Luxury holidays in Japan

Destinations in Japan

• 

  Hiroshima

  • 1 hotel
• 

  Ise-Shima National Park

  • 1 hotel
  Overlooking the tranquil waters of Ago Bay (known as the Bay of Pearls), Ise-Shima National Park on Japan’s south-west coast is famed for its natural beauty, ancient onsens (hot springs) and sacred sites.
• 

  Ishikawa

  • 1 hotel
  Regional rose Kenroku-en Garden in Kanazawa is designed to look beautiful in every season — an MO that can also be attributed to its wider prefecture, Ishikawa.
• 

  Kobe

  • 1 hotel
  In Japan’s bustling Osaka Bay, Kobe balances the deep-rooted history of Arima Onsen’s hot springs and Ikuta Shrine’s sacred grove with the cosmopolitan charm of Harborland’s modern waterfront trappings.
• 

  Kyoto

  • 7 hotels
  Kyoto’s mood depends on the season you arrive in: its first blush is in spring when sakura (cherry blossoms) carpet its hills; summer is vividly green; and in autumn scarlet and amber maple leaves set the landscape aflame.
• 

  Maebashi

  • 1 hotel
  Between Nagano and Tokyo in central Honshu, Maebashi is a city in Gunma Prefecture with equal urban and natural appeal.
• 

  Nagano

  • 2 hotels
  Japan’s peak-framed prefecture Nagano is known for its winter sports scene, but with historic resort towns set amid soaring mountains, cedar-scented forests and steaming hot springs, this is an all-seasons stunner.
• 

  Niseko

  • 1 hotel
  Powder-seekers sweep into resort town Niseko like the waves of fresh flakes carpeting its slopes (around 49 feet of snow a year). But, Hokkaido’s coolest hangout, set by dormant volcano Mount Yotei, keeps Japanese custom and celebrates tradition.
• 

  Osaka

  • 1 hotel
  Once an imperial seat, the coastal city of Osaka endures as Japan’s mercantile hub, where neon-lit Dōtonbori’s pachinko parlours rub shoulders with Michelin-starred kitchens and humble takoyaki stands.
• 

  Shiga

  • 1 hotel
• 

  Tokyo

  • 3 hotels
  A walk down any Tokyo street could lead you to a hushed shrine, a thumping nightclub or a store stocking the latest technological advances – it's almost like Tokyo is two separate cities.
• 

  Toyama

  • 1 hotel
