Luxury Gay Vacations in Japan

While Japan unfortunately doesn’t recognize same-sex marriage, the country offers a tolerant and safe destination for LGBTQ+ visitors on a luxury gay vacation.

Gay neighborhoods like Ni-chōme in Tokyo have vibrant nightlife, as well as an annual Pride festival. Kyoto and other cities also have growing gay communities and establishments. Osaka in particular has a large gay scene, with many drag clubs and fun bars to explore.

Bathhouses and onsen still occasionally enforce gender restrictions, with many being segregated by gender, which can make it difficult for gender non-conforming travelers. However, you will still find welcoming mixed-gender onsens around the country – although they’re banned in Tokyo.

With its service-oriented values and an etiquette focused on privacy, Japan provides respite from judgement and welcoming hospitality. LGBT visitors can comfortably experience Japan’s captivating heritage and scenery while indulging in luxury on a gay vacation to Japan.
