                                          Best rated hotels in Japan

                                          Our pick of the most highly rated hotels in Japan

                                          Find out more about Japan

                                          People worldwide flock to Japan for its mix of ancient traditions and cutting-edge cool. One day you’re wandering through serene bamboo forests and beautiful temples in Nara, and the next you’re shopping in the futuristic boutiques in Harajuku, Tokyo and slurping udon in a traditional noodle house.

                                          Speaking of noodles, Japan’s culinary scene is a dream. From melt-in-your-mouth sushi at Tsukiji Market to homemade ramen in tiny, cosy cafes. And let’s not forget about the insane range of goodies found at every 7-Eleven.

                                          Nature lover? Head to Mount Fuji for incredible views, snap pics for the grid during cherry blossom season and enjoy a soak in a piping hot onsen, AKA hot spring. Of course, Japan is also packed with fascinating history, from the soul-moving stories in Hiroshima to the stunning Geishas in Kyoto.

                                          Where to stay in Japan

                                          Choosing which hotels in Japan to stay in and where to stay is half the adventure.

                                          For first-timers, the futuristic city of Tokyo is a no-brainer. It offers everything from high-end luxury Japan hotels in Ginza to quirky capsule options in trendy Shinjuku. Trust us - staying in one of these capsule hotels for at least one night is a must

                                          For a taste of traditional Japan, head to Kyoto. You’ll fall in love with the historic temples, family-run ryokans and ancient streets lined with irresistible shops and gorgeous tea houses. Or why not stay on the island of Okinawa in a beach resort? Snorkel in clear waters by day and stargaze at night. Don’t miss the catch of the day prepared by sushi chefs in homemade huts.

                                          Osaka is a foodie paradise for those craving takoyaki at midnight and a vibrant nightlife. Or for a spot of tranquility, look for Japan accommodation in Hakone. Nestled near Mount Fuji, this dreamy spot offers relaxing hot spring retreats with jaw-dropping views.

                                          Top things to do in Japan

                                          • Explore Tokyo’s eclectic neighbourhoods. Gaze at the neon lights in Shibuya, fall in love with the old-school charm of Asakusa’s Senso-ji Temple and shop ‘til you drop in Harajuku.
                                          • Travel in style. Don’t miss a ride on Japan’s legendary Shinkansen. Zoom across the country on this super fast bullet train and marvel at the respect of the train guards. It’s efficient, sleek and oh-so-Japanese.
                                          • Indulge in Japanese delights. Come for the sushi, stay for the Japanese street food. Make your way to Dotonbori’s vibrant foodie streets in Osaka. Feast on takoyaki (octopus balls) and okonomiyaki (savoury pancakes) to your heart’s content.

                                          Insider tips for Japan

                                          • Skip the tip. Believe it or not, tipping is not part of Japanese culture and it can even be seen as rude! To show gratitude after a meal, simply put on a big smile and say “gochisousama deshita”, which means thank you for the meal.
                                          • Invest in a rail pass. If you’re planning on exploring multiple cities, (trust us, you’ll want to) buy a Japan Rail Pass. It’s a total lifesaver for unlimited Shinkansen rides at a fraction of the cost.
                                          • Take your rubbish home. It might seem strange, but public trash cans are pretty rare in Japan. To help keep this country clean and beautiful, carry a trash bag with you to stash your wrappers and bottles until you find one, or dispose of it in your hotel.
