The hustle and bustle

A land of extraordinary beauty, steeped in history and awash with vibrant culture, Japan is a fascinating cluster of islands that will leave you enchanted under its spell.

There really are endless possibilities on a trip to Japan where you will experience a place like no other and you will be hard-pressed to find somewhere with as rich a history.

Spiritual Enlightenment

Delve deeper and you will find the likes of the Daibutsu of Nara, a 15m-tall bronze Buddha stature that was built at the dawn of the Japanese empire in the 8th century, seek spiritual enlightenment on the Kumana Kodo, a network of trails linking three important Shinto shrines. If this isn’t enough for you, gaze at the awe inspiring and world-famous Mt Fuji, Japan’s perfectly symmetrical cone and highest peak.

Plethora Of Fauna And Flora

Walk on the wild side when you visit Japan’s most northerly island, Hokkaido, an untamed volcanic landscape filmed with turquoise blue water lakes and sulphur-rich hot springs. The plethora of flora and fauna make it the perfect place to explore at a slightly slower pace compared to the rest of Japan. For those who are keen to reflect on the past, a trip to Hiroshima is a heart-breaking reminder on the cruelty of war but heart-warming when you see how strong a community was built in the wake of the disaster.
