Experiences


Wake up at 5am and grab a plate of freshly prepared sushi from Tsukiji market, then shop the streets of Akihabara electric town. Then grab a bullet train to north Japan and stay in a hot spring or retreat to a sacred mountain temple hidden beneath the snow. Taste the finest Wagyu beef in the country, or the most dangerous dish in the world, or escape to the blissful shores of the Mysterious Island of Sado.

The best trips are those with the stories you can tell when you return home, and the memories of the people, scenery and cuisine you immersed yourself in along the way. Here you’ll find ideas to turn your trip of a lifetime, into the experience of a lifetime.
