Japan is the world’s most perfectly curated destination. A country that somehow exists in multiple centuries simultaneously — where centuries-old temple rituals and ryokan hospitality coexist with bullet trains and Michelin-starred tasting menus. Kyoto’s geisha districts and bamboo groves represent one of the most refined cultural experiences available to the traveller. Tokyo is a sensory universe. And the Japanese Alps, particularly in cherry blossom season or beneath a winter snow canvas, are otherworldly.
