Best Luxury Hotels In Japan

A land of contrasts, Japan provides an unparalleled tourist experience. Discover the kind of cutting-edge tech that feels lightning years ahead, side by side with a still very prevalent ancient culture and some downright weird attractions. Bathe in natural hot springs or see the cherry blossom in spring. Enjoy a meal at a robot restaurant and go to a vampire, cat or maid cafe. Peruse a parasite museum, have a go at sumo wrestling and ride in a real-life Mario Kart. The cities will astound you, while the rural areas will create the backdrop for a journey of self-discovery among astoundingly beautiful natural landscapes.
