A beguiling mix of contrasts with unique customs and cuisine
– steeped in tradition yet ahead of its time
You’re bound to have a bit of culture shock in Japan. Eating
raw fish. Taking a bath with strangers in a hot spring. Or marvelling at the
minimalist beauty of a Japanese garden. Experiences that seem strange to begin
with, then utterly natural once you fall in love with the country – from manic
cities like Tokyo to tranquil forest trails.
Japan has four distinct seasons, and temperatures vary across the Japanese archipelago. Hokkaido in the north has large snowfalls in the winter months, which makes it a favourite for skiing. If you’re here in the spring, you’ll be able to see the famous cherry blossom. Peak holiday seasons for the Japanese themselves are April and mid-August, but you can easily travel around the country at any time of year.
