Available on newsstands now, the Jan/Feb issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) invites readers to look beyond Japan’s cherry blossoms and snow-ringed peaks to uncover fresh experiences in the Land of the Rising Sun.  

More affordable and accessible than ever, Japan welcomed more than 31 million international visitors in 2024, with the government aiming to double that record-breaking figure by 2030. While crowds continue to flock to the likes of Kyoto and Mount Fuji, many of the island nation’s most unique and rewarding experiences remain unknown to travellers. This latest issue sets out to uncover the best of them, from sacred pilgrimage trails on forested islands to slow and scenic train routes soundtracked by shamisen performances.
