further \u2013 and with the Japanese yen still trading at a historically favourable rate for Australian visitors, it will. With an increased return on your currency exchange, there will never be a better time to splurge on your itinerary. Whether you\u2019re tempted by a visit to Tokyo DisneySea, a traditional <em>ryokan<\/em> stay with a private <em>onsen <\/em>bath, or the purchase of luxury fruits (the <em>Taiyou no Tamago<\/em> mango and square watermelon are the perfect summer treat), enjoy access to greater value for every expenditure on your budget.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Current as of time of writing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s less crowded out of cherry blossom season \u2013 and there\u2019s plenty of flowers to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan is world-famous for its cherry blossom season (rightly so), but the Japanese summer also offers flower fans an opportunity to admire the spectacle of nature with a fraction of the springtime crowds. Mid and late summer is the best time for Tokyo arrivals to see lotus flowers in all their pink and ivory glory. Lotus-viewing hotspots include Ueno Park\u2019s Shinobazu Pond and Koishikawa-Korakuen Gardens near Suidobashi Station.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An easy day trip from Tokyo or Yokohama is the coastal city Odawara \u2013 visit during June and July for a ride on the \u2018Hydrangea Train\u2019. Aptly named for the clusters of violet, azure, and pink hydrangea bushes that bloom along that Hakone Tozan Railway line, it adds a touch of Studio Ghibli-esque whimsy to your journey up the mountain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_2f737aed85a089056ce67ff8fbff9e14\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_preview\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide lux_dealcard_gallery\"

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience authentic traditions at a Japanese festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer is a season of celebration, during which some of the country\u2019s most longstanding <em>matsuri <\/em>(festivals) take place. Staying in Kyoto? Venture to the Gion Matsuri,  where the streets are colourful with grand processions of towering floats and shrine parishioners sing to the beat of traditional chimes, flutes and drums. Love the sound of music? Hear thundering<em> taiko<\/em> drums during the <a href=\"https:\/\/kokuragiondaiko.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kokura Gion Taiko<\/a> festival. Send off July with a bang in Tokyo at the Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival or release a paper lantern into the night sky at Osaka\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senshu-beachlantern.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Senshu Beach Lantern Fest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a rare treat, head to Shikoku for the Tsushima Shrine Festival. Located on a tiny island off the coast of Mino Town, this shrine is only open two days of the year. Locals cross the bridge onto the tiny island to receive blessings. Back on the mainland, wander festival stalls featuring carnival games and selling delicious eats, from sizzling <em>yakisoba <\/em>(fried buckwheat noodles) slathered in sweet soy sauce to cooling <em>kakigori<\/em>, a shaved ice dessert topped with sugary syrup or seasonal fruits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_ad08a5459d2a08335d35b9ee6f1b1a07\">\n\t\n\t<div

}\n}<\/script>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Japan just topped the world&#8217;s best destinations list \u2013 again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the third year running, Japan has topped Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler&#8217;s Readers&#8217; Choice Awards as the world&#8217;s best destination. Tokyo and Kyoto take their expected places at the top, but Hokkaido makes the case for going further north. In winter, Niseko&#8217;s powder and the Sapporo Snow Festival draw visitors from across the world; in summer, the island makes an equally compelling argument. Sapporo&#8217;s Nijo Fish Market is the place to start \u2013 crab, salmon roe and fat Hokkaido scallops piled into rice bowls at stalls that have been running the same way for decades. From mid-July, the hills around Furano turn purple with lavender at Farm Tomita, and further north, the Hokuryu Sunflower Festival sees two million sunflowers in bloom through to late August. A 90-minute domestic flight from Tokyo gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can get close and personal with a national icon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mt Fuji has always drawn a crowd \u2013 and Japan has responded by making the experience better managed for everyone. New rules for the 2026 season mean climbers on all four trails need to pre-register online, pay a \u00a54,000 entry fee and hold a confirmed mountain hut booking for overnight ascents. The upside: less congestion on the trails, a more considered climb, and a summit sunrise that feels earned. The official season runs from early July to 10 September. Non-climbers are well served by Lake Yamanakako Hana no Miyako Park, where summer blossoms frame classic Fuji views, or a leisurely bike circuit around the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover Japan<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Discover Japan\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__arrows\">\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button>\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"splide__track\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__list\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"offer_006RF00000UyzsAYAR\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_hotel cacheid_8b49bb7e17c89f169ee1baa27ebf3e2e\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/offer\/kimpton-shinjuku-tokyo-ihg-japan-asia\/006RF00000UyzsAYAR\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"offer Flash carousel LuxPlus   \" data-name=\"Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo, an IHG Hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t<div class=\"offer_preview\">\n\t\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/xd1uefjha688qgyniym.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_250\/xd1uefjha688qgyniym.webp 250w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_400\/xd1uefjha688qgyniym.webp 400w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_600\/xd1uefjha688qgyniym.webp 600w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_800\/xd1uefjha688qgyniym.webp 800w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/xd1uefjha688qgyniym.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 250px, 250px\" alt=\"Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo, an IHG Hotel, Tokyo, Japan\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/figure>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"offer_details\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tags\"><div class=\"countdown\" data-type=\"offer\" data-time-remaining=\"82930\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"location\"><i><\/i><span>Tokyo, Japan<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo, an IHG Hotel<\/div><div class=\"tagline\">Tokyo Award-Winning Escape: Central Shinjuku Luxury with Daily Breakfast &#038;
