Despite its growing popularity, the Land of Smiles is still a real insider tip. Tradition doesn't just meet modernity here, it blends with it. Nowhere else can you find such powerful contrasts as here, where things are meditative and quiet, but also futuristic and flashy. The multifaceted nature, which the Japanese revere as a sanctuary, and the special culinary flair are also inspiring. Find your travel favourite now in our route selection until June 2027 and get to know the soul of Japan.
