Tokyo · Hakone · Kyoto · Naoshima · Okinawa
Welcome to Japan, and to your honeymoon. An English-speaking assistant meets you in arrivals with your documents, rail tickets and passes, helps with anything you need at the airport — a SIM card, any first questions — and walks you to your private transfer.
A private driver brings you into the city to a hotel chosen for two — a high floor, a quiet check-in, and time to exhale after the flight. Your specialist keeps the first evening gentle: a stroll and an intimate counter-seat dinner.
A private guide for the morning — Asakusa's old temple, the calm of Meiji Shrine, a sky-deck view — paced for a couple, with the afternoon left open.
Tonight, the city's marquee dining: an omakase counter or a Michelin kaiseki your specialist has reserved.
Tokyo's contemporary face — teamLab's immersive digital art, the depachika food halls and boutiques of Ginza, or a private sushi-making class with a Tsukiji chef.
An evening to wander the neon, or a quiet rooftop bar with the skyline at your feet.
Travel to Hakone in the foothills of Mt Fuji. The heart of the day is your ryokan: a room with a private open-air onsen, yukata laid out, and a kaiseki dinner served just for you.
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 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 in the window, and Kyoto arrives in a couple of hours. A private transfer brings you to a hotel or machiya for two.
An easy first evening in lantern-lit Gion.
Fushimi Inari's torii before the crowds, the golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji, a Zen garden in the quiet hour, and a private tea ceremony with a master.
Kyoto at this pace is unforgettable.
The Arashiyama bamboo grove in the morning light, a day to wander hand in hand, and — arranged well ahead — a private maiko dinner in the evening.
One of the most memorable nights a honeymoon in Japan can hold.
The Shinkansen runs north to Kanazawa — with a quick platform change at Tsuruga — to the refined castle town that kept its old quarters intact. An easy evening in the lantern-lit Higashi Chaya geisha district.
A quieter, elegant chapter between the icons.
Kenroku-en, among Japan's three great gardens; the preserved samurai and geisha districts; and Kanazawa's famous gold-leaf craft — with a private guide and time to wander.
An indulgent, slow day for two.
South to the Seto Inland Sea and Naoshima — the island reinvented as one of the world's great contemporary-art destinations, the work of Tadao Ando and the Benesse foundation.
Check in island-side and feel the pace drop to sea-level calm.
The Chichu Art Museum, the Benesse House galleries, Kusama's pumpkins on the pier, and the otherworldly Teshima Art Museum — architecture and art woven into the islands.
A day of beauty and stillness for design-loving couples.
A flight south to Okinawa, Japan's subtropical islands — turquoise water, coral reefs, and a beach resort to end the honeymoon. A private transfer brings you to your villa or suite by the sea.
The cultural journey gives way to pure unwinding.
A full day with nothing to do but be together — snorkel or dive the reef, a private boat to a quieter beach, a couples' spa treatment, and dinner with your feet near the sand.
The perfect, easy finale to two weeks of Japan.
A final morning by the water, then a private transfer to the airport for your journey home — fifteen days that ran from Tokyo's energy to a reef at the edge of Japan.
