Japan is a country of refined culture, advanced technology and ancient traditions. It is a vibrant country, yet quiet and cosy at the same time.
Tokyo and Kyoto are the two souls of Japan: Tokyo is ultra-modern, dynamic, a city of the future, while Kyoto is traditional, contemplative, a city of spirit.

Upon arrival in Tokyo, you should experience the city life to the fullest and visit Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza, as well as the Asakusa district and Sensoji Temple to feel the classic old Japan.
For anyone who loves anime, art and fairy tales with a philosophical twist, the Ghibli Museum offers a chance to immerse yourself in the magical world of Hayao Miyazaki’s studio. Here, the rooms are like something out of cartoons: Totoro, Spirited Away.
Sushi breakfast at 8 a.m. is a must. The freshest sushi, seafood, and street food can be found at the Tsukiji Outer Market.
In the evening, head to the artificial island of Odaiba for a wonderful dinner with a view of the bridge.
If you plan your trip for spring, Ueno Park will delight you with its cherry blossoms!

Cherry blossom season in Japan is not just a season, it is a true national event filled with beauty, symbolism and the fleeting nature of the moment.
Meguro River is one of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Tokyo.

Visiting Kyoto during the cherry blossom season immerses you in an atmosphere of antiquity and poetry: Philosopher’s Path is a picturesque walk along a canal surrounded by cherry trees, Maruyama Park has a huge weeping cherry tree illuminated at night, and there are the temples of Kiyomizu-dera and Heian. Ninna-ji — blossoming trees against the backdrop of pagodas. Here, cherry blossoms combine with ancient architecture and a Zen atmosphere.
Kyoto is the heart of old Japan, with more than 1,000 temples, hundreds of red torii gates, gold and silver pavilions (Kinkaku-ji and Ginkaku-ji), geisha in the Gion district, meditative gardens and tea houses, a place to slow down, a city of silence, rituals and tea shadows.

One of Japan’s iconic locations is Hakone, the ‘Japanese Alps' near Tokyo: a trip on a retro train and cable car over a volcanic valley, bathing in an onsen (especially with a view of the mountains), boating on pirate ships on Lake Ashi.

Special attention should be paid to Osaka, the gastronomic capital of Japan and the third largest city in the country, known for its lively atmosphere, rich history and excellent cuisine.

Japan also reveals its spirit in its onsen (温泉) — hot springs that have been used for centuries for relaxation, purification and rejuvenation. This is not just bathing, but a real ritual with physical and spiritual benefits. There are thousands of onsen in Japan, from traditional mountain hot springs to designer spas with views of Mount Fuji. The water in them can be grey, white or green, depending on its composition (sulphur, iron, radon).

A trip to Japan is not just a journey through the country, but an inner journey: to silence, contemplation, discipline and understanding of how to live consciously, simply and deeply.
You don’t just look at Japan — you absorb it.
