Discover ancient traditions, meticulous etiquette and a timeless culture woven into the fabric of everyday life.
The archipelago of islands, known as the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ is a place where ancient and modern collide. Where a tranquil Shinto shrine sits sandwiched between cloud-piercing urban skyscrapers. And where ladies draped in decorative silk kimonos wait to board bullet trains. The contradictions are illuminating, exciting and inviting.
Feel the vibrant urban pulse of Tokyo where neon-lit skyscrapers are juxtaposed against Edo-period palaces and shrines. Turn back time in Kyoto where the mysterious Geisha culture blends into a backdrop of Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines and World Heritage Sites. In Osaka, sample lip-smacking street food and in Hiroshima, pay your respects at the Memorial Peace Park and Museum. Discover onsen resorts around Hakone and marvel at the snow-clad peak of iconic Mt Fuji. And revel in the art and architecture of Kanazawa and Naoshima Island. Right across the country, enjoy authentic local insight and exclusive access to people and places. Travel in Japan in the comfort of your own private jet.
