You're flying straight into the colours of the Japanese flag, and it's proper gorgeous – the perfect start to your trip in the land of cherry blossoms, sushi and Shinkansen vibes.

Japan Bucket List: Konbinis, karaoke and kawaii culture!

  • Osaka
  • Miyajima
  • Himeji Castle
  • Ready to dive into a land of contrasts, where cosplay cafés meet ancient, red temple gates and the neon lights of Electric Town meet the rustling Bamboo Forest? Hop on one of the country's legendary bullet trains, the Shinkansen, and explore Japan! Discover the endless skylines of the mega-metropolis Tokyo and immerse yourself in its dazzling world of colourful pop culture and pulsing entertainment. Wander through Kyoto's traditional alleys and explore mystical temples, then follow the trails of the samurai and visit Japan's largest castle. Before you know it, you'll be on the shrine island of Miyajima, marvelling at the bright red torii that rises from the gentle waves of the sea against the mountain backdrop of Hiroshima. Then it's time for the grand finale: Osaka! Whether it's mouth-watering street food or film-worthy castles, Osaka's got you covered. And to top it all off, spend your last night in the futuristic comfort of a capsule hotel. Hop on a plane and experience an unforgettable adventure in Japan!

    Time to wake up – the Land of the Rising Sun awaits! Tokyo's endless concrete jungle spreads like a sparkling sea in every direction. When you arrive at the airport, everything around you is foreign, new and exciting. You quickly exchange your voucher for your Japan Rail Pass, then board the train and head off on your own to your accommodation.

    Your first impression? Overwhelming and difficult to put into words. You're surrounded by rows of towering buildings that light up in a sea of glowing neon signs and polished skyscrapers stacked alongside wooden houses and hidden temples. Swarms of black-suited businessmen rush through the streets past people whose wild outfits starkly contrast their own. Jingles resonate from the entrances of convenience stores as an advertising truck decked with the faces of a J-pop group drives by blasting colourful beats into the street. Tokyo is a metropolis in overdrive – and you want to explore every corner of it!

    Tokyo is massive and full of highlights! Your first adventure: Shibuya, home to the world's largest pedestrian crossing. Here, you cross the street with up to 3,000 other people and quickly learn that there's no chance of standing still. Surrounded by neon signs and skyscrapers, you're bang in the middle of modern Japan! Then it's on to Harajuku for flashy outfits, pop culture and everything colourful. After that, it's time to chill. In the green Yoyogi Park and at Meiji Shrine, you fully immerse yourself in traditional Japan. But you don't stay for too long, as the next contrast awaits you in Shinjuku. Neon lights, izakayas, wooden bars – here, it's all about yakitori, sake and good vibes. Kanpai!

    Ohayou! Good morning! Today, you're strolling right into the heart of the Japanese entertainment industry: Akihabara Electric Town. Thought Shinjuku was colourful? Just wait till you see the neon jungle of Akihabara, where the high-rises shine in the colours of thousands of illuminated advertisements. From cosplay cafes, manga shops and video game arcades to electronics retailers, here, lovers of Japanese pop culture can find everything that makes their otaku hearts beat faster. After so much excitement, it's time for some refreshment. And Japan is famous for its culinary diversity. Whether it's tempura, udon, yakitori, ramen or sushi, you just can't go wrong! So find the nearest restaurant and be greeted with an excited 'Irasshaimase!' (Welcome!) as soon as you enter – a taste of Japan's wholehearted hospitality, a concept called 'omotenashi', for which the country is known the world over. Prefer a little snack instead? No problem! Just step into one of Tokyo's over 7,000 'konbini' (corner shops), and you'll be surrounded by takeaway sushi, sandwiches, Japanese sweets and a flood of refreshing drinks. Itadakimasu! Enjoy your meal!
