Explore Hotels in Japan

Japan is famous for many things: the awe-inspiring Mount Fuji, the annual cherry blossom parties, the ritual drinking of sake. Japanese food traditions have become popularised around the globe, but here you can sample the original and authentic sushi, onigiri, and bento. When you don’t want to climb into a capsule for the night, choose from our carefully screened luxury hotels in Japan. In northern Japan, Seto is the setting for an uber-modern hotel from which you can explore the sea-life and hot springs.

An island south of Japan, Okinawa has a more laid-back vibe, where you can relax in a hotel facing the ocean, and sample some of the very finest cuisine (we think) in the country. Our boutique hotels in Japan collection is curated to showcase the country’s profound ritual, tradition, and seasonality. Beyond the urban pulse of Tokyo, we have identified stays that reflect a distinct minimalist design culture and peerless craftsmanship.

By focusing on personally reviewed properties, we ensure our members discover independent hotels that represent the intersection of historic legacy and futuristic vision. Holiday Reading: Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.
