Japan is a land of contrasts, where the ancient and intricate live side-by-side with the cutting edge of today’s technology. From ultra-modern cities boasting bustling, neon-lit streets to serene temples set amidst tree-lined parkland, Japan quietly boasts an allure and a draw for every kind of traveller.

Most Japan holidays begin in the iconic capital city, Tokyo, before travelling deeper into the country. Here visitors can stroll city streets thronged with people, be enthralled by a Geisha performance in historic Kyoto, spend a night on a futon in a local ryokan before ending the day with a dip in a traditional onsen or bathhouse and board futuristic Shinkansen bullet trains to explore far-flung corners of the country – all in just one holiday.

We are thrilled to help you plan your custom-tailored journey to Japan, we cover key tourist attractions as well as beyond the well-trodden paths to showcase the captivating rural and cultural facets of Japan that are often overlooked. Our focus is on crafting tailor-made holidays that cater to individual travellers seeking a more personal and immersive adventure in Japan.

There's so much to Japan that although the cherry blossom season is a firm favourite with travellers, trips outside of the spring flowering time remain incredibly rewarding and a fantastic experience. Tokyo is incredible, but I suggest only spending a few days here as you arrive or at the end of your trip, and making a beeline over to the other bustling cities and out into the beautiful countryside to get a deeper understanding of authentic Japan.

Stef's Tips
1
To explore far flung corners of the country, there's no better way to travel than aboard a futuristic Shinkansen bullet train.
2
One of the best places to experience an enthralling Geisha performance is Kyoto.
3
If you're not bothered about the cherry blossoms, travellers find visiting the country much cheaper outside of springtime.
