An adventure in Japan is a cultural utopia. With its rich history, unique landscapes, fascinating traditions, and mouth-watering cuisine, this island nation will excite and delight you.
A journey to Japan will take you from one of the world's largest cities, Tokyo, to tranquil mountain streams, ancient Geisha districts, and serene bamboo forests.
Japan has a lot to offer: The Sensoji Temple in Tokyo, the oldest and most beautiful Buddhist temple. The Nakamise Dori, a centuries-old shopping strip selling distinctive Japanese souvenirs, the famed Skytree offering panoramic views, and the busy Tsukiji Fish Market—the hub of seafood—are all part of our Essentials itinerary. We'll also take you across the iconic bullet train and witness Mount Fuji and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Wander around temples and sip on tea with Geishas or Maikos (Geishas in training) in Kyoto; stay overnight in a traditional ryokan for an authentic cultural experience or explore Kanazawa—well known for its immaculate geisha district. To experience Hiroshima, which was mostly wiped out by an atomic bomb during WWII, don't miss out on our Explorer itinerary. If you're a wildlife enthusiast, you'll love observing Japanese macaque monkeys soaking in hot springs near Yudanaka on our Adventurer itinerary.
If you want to get the most out of your trip to Japan, we recommend visiting during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). The cherry blossoms in Nara typically bloom between the last week of March and the first two weeks of April, making it the perfect time to see nature at its finest.
The peak summer months fall between June and mid-September, and the rainy season usually comes from early June until mid-July.
From mid-January to March, you can expect fewer tourists and much cooler days, which means more significant savings; this is also when the snow monkeys are particularly photogenic, covered with snow warming in natural hot springs.
