Ceremony, silence,
and cherry blossoms.
Bespoke Japan holidays: Aman ryokans in Kyoto, Park Hyatt Tokyo, private tea ceremonies, sushi omakase in the hands of masters, and quiet gardens in the mountains.
Japan, the way it should be read.
Japan rewards travellers who slow down. A Krxnch Japan itinerary is unhurried — three or four cities in ten days, with time in each for ceremony, food, gardens and quiet.
Private English-speaking guides in each city. First-class Shinkansen. Hotels at Aman, HOSHINOYA, Park Hyatt, The Peninsula, Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons. And access to experiences that are otherwise closed to travellers — private tea houses in Kyoto, morning fish auctions with the chef, one-of-a-kind sushi seatings.
