Destinations

Explore places across Japan with the wider journey in mind.

A destination does not belong in a journey simply because it is interesting. It needs to make sense for the traveller, the season, the route and what the journey is trying to achieve.

Regional perspective

Explore Japan

Regions we know with depth include Tokyo, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Hokkaido, Nagano, Shikoku, Setouchi and Hiroshima, Yakushima and Okinawa.

Additional regions may be considered where the purpose, scope, local access and delivery conditions align.

NORTHERN JAPAN

Tohoku — Northern Japan

A region that can give a journey greater progression and space, where cultural landscapes, onsen, regional cities and clearly defined seasons shape a slower movement north.

Regional progression and a change of pace

KANTO

Tokyo & Kanto

Japan’s largest urban gateway can establish the opening rhythm of a journey through contemporary culture, design, food and neighbourhood life.

Opening, closing or urban–regional contrast

KANSAI

Kyoto, Osaka & Beyond

Major cultural centres can anchor a journey while historic towns, sacred landscapes and the wider Kansai region add contrast.

KYUSHU

Kyushu

A southern region where urban culture, food, craft, hot springs and volcanic landscapes can support very different forms of journey.

A focused southern chapter or regional journey

HOKKAIDO

Hokkaido

Scale, seasonality and landscape make Hokkaido a region where route and timing strongly influence the journey.

SHIKOKU

Kochi

Mountains, rivers, the Pacific and a strong sense of local life can bring a different rhythm to a wider Japan journey.
