Looking to travel solo in Japan? Discover the unique beauty, culture and heritage of the 'Land of the Rising Sun' on our fascinating dedicated solo traveller holiday, which combines the highlights and hidden gems of this truly mesmerising destination. 

Japan is a country steeped in the tradition of majestic emperors and ruthless martial arts, balanced with tranquil gardens and a Buddhist outlook on life. These treasured cultural traditions are complemented by the advanced technology, futuristic architecture and quirky gadgets that vie for your attention in Japan's neon-lit cities. It's a remarkably diverse country just waiting to be discovered, combined, of course, with the incredibly polite and respectful Japanese hospitality.

Journey past Mt. Fuji on an iconic bullet train, take in the tranquillity of Kyoto's Zen gardens and temples, experience the poignant history of Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and learn about Japan's traditional past in Nara.
