Fortunately, some people can afford enough money and turn the dreams they always had into reality. On their bucket list, Japan will certainly be one of the destinations they want to explore. This country is a mixture of tradition and modern culture, which is why it seems so attractive to many. Apart from that, we also have to say that Japan has some really cool and luxurious destinations that would be a shame not to visit.
On this page, we will give you tips on how to organize your luxurious trip in Japan. Also, we will discuss some of the most popular luxurious destinations to visit while spending time in the country. We are sure that our recommendations can turn your trip into a memorable experience. Let’s go!
We will start this guide with the most luxurious hotels you can stay at in Japan. They are:
Let’s discuss each of these places in more detail.
This hotel is one of the luxurious places that may fit the budget of a larger group of people (it is less expensive than the other two on this list). You can get really a lot of opportunities to make your trip more comfortable. For example, some of the rooms have scenic city views. Each of the rooms is properly equipped, which ensures complete comfort. Also, if you plan a business trip, there are excellent meeting rooms and a conference center that can help you organize your team better.
Ultimately, we have to highlight that this hotel has a casino, which is a perfect option for people wanting to test their luck while in Japan. Yet, enjoying such an activity is also possible from the hotel room since there are many online casinos that gambling lovers will appreciate and have the same level of entertainment as in a real casino.
This place is a direct synonym for luxury since it really does meet the expectations of every traveler with a larger budget. This place has huge indoor and outdoor pools. Each of the pools comes with umbrellas, sun loungers, and cabanas. There is also a children's club, which makes this place perfect for families. There are, in total, more than 340 rooms, and each one has air conditioning, bathrobes, free wife, and so on. There are also meeting rooms in case you come here for business purposes.
Did you know that winters in Japan can be quite cold in some places? That may seem attractive to a certain group of tourists looking for luxury. In that case, Zaborin hotel can be perfect for winter sports lovers. This is a hotel that is only 20km away from the Niseko Annupuri International Ski Area. The entire hotel has been completely renovated, and it features the most modern style. Each of the rooms here comes with a balcony, which is a big benefit for many travelers. Best of all, the hotel has private parking that is completely free! At least, you will have one concern less!
If the most important thing for you is to stay in the luxurious hotels and resorts, the previous section will be more valuable. Yet, if you want to know more about luxurious destinations with great outdoor activities, then this section will be more valuable. We decided to highlight three towns in Japan and highlight the biggest luxurious opportunities travelers can enjoy. These three towns are:
Tokyo itself has many luxurious hotels, resorts, and destinations. However, there are also many luxurious destinations you should visit and have some memorable moments there. The hotel we recommend the most is Mandarin Oriental, one of the most luxurious hotels in the entire world. If you are willing to enjoy the world-class cousin, then we recommend you visit L’Effervesencence, one of the restaurants with the best French food. People who are willing to enjoy tradition should visit the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. In one place, you will see a mixture of French, English and Japanese culture (gardens, to be precise). Last but not least, our team gives a strong recommendation to Kabukiya Theater, a prestigious kabuki theater in Japan.
Did you know that Kyoto was the capital of Japan for nearly more than 1000 years? This place is a true mixture of traditional and modern styles. We strongly recommend visiting the Golden Pavilion, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine. These three places are the highlight of the town. Also, Hoshinoya Kyoto is a typical Japanese ryokan that is supported by a modern twist and charm. Despite the Golden Pavilion, you may want to visit the Silver Pavilion as well. All these places will certainly leave a strong impression.
It is hard to determine what is the most luxurious thing to see in Osaka. We primarily recommend you stay at Rity-Carlton in Osaka. This is a five-star hotel that will ensure the highest level of comfort for every visitor. For food lovers, we strongly recommend the Kushikatsu Daruma. It is a Michelin-starred restaurant where you can taste all sorts of Japanese traditional foods. Are you a big fan of skyscrapers? Reach the Umeda Sky Building and experience one of the most stunning views in the world!
The answer depends on what you want to see and do in Japan. In general, there are three periods of the year when tourists usually come. Those three periods are spring (from March to May), when the temperature is nice, in Autumn, between September and November, and around New Year Holidays. Of course, if you want to avoid crowds, then come in periods not mentioned here. Yet, we believe it will be much more entertaining to pick one of the options we highlighted.
Once again, it is quite hard to give a precise answer since we don’t know what your plans are. However, we suggest that you start planning only if you can afford at least 5000 USD. That’s some sort of minimum that can ensure you a comfortable trip. If you want to visit some of the destinations highlighted on this page, you will need twice as that.
We believe that our guide will help you organize a luxurious trip to Japan. We highlighted the best hotels and best destinations in general and answered some crucial questions. No one says you need to visit all these places at once. Divide the costs by organizing multiple trips to this lovely country over the years.
