Japan

This is a tour impression of our yearly trip to Japan in February. Watch Japanese Macaques as they enjoy the steaming hot spring baths and play in deep snow. It is filmed in the Jigokudani Monkey Park (Jigokudani Yaen Kōen) near Nagano. After our visit here, we fly to Hokkaido, the most northern island of Japan. There we photograph Japanese cranes as they perform their gracefull dances, eagles floating on the pack-ice and whooper swans on a frozen lake with a magical backdrop of white tipped mountains and steamy hotsprings.
