Trip Summary

Our Snow Monkeys and Cranes expeditions provide opportunities to enjoy a Japan that few Westerners experience: Japan in winter. For photographers and aficionados of wildlife, people, and Japanese culture, these will be memorable departures full of snow-filled landscapes punctuated by troops of dancing red-crowned cranes, flocks of sea eagles, and bathing snow monkeys.
