Japan Holidays
asia
Japan's main tourist cities are a study in contrasts where dazzling neon streets and the latest technological innovation sit side by side with imposing castles, elaborate temples and traditional gardens. Away from Japan's cities, a stunning landscape of mountains, lakes and valleys awaits, from the dramatic volcanic peaks of Hokkaido in the north to the sugar white beaches and aquamarine seas of the Okinawa archipelago in the far south.
Treasured Japanese traditions like the graceful geisha, sumo rituals and the art of the tea ceremony still hold their place in Japanese life. A stay at a ryokan, a traditional inn, is a must, providing a great opportunity to meet the locals and connect with Japan's unique heritage. With so much to offer, isn't it time to begin your journey of discovery?
Trailfinders offers a range of Japan holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Japan on a self guided holiday, a sociable small group tour, a stopover or a cruise holiday, they are the perfect people to ask.

WHAT TO DO IN JAPAN
One day you might be watching sumo wrestlers training in bustling Tokyo, the next kayaking past the floating torii gate of Itukushimato and across to sacred Miyajima Island. Experiences can be as refined as enjoying dinner with a geisha in Kyoto or as moving as exploring the haunting history at Hiroshima Peace Museum.
Our collection of unmissable experiences will really help bring your Japan holiday to life.

Japan Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Richard Standen
Living like a local is a great experience in any destination but staying in a Ryokan truly is something to remember. In certain areas, namely Hakone, you can upgrade the room to have your own private onsen which usually isn't too much extra!
Natalie Hart
The famous Fushimi Inari-taisha is so beautiful and vital to any Kyoto stay. Try climbing at dusk, it's much quieter, temperatures are cooler and the views as the city lights up are amazing!
Carrie Hawes
Forget your inhibitions and experience a communal onsen (hot spring baths). Strictly no swimming costumes allowed, but it's a great way of chatting to the locals and your skin will feel amazing afterwards! Remember if you've got a tattoo you'll need to cover it up or risk not being admitted.
