Japan 2025: a ReCAP

Japan 2025: a ReCAP

Our Best of Japan Group Trip was one for the books. From the moment we landed in Tokyo, the energy, culture, and beauty of Japan swept us away. Over ten incredible days, we explored two of Japan’s most iconic cities — Tokyo and Kyoto — blending modern excitement with timeless tradition.

Tokyo greeted us with bright lights, endless shopping, and amazing food at every turn. We kicked things off with a rooftop welcome social at the Aloft Tokyo Ginza, giving everyone a chance to meet, connect, and toast to the start of an unforgettable journey. The next few days were packed with adventure — a full-day tour of Tokyo’s top landmarks, a scenic day trip to Mount Fuji, and time for everyone to experience “Tokyo Your Way,” from sushi-making and sumo wrestling to exploring Shibuya’s famous crossing.

Midweek, we traded the neon skyline for Kyoto’s old-world charm. Our group checked into the beautiful Hyatt Regency Kyoto, where we slowed the pace to soak in Japan’s cultural heart. A Geisha experience and tea ceremony gave us a rare glimpse into centuries-old traditions, and our Kyoto city tour took us through tranquil temples, bamboo groves, and historic streets draped in fall colors.

We ended the trip back in Tokyo with a farewell hibachi dinner, laughing over memories and celebrating new friendships. It was the perfect way to close out a week filled with discovery, connection, and pure joy.

To everyone who joined us — thank you for making this trip so special. You reminded us why we love what we do. And if you missed Japan this time, don’t worry — we’ve got even more incredible group adventures coming up next year, including Bali and Marrakech & Lisbon.
