MODERN MEETS TRADITIONAL

VISIT JAPAN AND DISCOVER A UNIQUE BLEND OF HISTORY AND FUTURISTIC GROWTH.

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN IS ALSO THE LAND OF NUMEROUS CONTRASTS — BULLET TRAINS AND LEISURELY NATURE HIKES, VENDING MACHINES AND MICHELIN STARS, SACRED SHRINES AND THE GLITTERY GLOW FROM SOARING SKYSCRAPERS . Japan is at once seeped in ancient history and utterly futuristic. Here, you can dine with Geishas, sample the world’s finest sake, learn to prepare sushi, visit UNESCO World Heritage sites, and picnic under blooming cherry blossoms — all while enveloped in indulgent luxury.

WINE + DINE

Those with a real taste for cultural immersion understand that to truly explore a country, one must also explore the gastronomic delicacies found within its nooks and crannies. Customized food tours led by Japan’s top chefs are an excellent way to try local bites. Sushi, wagyu beef, and kaiseki cuisine need little introduction, but lesser-known dishes like okonomiyaki (savory pancake) and yakiniku (Japanese-style bbq) are best enjoyed with the help of an expert. Private food tours can be arranged nearly anywhere — from bustling cities to alpine villages. Expect traditional dishes sparked by culinary imagination.

CULTURE + CUSTOM

Japanese culture is one of the most influential in the world, largely because of how fascinating and everchanging it is. Traditional customs peacefully coexist with modern life. Visitors can interact with the country’s Living National Treasures — artists and craftsman who have dedicated their lives to mastering a technique. Don a kimono as you learn from skilled woodworkers who use over 200 different chisels and knives in their carvings, sit on the sidelines and watch the giants of Japanese martial culture practice Sumo wrestling, or enjoy traditional maiko dance performances in a historical teahouse.

CONTEMPORARY + COMFORT

Whether you prefer views of towering skyscrapers or Mt Fuji rising from the mist, Japan offers sumptuous accommodations catering to all definitions of an Instagram-worthy vista. Share a toast on a rooftop bar overlooking the shimmering lights of Tokyo or soak in the mineral-rich waters of a natural hot spring — regardless of your craving, a five-star property is surely nearby. And no matter where you stay, you’ll find Japan’s legendary hospitality, attention to detail, and innate ability to anticipate the needs of guests politely awaiting your arrival.
