"Tokyo isn't one city so much as a constellation of neighbourhoods, each with its own personality.

Travel in Japan rewards thoughtful movement through contrasting landscapes and cultures. Cities and regions offer distinct personalities, from Tokyo's neighbourhoods, panoramic views and world-class dining to Kyoto's temples and serene ryokan experiences. Beyond headline destinations lie hot-spring towns at dusk, alpine trails along snow-fed rivers, and coastal fishing villages transformed into open-air museums. Practical choices shape the journey: pick neighbourhoods for different urban moods, sample markets like Toyosu and Tsukiji, and balance high-end dining with street food. Immersive experiences include digital art installations, sumo events, onsen bathing, and staying in traditional inns that foreground local scents and riverside stillness.
