Destinations

Tokyo

Shibuya · Shinjuku · Ginza · Roppongi · Naka-Meguro · Harajuku · Kamakura

The global city that contains multitudes. Ancient and modern, quiet and electric, all at once. Quiet backstreets sit minutes from the busiest crossings in the world. Best visited year round.

Kyoto

A traditional Japanese street in Kyoto with wooden buildings and a five-story pagoda in the background during sunset. Two women wearing kimonos walk together.

Gion · Arashiyama · Fushimi · Kinkaku-ji · Nara

Where Japan's history lives closest to the surface. Temples, machiya streets, and craft traditions passed down for centuries. Best in spring and autumn, particularly March, April, and November.

A Japanese cook wearing a white towel wrapped around their head is grilling multiple skewers of meat on a barbecue grill in a robata restaurant setting.

Osaka

Dotonbori · Shinsekai · Osaka Castle · Namba

Japan's culinary capital and most exuberant city, the natural counterpoint to Kyoto's restraint. Street food, neon canals, and a directness of spirit unlike anywhere else in the country. Best year round.

Hakone

A modern traditional inn Ryokan in Hakone, with an onsen with a view on a mountain landscape with foggy clouds in the background.

Mount Fuji Five Lakes · Hot springs · Ryokans · Gora

Mount Fuji's quietest stage, framed by mountain ryokans and volcanic hot springs just two hours from Tokyo. The pause between the city and everything that follows. Best in spring and autumn, with clear winter mornings rewarding an early start.

Hiroshima

Traditional Japanese torii gate situated over water, in Miyajima, with mountains in the background and a group of people, along with deer, on the sandy shore of Seto Inland Sea (Hiroshima) in the foreground.

Hiroshima · Seto Inland Sea · Miyajima · Naoshima · Onomichi

A city rebuilt on memory and resilience. The Seto Inland Sea and Miyajima lie at its edge, humbling and beautiful within the same day. Best in spring and autumn.

Kanazawa

Tall, traditional Japanese buildings with thatched and tiled roofs, surrounded by lush green trees with autumn colors, and filled with many people walking along a main street in a scenic village.

Higashi Chaya · Nagamachi · Takayama · Shirakawa-go

Craft traditions, samurai districts, and a pace of life that rewards the patient traveller. Four centuries of Edo culture remain almost entirely intact. Best in spring and autumn.

Hokkaido

Snow-covered slope in Hokkaido, Niseko, with footprints and ski tracks, group of skiers and snowboarders at the bottom, mountain in the distance, clear blue sky with the sun shining.

Niseko · Hakodate · Otaru · Sapporo

Japan's northern frontier. Snow, wilderness, and some of the country's finest produce. A landscape built for slowing down rather than sightseeing. Best in winter and summer.

Tohoku

Wooden balcony with snow, overlooking snow-covered mountainous landscape under cloudy sky.

Yamagata · Aomori · Sendai · Matsushima

Ancient forests, onsen towns, and landscapes that feel untouched. Mountains, hot springs, and some of the country's most dramatic seasonal color. Best in autumn and winter.
