Ancient. Timeless. Unforgettable.
​​
Follow Japan through the lens of the seasons, from sakura drifting over Kyoto’s canals to crisp autumn gardens and snow-softened temple rooftops. Pair Tokyo’s neon-and-nuance with Kyoto’s quiet centuries, then slow down in ryokan sanctuaries, private onsens, and exquisitely seasonal kaiseki dining. Prefer to unpack once? Japan by sea turns the journey into a floating five-star rhythm of new harbours, smaller ports, and effortless elegance.
