    Japan means ‘sun-origin’, which is why it isreferred to as the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. A journey here will never fail to fascinate, and travelers can look forward to a trip of endless discovery.


    Japan is a destination offering year-around experiences from hiking on Mount Fuji to Cherry Blossom tours that reveal thecountry’s flamboyant spring awakening. It has everything to keep both seasoned travelers and first-time visitors in absolute awe. It is a land where any journey is guaranteed to fascinate on multiple levels, from salivating gastronomic experiences to heritage trails through towering castles andenlightening experiences in spiritual gardens. At Destination Asia we are pushing creativity in product design to new limits – where others go forward to the next known city, we think sideways to reveal lesser-known regions and a selection of new and exclusive product.

    As a pioneering link between the Western Worldand Asia, Japan serves as a gateway to international trade and tourism, with direct flights to every major global destination. The ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ is a destination like no other; offering heritage and history one day and hi-tech modern city living the next.


    Inspiration awaits you at every turn, where centuries-old traditions from the past blend with cutting-edge innovation. Join us as we explore the contrasts of Japan.
