Tokyo · Hakone · Kyoto · Kinosaki · Osaka
Welcome to Japan, and to your honeymoon. An English-speaking assistant greets you in arrivals with your documents, rail tickets, and passes, helps with anything you need at the airport — a SIM card, any first-day questions — and walks you to your private transfer. A private driver then brings you into the city to a hotel chosen for two — a high floor, a quiet check-in, time to exhale after the flight.
Your specialist keeps the first evening gentle: a stroll and a counter-seat dinner somewhere intimate.
A private guide for the morning — the old temples of Asakusa, the calm of Meiji Shrine, the views from a sky deck — paced for a couple rather than a checklist, with the afternoon left open for the two of you.
Tonight is the city's marquee dining night: an omakase counter or a Michelin kaiseki your specialist has reserved.
Travel to Hakone in the foothills of Mt Fuji, with Lake Ashi mirroring the mountain on a clear day. The heart of the day is your ryokan: a room with a private open-air onsen, yukata laid out, and a multi-course kaiseki dinner served just for you.
It is the single most romantic night of the trip.
No early start. A long soak, breakfast on the deck, the open-air art museum, and the ropeway over the volcanic valley if you feel like moving — or simply the onsen and each other.
A second ryokan night to let the honeymoon truly begin.
The bullet train glides west, Mt Fuji slipping past the window, and Kyoto arrives in a couple of hours. A private transfer brings you to a hotel or a machiya townhouse for two.
An evening in Gion, the old geisha district of lantern light and wooden lanes.
The vermilion torii of Fushimi Inari before the crowds, the golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji, and a Zen garden in the quiet hour — then a private tea ceremony with a master, the two of you and the ritual.
Kyoto at this pace is unforgettable.
Still based in Kyoto, you set out for Arashiyama on the city's western edge — the bamboo grove in the morning light and the riverside temples, then a day to wander hand in hand back in the old lanes. In the evening, arranged well ahead, a private maiko dinner in Gion — conversation, a dance, and the rituals of a world few travelers ever see.
One of the most memorable nights a honeymoon in Japan can hold.
North to Kinosaki Onsen, a willow-lined hot-spring town where couples stroll the canal in yukata and wooden geta between the bathhouses. Check into a ryokan with its own private bath and a kaiseki dinner built around the season's catch.
The most quietly romantic corner of the trip.
An easy morning by the canal, then on to Osaka for a final night — a spa afternoon if you like, and Dōtonbori's neon and street food for a lively farewell, or a quiet last dinner. Your specialist shapes it to your mood.
A day to let ten days of Japan settle.
After breakfast, a private transfer brings you to Kansai International Airport — most couples leave already planning a return for the seasons and regions they didn't have time for.
Your Juniper specialist remains reachable throughout departure day.
