Fuji Five Lakes
Why visit?
We're taking you to Japan for this Locations feature, partly because it's one of the easiest places for Australian photographers to visit but also because you'll find subjects for your camera just about anywhere you look. There are plenty of things that set Japan apart from its Asian neighbours.
It's safe and clean, it has excellent public transport, delicious and healthy food and even if you don't speak the language, the people are friendly and many of them can understand English, even if they are reluctant to speak it. It's also relatively affordable,
Concentrating on a single area is the best strategy in our opinion because it enables you to get a real feel for Japanese life and customs. If your itinerary takes you from place to place you won't have time to look more closely at a culture that is radically different from our own and has a lot to offer to thoughtful visitors.
