Whether cloaked in cherry blossoms and drapes of wisteria, or enveloped in rich autumnal shades, this country exudes its spectacular charm throughout every season.
From electric futuristic metropolises, incandescent and thrilling, to ancient shrines and gardens, hushed and serene, it’s the extremes and the in-betweens that will enthral and amaze. From Tokyo to the shadow of Mount Fuji, a cruise across Hakone's Lake Ashinoko is followed by a cable car ascent to the sulphuric pools of Owakudani, aptly named the 'Boiling Valley.' The High-speed bullet train rides offer an additional authentic Japanese experience, and a stay in Hiroshima encompasses the wooded Miyajima Island and a ‘floating’ 12th-century shrine.
