PRESTIGE & LUXURY HOTELS
You’re bound to have a bit of culture shock in Japan. Eating raw fish. Taking a bath with strangers in a hot spring. Or marvelling at the minimalist beauty of a Japanese garden. Experiences that seem strange to begin with, then utterly natural once you fall in love with the country – from manic cities like Tokyo to tranquil forest trails.

YOU'RE GOING TO JAPAN ?
Capital city : Tokyo
Currency : Yen (in ¥1000, ¥2000, ¥5000 and ¥10000 notes)
Cuisine : Mastering (or struggling to grasp) the art of eating sushi with chopsticks is one of Japan’s culinary joys. You’ll also find a huge variety of rice dishes, noodles and broths to enjoy.
Tipping etiquette : Tipping is not expected
Saying hello : “Konnichiwa” in person; “moshi moshi” over the phone
When to go ? : Japan has four distinct seasons, and temperatures vary across the Japanese archipelago. Hokkaido in the north has large snowfalls in the winter months, which makes it a favourite for skiing. If you’re here in the spring, you’ll be able to see the famous cherry blossom. Peak holiday seasons for the Japanese themselves are April and mid-August, but you can easily travel around the country at any time of year.
