JAPAN

The otherworldly charm of Japan is what makes it such a fulfilling and fascinating destination. After all, this is a country where 122 million live in some of the world’s most cutting-edge cities, yet where centuries-old Shinto and Buddhist traditions are respected in peaceful pagodas, temples and gardens.

Its world-class train system means it’s easy to see much of Japan on a short trip. In just a few days, you can explore Tokyo’s futuristic architecture, eat at Osaka’s hidden ramen stalls and marvel at Kyoto’s imperial beauty. Add more time, though, and you’ll have a chance to delve deeper into the country’s quieter side, whether in a hot spring bath in Hakone with Mount Fuji glittering in the distance, or walking beneath the cherry blossoms high in the Japanese Alps. With a culture of deep respect and a storied history that is remembered with pride, Japan never fails to delight.
