Trees topped with pillowy, pink flowers. A snowcapped mountain ready to be explored. Coral reefs teeming with wildlife. A steamy hot spring to relax in. Food bursting with dynamic flavors. We know what you’ve been dreaming of — and it’s time to wake up.

Waking up in Japan is an experience to remember. Whether your itinerary has you in a major city, a quiet village or somewhere in-between, there are plenty of relaxing ways to start each day. From dipping into an onsen or sipping earthy green tea, to spending time outside on a hike or wandering through public gardens—waking up in Japan has never been so memorable.

It’s no secret that exercise does wonders for our physical and mental health — a fact that remains true, perhaps especially, while traveling. From reducing stress and promoting better sleep to increasing energy levels, a little exercise goes a long way.
