidió sacar fotografías preciosas!</p>

<p>Cuando el sol se pone, la única luz que tiene este ryokan son las linternas de aceite y la luna &#8230; ¡una experiencia muy especial!</p>

<p><span title="">Finalmente, llegamos a nuestro destino final, Osorezan, Monte</span> <span title="">Osore, una de las tres montañas más espirituales de Japón.</span> Visitar <span class="" title="">este lugar tan especial y lleno de paz, como si de alguna manera fuera del mundo, fue una forma mágica de terminar nuestro tour!</span></p>

<p><span class="" title="">Para hacer que nuestra última noche fuera realmente especial, dormimos en el templo, cenamos comida vegetariana como los monjes budistas y nos levantamos a las 6:00 am para orar.</span> <span class="" title="">¡Nos llevó mucho tiempo llegar a este templo aislado, pero definitivamente valió la pena!</span></p>
