If you're planning a honeymoon in Japan, it's tempting to see as many cities as you can. But changing hotels every day or two wears you out faster than you'd expect.

With one or two weeks, we recommend a few days in Tokyo, two or three nights in an onsen area, then on to Kyoto or Osaka. Hakone, Mishima and the Izu area are good places to break the journey between Tokyo and Kansai: hot springs, Mt Fuji, good food and a bit of local culture.

Romantic getaway to the mountains of Shizouka for a newlywed couple, couple on their honeymoon, anniversary, or vowel renewal.

For baby boomers, Tokyo is less about hustling through subway crowds and more about leisurely exploring the alleyways of Asakusa or enjoying a sunset from the serene Odaiba waterfront. It’s where you can appreciate a Kabuki show in the morning and savor a quiet sushi dinner by a Michelin-starred chef in the evening.

If you think Paris and Venice are the only romantic destinations in the world, then you’ve been sleeping on a gem of beauty and culture. Japan is full of many well-known spots and special sights for couples who want to cherish their 40th or 50th wedding anniversary here.

So, if you’re planning to celebrate your day in Japan, we have a handful of 50th wedding anniversary ideas to make the trip special and memorable.
