Japan is a country that is full of surprises. From natural wonders such as Mount Fuji to the bright lights of Tokyo and Osaka and the ancient temples of Kyoto, there are incredible places to visit at every turn. But Japan is not a country where you need to travel with a backpack and hostel guide to get the most out of it – luxury trips make perfect sense, taking in the exquisite food, excellent hotels and traditional homestays along the way.
