Kyoto is the capital of historical exploration in Japan, with the city’s temple district showcasing a visual timeline of Japanese architectural evolution. In this ancient city you’ll find spiritual temples, traditional teahouses, elegant geishas and meticulously manicured gardens.
If you’re looking for a world-class city escape, you can’t beat Tokyo. Tokyo is the world’s most populous city and also the world’s most vibrant, bustling, and eclectic.

Osaka is a bustling metropolis that buzzes with modern energy.

Luxury Travel Expert"The beauty of Japan is the amazing blend between old and new. You can enjoy the futuristic neon glow of Tokyo whilst also exploring some of the world's most culturally significant sites. "
Contact usA country that is rich in culture, history, and variety, and a trip to Japan promises to ignite the senses and open the eyes to a new world of cultural discovery. Arriving in the country, your first stop has to be Tokyo, where a sprawling metropolis of neon lights and eclectic shops aways. This is the perfect place for exploration and there’s no risk of stumbling upon the same street twice. Whilst in Japan be sure to visit Meiji Jingu, a shrine to the late Emperor Meiji and a popular spot for large-scale traditional wedding ceremonies.
Tokyo strikingly combines the old and the new, straddling history and boasting an electrical atmosphere that will leave you wanting more. Navigating Tokyo is a simple task thanks to the astoundingly efficient system of underground trains which are known around the world for their technical capabilities and pristine condition. After Tokyo, journey to Hakone, the home of Mount Fuji and the Fuji Hakone National Park. The active status of Mount Fuji has given rise to a number of natural hot springs around Hakone and as such the area is a popular spot for spa and wellness activities. Hakone is also a great place to observe Japanese culture at its most authentic.
Whilst a trip to Japan should be jam-packed with exhilarating activities and moments of enlightening wonder, the country is also a great place to indulge in the darker side of modern history. A visit to Hiroshima is a popular way to obtain a first-hand understanding of the catastrophic impacts of the first atomic bomb – the effects of which are still clear over half a century later. Besides the remnants of this violent chapter in history, today Hiroshima is a lively city with a vibrant atmosphere and plenty to see and do. Kyoto is like a breath of fresh air, especially when visited after somber Hiroshima. The town is infused with a green freshness thanks to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and littered with too many temples to count.
LGBTQ+ people in Japan face some challenges that are not experienced by heterosexual and cisgender members of society, however, social attitudes are changing and Japan boasts some of Asia’s most liberal views on sex and gender. Same-sex marriage is not legalized in Japan, however, numerous recent court decisions have ruled that such absence of provision is unconstitutional.

Travelling to Japan from overseas is a common choice for many travellers. With direct flights available from major airlines such as Japan Airlines, ANA, United Airlines, Delta, and American Airlines, getting to Tokyo, Osaka, or Nagoya is easy. At Out Of Office, we specialize in international travel and can assist with all aspects of your trip, from booking flights to arranging luxurious private jet transportation for our most discerning clients. Let us take care of your travel plans so you can focus on enjoying your trip to Japan.
When it comes to travelling around Japan, taking the train is a top choice for both locals and tourists. The Shinkansen, also known as the bullet train, is the fastest and most well-known option, connecting major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. With reserved seating and onboard amenities, it’s a comfortable and convenient way to travel. However, if you’re looking for a more affordable option, local and express trains are also available, though they may take a bit longer to reach your destination.
Exploring Japan is made easy thanks to its extensive public transportation system. Trains, buses, subways, and taxis are readily available in most cities, and the Japan Rail Pass is a popular choice for unlimited travel on most JR trains. However, it’s important to research and plan ahead as some areas may have limited transportation options. For those seeking more flexibility, renting a car is an option, but be aware of the different traffic laws and road signs in Japan.
