It’s no secret that Japan is topping many people’s bucket lists right now, with the country recently being named the top destination for 2024 in Conde Nast Traveller’s Reader’s Choice Awards.
Travelsphere, one of the UK’s original group touring operators, and their solo touring arm Just You, agrees that Japan is one of their fastest-growing destinations. “It’s not just Gen Z - there’s a big interest in Japan from all age groups,” says Marketing Director Charlotte Field. “We’re seeing the number of travellers soar, with both Travelsphere and Just You Japan bookings up 50% year-on-year.”
As last-minute flight prices rise rapidly for the famous blossom season, now’s the time to secure your 2025 holiday to Japan in March or April - the best time for hanami (“flower viewing”).
