Led by a bilingual professional landscape photographer, this workshop takes small groups of up to eight participants through Hirosaki Castle Park's most iconic and lesser-known sakura compositions. The session begins at golden hour to capture the castle and its moat in warm light, then continues into the blue hour for illuminated night photography of the blossom reflections. Participants receive real-time coaching on depth of field, composition with the castle as a background subject, and long-exposure techniques for silky moat reflections. A post-session digital review is included, and participants leave with a curated set of professional-quality images.
