Private Horror Photography Journey into Japan's Lost Cave
"Step into Japan’s forgotten underworld on a cinematic 24-hour Japanese urbex (haikyo) experience and capture surreal photos inside a vast, water-filled cave wrapped in silence, shadows, and mystery".
🖋 Description:
This is not a tour. This is a private 24-hour horror photography journey into a hidden cave — a place almost completely unknown, yet alive with the echoes of something long gone.
Join me — a photographer and filmmaker who’s spent years exploring Japan’s forgotten places — on a deeply personal dark tourist photography journey. We meet at Shinjuku Station at midnight and travel by night bus to a remote prefecture. At sunrise, we’ll reach a vast, surreal cave — an abandoned place few dare to enter, and fewer still have photographed.
Unlike any photo tour, this is an artistic immersion. You won’t just take pictures — you’ll learn how to light, shoot, and emotionally approach cinematic ruins, handheld and raw. I’ll be there the entire time, not as a guide, but as a fellow artist — offering support, safety, and cinematic vision.
Thank you for your message! I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. I’m looking forward to connecting with you. - Adrian
