- This is a Japan winter photography vlog filmed on Japan's most northerly main island, Hokkaido. In this video we're on a photo safari , driving from Rausu in the north-east to Kushiro on the south coast.
We visit two extraordinary locations - Notsuke Peninsula and two Red Crowned Crane sanctuaries. In winter, the Notsuke Peninsula looks like the end of the earth. At 17 miles or 28km long, it is Japan’s longest sand spit, but its slowly disappearing.
The Tsurui Ito Red-crowned Crane Sanctuary and a field in Turui village offer amazing opportunities to photograph these beautiful birds.
Whether you are planning to travel to Japan when it re-opens, or just enjoy some virtual travel, you have come to the right place. Japan Photo Explore is a series of travel and photography vlogs and videos that show you some amazing places, some you’ve probably never heard of.
Hi, my name's Nick Pitsas. I am a photographer and video producer and I've been traveling to Japan since 2009, including five trips in winter, so if you have any questions about travel and photography in Japan, I'm happy to try to answer them. I look forward to your comments and questions. More videos are coming so if you’d like to see them, please click the notifications button so that you’ll know when new videos are uploaded.
For all the photography in this video my photography buddy Ted and I both used Fujifilm X-T2 camera bodies. For the bird photography we used Fujifilm XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 lenses. If you have any questions about gear, let me know.

The shots of the cranes are just amazing - thanks.
Thank you, Celia! Really pleased you liked the photos. It was amazing being there.
i liked the intro music it gave me harry plotter vibes
Wonderful mix of shots, subjects and wit. Those cranes are so elegant, they certainly seemed worthy of what looked like quite an adventure to get to see them. Beautiful stuff. Thank you.
Thanks for your very positive comments, John. Really pleased you enjoyed the video.
wow I love all the extra info you guys provide about the boats and fishing. Its actually very interesting and one the unique things I enjoy about your channel! Wonderful work
Thanks Nick and Ted. Great photos of the red-crowned cranes. The peninsula with all its dead trees was eerie and stark. I'd be interested to know more about the lives of the families fishing in that bay and how they get by season to season - and how they are coping with the slowly changing environment. Ted's comments on the geology of the landscape added to my appreciation of the place too.
Thanks for your comments, Malcolm. You could do a whole film on the seasonality of the work in Hokkaido. There are lots of people that can only do outdoor work for only part of the year. And in winter there are a lot of snow clearing jobs!
