Japan holidays with Abercrombie & Kent allow you to truly savour the unique culture and dramatic landscape that defines this country.

Like stepping into another world, Japan holidays offer the visitor diverse options and fresh discoveries, from scenic landscapes viewed from an outdoor hot spring to the bustling city of Tokyo lit with thousands of neon lights.

Japan consists of over 6,800 islands offering varying climates. The main island of Honshu boasts the country's two main gateways, Tokyo famed for its vibrancy and modern feel and Osaka dubbed the "Kitchen of the Nation" for its rich food culture - and great food is always a prominent feature of a Japan luxury holiday.

Kyoto is very much the Japan of the imagination, a city of grand palaces, ornate shrines wonderful gardens and where Geisha still shuffle along the streets. Holidays to Japan would not be complete without a visit to the iconic Mount Fuji.

Japan holidays can be as equally thought provoking as they can be relaxing.  A visit to Hiroshima will provide a sobering reminder of the destructive forces that were unleashed on the city in 1945.  While the archipelago of Okinawa has a unique paradise to set it apart from mainland Japan.

Pricing
At A&K all of our journeys are individually tailored to suit your needs and timescale. However, as a guide, our 14 day Japan holidays will cost from £4,995 per person based on two adults sharing with flights from the UK and subject to availability.
