A tour of Naruto’s scenic locations with a professional photographer.
Naruto City in Tokushima Prefecture faces the Naruto Strait and is surrounded by abundant nature, with scenic spots that will make you want to reach for your camera. On this photography tour, professional photographer Takehito Miyatake will teach you where and how to capture the picturesque scenery.
Miyatake will take you to locations where you can capture evocative scenes at sunset, including the Kurosaki Ferry, which local residents use in their daily lives, and Yomomi Observatory. At each stop, he will gently explain which direction to shoot and how to compose your photos, so listen carefully before taking your shots.
The tour concludes at Naruto Park, one of Naruto’s most scenic locations, where you can see the Onaruto Bridge and Naruto Strait up close. First, photograph the bridge and strait from above at Senjojiki Observatory. Then, head down to Aigahama Beach and photograph the bridge from below. With Miyatake’s guidance, you should be able to capture an exceptional image that would normally be difficult to achieve.
An optional dinner at Minami, featuring dishes made with seasonal local ingredients, is also available for an additional ¥3,300 per person. Why not discuss the photos you took and enjoy a lively conversation about cameras?
