(Bespoke holidays in Japan, designed to reflect your passions and travel style.)
Japan doesn’t unfold all at once—it reveals itself in moments. A quiet shrine tucked between city streets, the rhythm of a passing train, and the glow of lanterns as evening falls. It’s a place where simplicity feels profound and every detail has meaning. Our Japan holiday packages are designed to bring this contrast to life, with completely tailor-made itineraries for travellers departing from UK airports. From flights and accommodation to immersive cultural experiences, every detail is customised to suit your preferences. Whether you’re seeking vibrant city adventures or serene cultural escapes, we ensure a seamless and personalised journey, allowing you to experience Japan exactly the way you’ve always imagined.
Explore Japan’s Cultural & Natural Treasures
Home to iconic landmarks and rich culture, Japan offers experiences from Kyoto’s serene temples and gardens to Tokyo’s bustling streets and skyline. Marvel at Mount Fuji, explore the historic city of Nagasaki, and enjoy seasonal wonders like cherry blossoms — every itinerary is tailored to your interests and pace for an unforgettable journey.
Experience the magic of Japanese cuisine
Japan’s culinary scene is a thrilling journey. In Tokyo’s bustling markets, sushi and sashimi speak the language of precision. Ramen warms the soul; tempura defies expectation with its gossamer crunch, and street-side takoyaki and yakitori remind you that the best meals are eaten standing up. For something more contemplative, kaiseki unfolds like a season on a plate – unhurried, intentional, and breathtaking. Between the theatre of teppanyaki and the stillness of a tea ceremony, Japan reveals a truth that no guidebook captures: its deepest culture doesn't hang in galleries or temples. It rises, quietly and irresistibly, in the steam from a bowl.
Top Experiences to try in Japan
Explore the temples and shrines of Kyoto
Kyoto is home to over 1,600 Buddhist temples and 400 Shinto shrines. Wander Gion's preserved machiya townhouses, cross the vermilion torii gates at Fushimi Inari, and lose yourself in the bamboo groves of Arashiyama. Every neighbourhood reveals a different chapter of Japan's imperial past.
This experience is part of our Japan's Golden Triangle – 9 nights, where Kyoto is one of three unmissable cities.
Get lost in Tokyo's incredible neighbourhoods
Beyond the skyscrapers, Tokyo hides a maze of atmospheric alleys. Browse Akihabara's electric town, find serene shrines tucked between tower blocks in Asakusa, and wander the lantern-lit backstreets of Shinjuku after dark. Tokyo rewards wandering — the best discoveries are never on any map.
Our Japan's Golden Triangle – 9 nights, Japan & South Korea Discovery – 7 nights, and Best of Japan Cruise with Tokyo Stay – 14 nights include time to explore the vibrant city of Tokyo.
Step inside Osaka Castle and its surrounding grounds
Osaka Castle is one of Japan's most iconic landmarks — a towering five-storey keep built in 1583 and surrounded by stone walls, moats, and sweeping parkland. Inside, eight floors of exhibits trace the castle's role in unifying Japan. The park is one of the best places in the city to pause and take in Japanese history.
Our Japan's Golden Triangle – 9 nights takes you to Osaka, where experiences like these are yours to discover. Three cities,
nine nights, and a lifetime of memories — this is Japan the way it was meant to be seen.
Discover Japan by sea
Sail Japan's coastline and discover port cities that most visitors never reach. A cruise lets you wake up in a different city each morning — from the buzzing streets of Tokyo to the historic harbour towns of southern Japan — all without packing and unpacking. Combine with a Tokyo city stay for the full experience.
Our Best of Japan Cruise with a Tokyo Stay—14 nights includes a full Japanese coastal cruise combined with a Tokyo city stay.
