The country has seen several major tourism waves over the years, not least the nearly 32 million visitors who arrived in 2019 during the Rugby World Cup. Today, post-pandemic demand, favorable exchange rates, and the global spread of pop culture via social media have combined to make Japan the “it” destination. Around the world, group chats and tour itineraries are buzzing with plans for the Japan trip of a lifetime. Yet it’s easy to be drawn into the familiar circuit: the well-worn Tokyo–Kyoto–Osaka route, with stops for bowing deer and picture-perfect convenience stores. Step beyond these highlights, however, and a far richer Japan begins to reveal itself. Mountain-side hot springs await weary hikers after long days on the trail, while the country’s southern islands offer distinct cultures, customs, and cuisines. Even in a metropolis like Tokyo, theme-park thrills, intimate concerto performances, and dive-bar charm unfold every night of the week. There truly is something for everyone. So when planning your next journey, set aside the stereotypes and dig deeper. **Explore the recommendations on this list and discover a new side of Japan.** **Hokkaido** **Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono** (Niseko, Hokkaido) _Luxury mountain resort with stunning views of the Annupuri ranges._ **General Manager Paul Wright:** “Niseko always has something for everyone to enjoy.
