Perhaps the most iconic destination in Asia, Japan has been enthralling visitors for decades, attracted by its perfect balance of modernity and tradition. It’s also a year round destination, with opportunities to scale the three Holy Mountains in the summer, ski in winter, as well as admiring the cherry blossoms and stunning autumnal foliage in spring & fall respectively. Whilst Tokyo & Kyoto have traditionally stolen the limelight, in recent years intrepid travelers have been discovering the natural beauty of islands such as Kyushu & Shikoku, as well as Northern Honshu. It’s also a country synonymous with food, where one can indulge in everything from simple bowls of ramen from a humble eatery, to the World’s most exclusive restaurants, where securing reservations can only be done through referrals.
