Travelling to Japan

If you are looking for an adventure, take a flight to Japan to experience cutting-edge technology blended with ancient tradition. Book your flights with Virgin Australia to embark on a journey featuring sun-kissed coastlines with lots of scenic beauty, huge mountains (often volcanic) and most gorgeous valleys. In short, Japan has it all. 

The best things to do in Japan:

  • Watch Kyoto’s geishas colour the room as they perform their traditional dance.
  • Indulge your taste buds with fresh sashimi in any of Tokyo’s lavish sushi restaurants.
  • Refresh your personality while hiking in the Japan Alps.
  • Though seen as a world leader in technology, Japan has preserved its centuries old traditions. These are exemplified in the many temples, shrines and castles found in Japan, such as the Meiji Shrine and the Sensō-ji Buddhist Temple.

Festivals in Japan

Japan is a truly festive country, especially on New Year’s Eve, the Cherry Blossom Festival, and the Samurai Parade. Book your flight to Japan with Virgin Australia to begin your world-class experience.
