In reply to shel. Hi Shel, we have over 100 Japan posts on the site now taken on different trips and with different cameras over the years. Most are taken with Canon 450d and later the 600d with a 18-270 kit lens. We regularly use a zoom lens like this when travelling although it's not the best quality it's practical and limits the gear we are carrying on a daily basis as we walk a lot. Now I'm using the Olympus OMD EM1 with the pro lens which has a lot less zoom but I love the quality and it's smaller and lighter to carry.

I haven't been to Japan yet (hopefully 2015!), but these costumes look lovely. I definitely would want to check this out if the timing is right.

Such beautiful photos! Kyoto is my must-visit destination when I go to Japan, and thanks for your tip, I'll try to be there to see this festival.

In reply to Muza-chan. Thanks Muza-chan, our trouble now is we have so many events and things we like to visit for it's hard to decide what time of year to go back next.

In reply to Julie. I hope you get there next year Julie! I haven't been in autumn yet but both winter and spring were fantastic, it's one of those places I'll never tire of going back to.
