Luxury Japan Holidays 2026/2027

Our experts recommend visiting Japan during spring and autumn, more specifically early March to late May, and early October to early December.

Not only is this when the weather is best, with summer bringing typhoon season and the winter bringing frigid temps, but the landscape is also at its finest. Book a year in advance, and you can spend your spring in Japan chasing the iconic cherry blossoms, or visit for autumn to watch the landscape awash in vibrant hues of orange, red and yellow.

Seasonal experiences are among the top things to see and do in Japan on a luxury holiday, with spring cherry blossoms and autumn leaves drawing visitors from around the world. 

Beyond the seasons, you can’t miss an opportunity to view Mount Fuji from hills of Hakone, explore Kyoto’s historic shrines and temples, or immerse yourself in the energy, cuisine, and culture of mega cities like Tokyo and Osaka.

Japan’s most distinctive experiences offer a deeper glimpse into its culture. Share tea with a Maiko in Kyoto’s Gion district, learn the art of swordsmanship in an authentic dojo, or join a guided food tour to sample regional dishes and sake alongside local experts. Whatever your interests, we’ll help you discover the best experiences to tailor-make your Japan holiday.

For a Japan honeymoon, we recommend a blend of city sightseeing and local cultural immersion.

Start in Tokyo where you can indulge in the country's finest Michelin-star dining, then make your way to one of the many high-end ryokans we work with across the country. Think of a private spa retreat mixed with traditional local customs. Revel in your private onsen, or hot spring bath, and experience a delicious kaiseki dinner getting a true taste of Japanese culture.

Start planning a Japan family holiday by getting in touch with our travel experts. Creating luxury family holidays is our speciality, and we know all the best hotels, restaurants and activities that will give you and your children the best taste of Japan.

If you want to get ahead of the game, consider what kind of travellers you and your family are. Is this trip just with the immediate family, or is it a multigenerational trip with grandparents as well? Are you all early risers ready to pack in the day? Or do you prefer a slower-paced experience, sticking to one planned activity a day and free time for the rest? Answering these questions will tailor an itinerary perfect for you.

There are direct flights from Changi Airport to both Haneda and Narita Airports in Tokyo.

There are also direct flights from Singapore to multiple locations over Japan, including Osaka, Sapporo, and Okinawa.

Japan’s train network is one of the most efficient and user-friendly in the world, making travel around and within cities seamless. Plus travel by shinkansen, or bullet train, offers fast, comfortable journeys across the country and can be booked in advance of your holiday

Timing for cherry blossom season depends on where you’re visiting in Japan. On the main island of Honshu, you can see cherry blossoms between late March and early April, with Tokyo and Kyoto among the best places to see them. If you’re travelling later in spring, you may still catch the blooms in Hokkaido until early May.

We recommend planning for at least 10 to 14 days on a luxury holiday to Japan. This will give you enough time to travel between cities, immerse yourself in the culture, and see the country without feeling rushed.
