Luxury Japan Holidays 2024/2025

Our experts recommend visiting Japan during spring and autumn, more specifically early March to late May, and early October to early December.

Not only is this when the weather is best, with summer bringing typhoon season and the winter bringing frigid temps, but the landscape is also at its finest. Book a year in advance, and you can spend your spring in Japan chasing the iconic cherry blossoms, or visit for autumn to watch the landscape awash in vibrant hues of orange, red and yellow.

The best things to see and do in Japan when going on a luxury holiday is to see the cherry blossoms and autumn leaves.

These iconic sites have made Japan one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world for a reason, however, when it comes to building your luxury tour around those experiences is where our experts shine.

Make the trip your own with a sushi-making class at a Michelin-star restaurant, a private art tour of Kyoto or even a Bonsai masterclass. Whether you’re a foodie, artist or green thumb, we’ll find the thing best things to do for you.

For a Japan honeymoon, we recommend a blend of city sightseeing and local cultural immersion.

Start in Tokyo where you can indulge in the country's finest Michelin-star dining, then make your way to one of the many high-end ryokans we work with across the country. Think of a private spa retreat mixed with traditional local customs. Revel in your private onsen, or hot spring bath, and experience a delicious kaiseki dinner getting a true taste of Japanese culture.

Start planning a Japan family holiday by getting in touch with our travel experts. Creating luxury family holidays is our speciality, and we know all the best hotels, restaurants and activities that will give you and your children the best taste of Japan.

If you want to get ahead of the game, consider what kind of travellers you and your family are. Is this trip just with the immediate family, or is it a multigenerational trip with grandparents as well? Are you all early risers ready to pack in the day? Or do you prefer a slower-paced experience, sticking to one planned activity a day and free time for the rest? Answering these questions will tailor an itinerary perfect for you.

You can fly to Japan from all major UK airports, with direct flights from London Heathrow and Tokyo Haneda.

You can also fly to Tokyo Narita Airport or Osaka Kansai, but you’ll need to connect in Europe or the Middle East depending on who you’re flying with.

By far the best way to get around Japan is using their incredible bullet train system. Not only is it the fastest way, but it’s also incredibly comfortable and gives you the chance to see some of Japan’s stunning scenery.

Do note that you need to buy tickets for the bullet train ahead of your trip, but we’ll cover all of that for you when you book with Scott Dunn.

Our luxury Japan holidays start at around £6,000 per person, however, the final price will depend on your finished itinerary. We keep clear communications between our guests and the cost of their activities, accommodations and anything else we may book for their trip, so you’ll have an exact idea of how much your holiday costs throughout the entire process.
