Handpicked Japanese Experiences By Luxeco

1. Stay at a traditional ryokan and rejuvenate in a relaxing onsen

This is a completely immersive experience that will allow you to get a taste for the Japanese lifestyle. Sleeping arrangements consist of a futon laid on the ground. Ryokans are found everywhere in the country, some are basic and others more luxurious. Most come with traditional dining options and on onsen (public bath). Some have private onsens on your balcony, offering fantastic views. Depending on where you are, you might find other quirky touches such as karaoke or different styles of saunas.

2. Get up close and personal with your private chef at a Hibachi or Teppanyaki restaurant

This is a fantastic dining experience and should not be missed. A hibachi is a traditional Japanese heating device, consisting of a stove heated by charcoal or an iron hot plate. Sit around the hot plate and select the from a variety of meat, rice, noodle or vegetable dishes and watch while your chef prepares them in front of your eyes. Sometime, they will even try to impress you with fancy tricks. The food is delicious and the interactive experience, delightful.

3. Have a hanami party beneath beautiful sakura

Hanami is one of Japan’s most ancient festivals, but still celebrated every year during cherry blossom season in the spring. Parks become lively as friends and families picnic under the trees and watch the cherry blossoms bloom. A great opportunity to interact with locals and appreciate the beauty and joy of nature.
