Japan offers an immersive luxury experience that transcends expectations

From refined accommodations to world-class cuisine and private cultural encounters, Japan offers the discerning traveller a symphony of opulence and tradition.

Japan does luxury differently. It’s not showy or over the top—it’s thoughtful, elegant, and completely immersive. We love how it manages to feel both grounded in tradition and quietly cutting-edge at the same time.

You might start your trip in a ryokan tucked into the hills, where you pad across tatami mats in your slippers and soak in an onsen as the sun sets behind the mountains. Or maybe you’ll head straight for Tokyo, where some of the world’s most stylish hotels come with rooftop bars, sky-high spas, and rooms that look out over the city like a movie set.

Food is a big part of the magic. You’ll try kaiseki meals that look like miniature art installations, sushi so fresh it practically melts, and desserts that are as beautiful as they are delicious. It’s not just about eating—it’s about the whole experience.

And then there are the special moments you’ll never forget: a private tea ceremony in Kyoto, a quiet hour learning calligraphy with a master, or a walk through a garden that’s been tended for centuries. We like to build in those little details that make a trip feel entirely yours.

If you’re after a bit of wilderness too, Hokkaido’s remote lodges are ideal—think snowy forests, hot springs, and total stillness. Or down in Okinawa, you can charter a yacht and float between tiny islands with turquoise water and nobody else in sight.

For us, a luxury holiday in Japan is less about ticking boxes and more about feeling completely present—pampered, yes, but also connected to something really special. And if that sounds like your kind of trip, we’d love to help make it happen.

Nia, our Japan specialist says:

“I love how luxury in Japan feels so thoughtful and understated. It’s not just about five-star hotels—though there are plenty—it’s the little details, like the way your tea is poured at a traditional ryokan or the quiet elegance of a private garden view. I love being able to craft trips where one moment you’re wandering through a peaceful Kyoto temple, and the next you’re enjoying a ten-course kaiseki dinner that looks like art. It’s indulgent, but in that uniquely Japanese way—calm, refined, and unforgettable.”

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
