The country offers a lot of photo opportunities. No matter which place you go, you will always find a moment that is best to take a picture with.
The following are some of the best spots considered by photographers the most photogenic places.
- Perhaps the most popular is the golden pavilion in Kyoto Kinkaku-ji. This place is constantly visited by a lot of tourists, locals, expats and tourists from all over the world so expect this place to be very busy. Kinkaku-ji is a small temple that is wrapped with gold leaf that is situated in a Japanese garden. This place is beautiful during spring but also beautiful on its own during winter. When you have the right lights the temple will be reflected directly to the pond.
- One of the busiest places of the world can be found in Japan which is the Shibuya Crossing. This may not be suited to other photographers taste but most of them find this place truly fascinating. The crossing comes in all directions and when pedestrian’s starts crossing during red lights, you will find it very chaotic from a distance. The difference in this kind of crossing is that most of the locals are respectful with each other that you do not find the 'chaos' really that chaotic. Its buildings make you feel the crossing in Times Square.
- Going to Miyajima Island, you will meet the floating gate of the Itsukushima Shrine, which is one of the most iconic and popular images in Japan located in the Hiroshima Prefecture. The gate, known locally as torii is submerged to the ocean partially during high tide. When the tide is low, you can walk to the gate. There was already a gate in this place since the year 1168. During night time the torii is illuminated at night.
