Japan

Holidays in Japan are tailor-made for enriching, connected travel. Whether you’re immersed in cities that never seem to sleep, pottering through rural villages that let you slow the pace, walking ancient trails or relaxing in hot spring resorts, you’ll experience unrivalled levels of customer service, comfort and cleanliness.

Much of Japan is connected by one of the world’s most effective railway systems – in Tokyo, you’ll find the starting station for the first ever bullet train, or shinkansen, and the primary hub for an excellent rail network that can whisk you across the country’s four main islands in a matter of hours.

Japan has a reputation for racing towards the future, but this country of contrasts is also securely rooted by unbroken traditions that stretch back thousands of years. Much of the country’s cultural heritage stems from nature, with colourful festivals that celebrate the seasons, and leisure that centres on bathing in volcanic hot springs and feeding the body and soul with excellent local food.

This mix of electric modernity, deep tradition and seamless efficiency is enticing, and draws visitors back again and again to enjoy further holidays in Japan that show the country in a different light. The hot springs of Kinosaki Onsen may feel a world away from Tokyo in terms of landscape and ambience, but are just an hour by train. See ancient aesthetics in Kyoto, the poignant memorials of Hiroshima, the pilgrim trails of Shikoku and the wild nature of Hokkaido.
