Travel to Japan to experience its culinary delights, vibrant culture, architectural wonders, serene gardens, and unmatched hospitality.
Why travel to Japan
Most first-time visitors to Japan have an abstract idea of this destination, with thoughts of bright neon lights and quiet blossom-filled gardens.
You can read endlessly about Japan, watch countless films and documentaries, or immerse yourself in Japanese art and cuisine in preparation, but once you travel to Japan you will still be amazed by the ‘real thing’. This is a country that cannot just be studied, but must be experienced first-hand – one that more than lives up to the hype.

Our Destination Expert’s Top Tip
Swap the Cherry Blossoms for the Autumn leaves.
It’s crucial in Japan to have a good guide and worth paying extra for.
Omairi – or visiting a Shinto shrine – is still part of everyday life. First you bow, offer some small change, bow deeply twice, ring the bell (tells the gods you’re there), then clap twice, pray, and thank the gods in your mind, bow deeply once more, and leave. Shrine etiquette is a fact of life in Japanese culture.
Japan have canned food restaurants.
