Bleisure Travel in Japan
You’ve flown all the way to Japan. Why not stay a little longer, see a little deeper, and leave with more than a stack of business cards?
Beyond the boardroom
Looking for fresh crisp air? Wander the gentle trails of Mt. Mitake, where forest air and sweeping views offer quiet moments of clarity.
In need of a slower pace? Let the steam guide you through the peaceful onsen towns of Atami or Kusatsu, where warm waters and timeless rituals invite you to unwind.
Drawn to stories of the past? Stroll through Matsumoto’s castle town, where samurai history lingers in every stone path and wooden beam.
Seeking something truly memorable? In Gifu-Hashima, watch skilled swordsmiths shape glowing steel—an art passed down through generations with care and intention.
