Our Take
A journey through Japan is like no other. Here you can immerse yourself in centuries-old traditions, explore vibrant cities like Tokyo and Osaka, wander through the temples of Kyoto, and even pair your cultural adventures with time on the beaches of Okinawa, and that’s just the beginning.
When planning a trip to Japan, you might consider the classic Golden Route, linking Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima. Alternatively, head north to Hokkaido for dramatic landscapes and winter adventures, or south to Kyushu and Shikoku for hidden hot springs, volcanoes, and a slower pace off the tourist trail.
