Wildflowers of Kamikochi - 9th - 12th Aug 2026
During our summer visit to Kamikochi, we were welcomed by an abundance of wild flowers—Geranium thunbergii, thistles, Silene stellatoidea, Dianthus shinanensis, Adenophora remotiflora, and Impatiens noli-tangere, just to name a few.
Taking a relaxed approach, we captured these blooms using a variety of cameras. My daughter shot with the E-M10, while I took the rest of the photos.

Although I only gave her a quick explanation of how to use Aperture Priority mode, she made full use of the kit lens and captured remarkably beautiful images. Her photo of the thistle, in particular, is so vivid that it almost leaps off the screen, conveying the very atmosphere of the moment. For my photos, I used a D850 and a D5500.
Sharing and looking through our photos together at the inn after a day of shooting was such a wonderful experience.
