Best Local Experiences in Japan
From witnessing the raw power of sumo wrestlers to a private Taiko drumming experience, there's a wealth of Japanese culture to explore. We've hand-picked the best and most unique experiences to inspire your next tailor-made holiday in Japan.
Japanese Culture & Local Experiences
Central Tokyo is the beating heart of Japanese culture, and there's plenty to discover here beyond the luxury hotels. By day, you can get a sense of the sheer enormity of Japan's bustling capital with a helicopter cruise. By night, the neon city sparkles with glittering lights, creating the perfect backdrop for a guided night-time photography workshop.
We also have a selection of foodie experiences, because there's no better way to experience Japanese culture than through its delectable cuisine. Dine on a multi-course Kaiseki meal hosted by a Geisha in Kyoto or learn the art of making sushi before indulging on everything from expertly rolled maki and delicate sashimi — it's the freshest way to discover Japan.
