Autumn in Japan is coming! The colours are about to start turning the landscape into vibrant, majestic scenes. Its a wonderful time of year with majesty everywhere you look.

Here is a full collection of some autumn images from my last trip to Japan in Autumn of last year. They span across Central Japan from Nikko to Kyoto and the Japanese Alps in between.

Hello is that Europe?

I can forgive you for thinking so but this is Sunset Town on the Island of Phu Quoc in Vietnam.

This is a resort town woth architecture based on top travel destinations in Europe. You can see the influence of places in Italy, France and Spain but dialled up to 11.

There's always something going on here with non stop music and shows at night as well as stunning sunsets and beach clubs a plenty. Take a trip on the world's longest three rope cable car, check out the night market and food scene or just wander the cobblestone streets.

Its a different vibe to the rest of Vietnam but we'll worth a trip for something a bit put of the ordinary.

This is one of my favourite places on the planet. The ancient landscape, carved out over millions of years by water leaving stunning gorges, the crazy greenery that exists down in the gorges that feels a world away from the surface above and the stunning weather that passes through.

This is not another planet, although it looks like one. This is Karijini National Park in Western Australia.

It is a long road trip up to visit from Perth but if this isn't on your bucket list, it should be! Even if you arent as enthusiastic about rocks as I am, you can find amazing hikes, swimming holes and adventure everywhere!

I was even lucky enough to come home with a fiancee from this trip which made it an even more magical experience! 🥳

A marvellous morning for a Moon Rise.

On a beautiful calm morning, the moonrise lined up with the sunrise over Busselton Jetty. I hadn't planned on it but when I saw it I knew I had to make the shot.

Swipe through for a couple more images taken through the early morning and sunrise. The Jetty is stunning in all colours!

Rural Japan is best Japan in my opinion. You can get away from most of the tourists to find some peace and quiet, find quaint little villages each with their own unique charm and the people there are always so happy to see you passing through.

Some of my favourite places to visit are the old preserved villages that look and feel like you have just stepped back hundreds of years in time. Places such as the Post Towns on the Nakasendo Trail or Gassho-Zukuri style villages like Shirakawa-go.

Here is a selection of images from in and around small villages in Japan.

Have you ever felt that you're being watched? Well at Otagi Nenbutsuji, that feeling is amplified to the max. This temple features around 1200 stone statues, all with unique faces, emotions, posesamd held items, showing a huge cast of fun characters.

Plenty of them have nice mossy hairdos which really add to the ambience and atmosphere of the place showing age and wisdom amongst the 'Rakan' statues which were all placed between 1981 and 1991. Each statue was created by a different individual as well which really shows the size of the project.

If you're visiting Kyoto, make sure to add this unique location to your travels. You can even combine a walk or journey to a number of other temples on the western side of Kyoto and even end up at the famous Arashiyama Bamboo forest for a spectacular day out.

Which of these faces most resembles your own or someone you know?

If momiji viewing isn't on your bucket list, rearrange your priorities! This stunning split waterfall is one of the best places to see the leaves change as its so easy to access.

If you can believe it, this view is nestled between a cafe and a souvenir shop so you can grab a coffee or some lunch and sit down and and enjoy this peaceful view. With a car park and a bus stop right outside there's really no effort involed so the bang for your buck is off the chart!
