Luxury Japan Honeymoons made for you

A luxury Japan honeymoon experience, designed just for you

Experience the best of Japan on a luxury honeymoon, from Tokyo to secluded mountain retreats

Japan is one of the most deeply satisfying countries in Asia to explore with your significant other, especially if you’re looking for a place that offers more than palm-fringed beaches (although it has that too) for your luxury Japan honeymoon.

Its energetic cities are ultramodern metropolises, neon lit and full of things to do, like tasting the world’s freshest sushi, strolling through Zen gardens or staying out for some late night karaoke. In the mountainous rural areas, you can find some peace bathing in hot spring water ‘onsen’ baths, hiking to ancient temples and spending some time at an intimate and authentic monastery. We’ll pair you with the best private guides who will introduce you to the country through memorable food and tea experiences.

Our travel designers have a long-established expertise in planning exceptional Japan honeymoons, and we will create an entirely tailor-made honeymoon itinerary that combines luxury, character and your interests, tastes and time.

Get in touch with our expert travel designers to start planning your luxury Japan honeymoon.

Luxury accommodation in Japan

There are many incredible places to stay in Japan. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Tokyo

Shangri-La Tokyo

After a smooth and speedy trip on the world-famous bullet train, you’ll find yourself at the elegant Shangri-La Tokyo, a haven of refinement set amid the relentlessly buzz of Tokyo, just opposite Tokyo Station. With some of the largest rooms in the capital, the Shangri-La is a calming, sleek retreat from the 24-hour energy of Tokyo. There’s one lobby bar and two restaurants, including the Japanese restaurant Nadaman, located on the level 29, where you can sample Chef Takehiro Yoshida’s sautéed eggplant wrapped in thin slices of Wagyu beef. The palette of dark wood, chocolate brown and burnt orange is complimented by low, amber lighting, exuding a sense of elegance and sophistication. Many of the spacious rooms have views across Tokyo, a scene that is best viewed at night. That’s ideal, because you’ll be spending your days out and about exploring the endless fascinations of Tokyo. Within walking distance of the hotel, you’ll find the Ginza shopping district and the Imperial Palace in its park surroundings, and a 20-minute train ride will deliver you to the Buddhist Asakusa Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest temple.

Kyoto

Hoshinoya

Sail along the banks of the Hozugawa River and tucked away in the hills of the Arashiyama district, you will find a series of traditional Japanese-inspired houses clinging to a mountainside, which make up the HOSHINOYA luxury hotel. Upon entering the hotel changed into slippers and silk robes and unwind in this retreat, which will make you feel miles away from the bustle of Kyoto. The 25 rooms at this exclusive resort infuses classic Japanese interiors with contemporary style, creating a tranquil, comfortable atmosphere. During your stay savour the creative multi-course Japanese kaiseki dinner, combining Japanese and foreign flavours for a totally unique culinary experience. Explore the local Arashiyama district and marvel at the famous cherry blossom or venture into Kyoto itself and discover the rich culture of this city. After a busy day treat yourself to a spa treatment at the hotel, relax in the gardens or visit the tea rooms. Unwind at the luxury, peaceful oasis.

Sado Island

Ryokan Urashima

Ryokan Urashima is located close to Mano Bay to the west of the central part of Sado Island on a stretch of coastline popular with bathers. Originally, Urashima started out as a fish shop, and with the change of the times, it transformed itself into a caterer’s shop, and then into a Japanese-style restaurant. It was in 1980 that Urashima became an inn. Late at night there were no means of transportation available for the guests who would go home after enjoying the dinner. Providing guests with a place to stay, Ryokan Urashima came into being. Today the inn remains popular among islanders as well as visitors, maintaining its authentic feel. The inn itself has two elements – the East Building, designed by Hiroshi Naito, one of Japan’s leading architects, and the South Building by prominent architect Japanese Koh Kitayama, a modern design with the building enveloped in glass. Being the original attraction, the seafood here is a real highlight and the chef personally goes out to the fish market to get the best fresh catch daily. The in-season dishes such as abalones, stonefish and rosy sea bass here are renowned among locals and visitors alike.

When to honeymoon in Japan

If you’re hoping to catch the cherry blossoms, then the best time for your luxury Japan honeymoon is in late March to mid-April during spring. However, the autumn months from late October to November are breathtaking – aflame with vibrant reds and oranges. The weather during both seasons is mild and comfortable, great for exploring.
