Temples at first light, the quiet ritual of a ryokan, and trains that arrive to the second. Japan rewards the traveller who slows down.
At its best this monthJapan is two countries at once: the neon hum of Tokyo and the stillness of a Kyoto garden an hour before it opens. Planned well, you feel both without rushing either. We keep hotel changes few, mornings early and evenings unhurried, so the famous places meet you when they are quiet.
From the cherry blossom tunnels of Kyoto to the fish markets of Tokyo, Japan rewards the curious traveller with beauty at every turn.
Cherry blossom season (late March–April) is magical. Autumn foliage rivals spring.
