  • Japan

    Home to over 3,000 natural hot springs, Japan is literally floating on hot water! rom snowbound craters in Hokkaido to steam-filled valleys in Kyushu. This is a country where bathing has been refined into an art form, shaped by ritual, season, and a deep sense of place.

    Soak beneath cedar trees, watch the steam rise over snowy landscapes, and let mineral-rich waters soften skin and quiet the mind. Whether you're hopping between ryokan in the mountains or slipping into a city sentō at day’s end, Japan invites you to bathe like a local—and rest like a pilgrim.

    “We didn’t want a typical honeymoon, and Cate completely got that. She planned the perfect mix of rainforest lodges, hot springs in Arenal, and downtime on the Nicoya Peninsula. Soaking in the thermal river near Rincón de la Vieja was a dream — totally wild and peaceful. The whole trip felt like us, adventurous, calm, and deeply restorative.”

    — Lara & Jade, London

    “We’d never thought to plan a trip around hot springs, but now we’re converts! Every stop had its own vibe with sleek spa hotels mixed in with natural river pools surrounded by wildflowers. Cate’s passion for bathing traditions came through in every detail. We slowed down, and we truly felt good.”

    — Richard & Emma H., Bristol

    “I’ve travelled to Japan before, but this was different — more meaningful. Cate understood exactly what I was looking for and created a trip that felt deeply personal. From tiny riverside onsens to forest hikes ending in cedar-scented springs, it was everything I didn’t know I needed. I came back grounded, recharged, and already dreaming about the next one.”

    — Sophie M., UK
