For newlywed couples, there’s nothing quite like starting your new life together with the travel experience of a lifetime. Here are the most romantic places in
Japan to spend your honeymoon.
Kyoto
The ancient city of
Kyoto is, without a doubt, one of the most romantic destinations in all of Japan. Bask in the historical atmosphere, find peace in a bamboo forest or zen garden, get pampered by the ultimate in Japanese hospitality at a traditional ryokan inn, and dine on the very best of Japanese haute cuisine known as kaiseki dining.
Miyajima
Miyajima, located just outside of Hiroshima, is famous for its torii gate that floats on the water at high tide. The tiny island town offers accommodations to suit every budget, from traditional inns to resort hotels on the waterfront. Explore Miyajima’s beautiful shrines and temples, encounter the docile population of wild deer, and hike to the top of Mount Misen for a stunning panoramic view of the island.
Fuji’s Five Lakes
One of the best views of
Mount Fuji can be had from the five lakes at the base of the sacred mountain. The lake resort town of Kawaguchiko in particular offers hiking, fishing, and canoeing for nature enthusiasts and museums, onsen, and sightseeing for those looking for a more leisurely honeymoon.
Karuizawa
Karuizawa, a popular couples resort town, makes for the perfect honeymoon destination any time of year. Enjoy picturesque cherry blossoms in the spring, lush nature in the summer, gorgeous foliage in autumn, and a snowy wonderland in the winter. Much of the local architecture is reminiscent of a quaint
European hamlet, and the wooden chapels here frequently host Western-style weddings. In the wintertime, the town transforms into a charming Christmas village complete with an ice skating pod.
Hida-Takayama
If you want a traditional taste of Japan with a different flavor from Kyoto, the secluded mountain town of Hida-Takayama may be the honeymoon destination for you. Old Town Takayama is one of the best-preserved historic areas in all of Japan and will make you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. It’s also one of the few places where you can enjoy Hida beef, a brand of domestic wagyu that rivals even
Kobe beef. Just a short distance from Hida-Takayama is the historic village of Shirakawa-go, designated a UNESCO World Heritage site for its unique thatched-roof farmhouses.
