Japan isn’t just a destination – it’s a whole new way of life. From futuristic toilets that talk to you, to centuries-old traditions still practised today, it’s a country full of contrast and curiosity. You can sip matcha in a Kyoto teahouse, watch cherry blossoms fall like confetti in spring, or ride a bullet train at over 300km/h. Did you know Tokyo has more Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere else in the world? Or that you can stay in a capsule hotel that’s only two metres long and one metre wide? Whether it’s the food, the history, or the neon buzz that’s calling you, a trip to Japan is never boring.
