Book Your Holiday To Experience The Innovative Difference

Japan, the land of Geisha, Gardens, Castles, Samurai and Temples enchants with its time-honoured traditions.

For the discerning traveller, Japan offers far more than a holiday - it offers a cultural immersion. Here, history is not confined to museums; it lives in the rhythm of a tea ceremony, in the brushstrokes of calligraphy, and in the echo of temple bells at dusk. Every region tells its own story, from feudal strongholds and imperial capitals to serene mountain villages that seem untouched by time.

Whether travelling solo, with friends or family, or as part of a Small Group Tour, Innovative Travel and our trusted local operators can help turn your Japanese dreams into lifelong memories. As a trusted established destination specialist, founded in 1990, Innovative Travel has the networks, the on the ground support and experience to make your journey seamless, allowing you to focus on discovery, not logistics.

Picture a place where ancient temples meet neon skylines, and sushi is elevated to an art form. Japan offers history, adventure and refinement in equal measure. For those who seek depth as well as beauty, the country’s sacred sites and preserved districts reveal great traditions.

In Kyoto, the exquisite Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines sit amidst one of the nation’s best-preserved former imperial capitals. Wander through vermilion Torii Gates, explore Zen rock gardens designed for contemplation, and discover centuries-old wooden townhouses where traditional crafts are still practised.

In Nara, several UNESCO World Heritage Sites stand as enduring symbols of Japan’s spiritual and artistic heritage. Here, grand temple complexes and ancient treasures speak to the birth of Japanese civilisation, offering a profound sense of place and continuity.

From historic castles to the subtle beauty of seasonal landscapes, Japan rewards those who travel here, where hospitality is warm, and where each encounter leaves a lasting impression.
