ITINERARY INSPIRATION
From the neon city of Tokyo to the ancient traditions of Kyoto, our Asia travel specialists will create the itinerary of a lifetime for your tailor-made Japan holidays.
A THRILLING ADVENTURE THROUGH TIME
A land where the future unfolds before you, yet every step echoes with the whispers of a time long past. Alive with towering neon-lit streets, sacred ancient temples, blooming cherry blossoms and delicate culinary delights, it is no surprise that Japan is celebrated as one of Condé Nast’s top travel destinations, with countless travellers eager to experience its wonders, mysteries, and unique spirit.
From the infectious energy of Tokyo, one of the largest and most dynamic cities in the world, to the ornate temples and tranquil tea houses of Kyoto, Japan is a country of contrasts, where surprises await at every turn.
With a tailor-made holiday, you can explore the very best of Japan at your own pace. For those wishing to delve deeper into its ancient past, you can visit the Edo-era merchant houses of Takayama, a city nestled in the shadow of the Japanese Alps, the beautifully preserved samurai and geisha districts of Kanazawa, and the famous ‘floating’ torii gate of Miyajima, the revered ‘shrine island’.
There is truly something for everyone on a luxury holiday to Japan. Food lovers can indulge in the culinary delights of Osaka, Japan’s unofficial ‘food capital’, while those seeking relaxation can unwind in the soothing onsen baths of Hakone, surrounded by volcanic landscapes and spectacular views of the snow-capped Mount Fuji.
Art enthusiasts will be drawn to Naoshima, often called ‘Art Island’ for its world-class modern art galleries and striking outdoor exhibits. For avid walkers, the enchanting Kiso Valley is a must-see, offering access to the fabled ‘Nakasendo Way’ and the ancient pilgrimage trails of Kumano Kodo.
Capturing the heart of all who travel to its shores, Japan is especially magical in the spring and autumn months, where cherry blossoms blanket the country in a delicate palette of pinks, or the autumnal foliage brings the landscapes alive in vibrant hues of red and gold.
