Jakada Japan

A journey between worlds, old and new.

Japan is a country of extraordinary contrasts — serene Zen gardens and neon-lit cityscapes, ancient shrines and futuristic technology, refined kaiseki cuisine and bustling ramen bars.

From the temple-studded hills of Kyoto to the electric energy of Tokyo, from soaking in volcanic onsen to watching sumo wrestlers train, Japan offers a depth of experience that few countries can match. Add cherry blossom season and autumn colours, and you have one of the world's most captivating destinations.

Our Japan specialists design journeys that balance the iconic and the intimate — private tea ceremonies, Geisha district walks, ryokan stays and bullet-train adventures across this extraordinary country.
