Your Japan honeymoon package begins in Tokyo, where neon-lit skyscrapers, quiet courtyards, and some of the best food in the world sit within a few train stops of each other. Enjoy three nights soaking up the city's energy before heading into the mountains. This package is based on indirect flights - direct options are available with Japan Airlines and British Airways subject to cost.
Hotel Groove Shinjuku puts you right in the middle of one of Tokyo's most iconic neighbourhoods, an easy walk from Shinjuku Station, the Kabukicho entertainment district, and the quieter Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. The hotel's music-inspired design and rooftop bar make it a stylish base for a honeymoon - after a day of sightseeing, you can watch the city light up from above before heading back out to explore Shinjuku's restaurants and bars at street level.
Tokyo is a great place for honeymooners with plenty of activities to enjoy:
From Tokyo, you'll transfer by rail to Hakone - the rail journey itself is part of the experience, with views that start to open up toward the mountains as you leave the city behind.
Hakone is where the pace of your honeymoon slows down. Famous for its onsen (hot spring) culture and views of Mount Fuji, this is the part of the itinerary built for relaxing together rather than sightseeing at full speed.
Set on the shores of Lake Ashi, Hakone Ashinoko Hanaori combines traditional ryokan-style hospitality with lake and mountain views. Many rooms and communal bath areas look directly out over the water, and on clear days, Mount Fuji is visible in the distance. It's the kind of property designed around slowing down; private in-room dining, seasonal kaiseki menus, and multiple onsen baths make it easy to spend a full day without leaving the property.
Hakone is one of Japan's most celebrated onsen towns, and a honeymoon is the perfect excuse to fully embrace the ritual. Ways to make the most of it:
From Hakone, you'll take a rail transfer to Kyoto. It's a scenic transition from mountain hot springs to Japan's historic cultural capital.
Kyoto is Japan's cultural heart, and three nights here are dedicated to the side of the country most honeymooners picture before they even book the trip: temples, gardens, geisha districts, and centuries-old tradition.
Good Nature Hotel Kyoto sits directly on the Kamo River in the Kawaramachi area, one of Kyoto's most walkable and central neighbourhoods. The hotel leans into a wellness-and-sustainability concept, with an organic restaurant, spa, and rooftop terrace - a modern counterpoint to the traditional temples and tea houses you'll be exploring during the day.
Included in this package is a traditional Japanese tea ceremony (sado), typically hosted in a quiet, tatami-floored tea room by a trained tea master. You'll learn the history and etiquette behind the ritual and prepare and drink matcha together in the formal style that's been practiced in Kyoto for centuries. It's consistently one of the most-requested honeymoon activities in Kyoto for couples who want a slower, more intimate cultural experience than a typical temple visit.
Kyoto has thousands of temples and shrines, but a few stand out as honeymoon essentials:
From Kyoto, you'll fly to Okinawa. This is the point in the itinerary where the trip shifts gears entirely - from mountains and temples to tropical island beaches.
Okinawa closes out the cultural and mountain portion of the honeymoon with five nights of beach time. It's a different Japan holiday altogether - subtropical, laid-back, and built around the water. Enjoy warm, sunny beach weather, golden sand beaches and crystal clear water.
Hotel Nikko Alivila, on Okinawa's west coast in Yomitan, is designed in a Mediterranean-inspired style with white buildings, courtyards, and direct beach access. It's one of Okinawa's best-known resort properties for honeymooners, with multiple pools, a private beach, and on-site spa - the kind of place where five nights can easily disappear between the beach, the pool, and doing very little else.
Five nights in Okinawa is plenty of time to properly explore the island's coastline and reefs:
From Okinawa, you'll fly back to Tokyo to close out the honeymoon with one final night in the capital before your international flight back to the UK.
The final night brings you back to Tokyo, ending your honeymoon with one more night in the city before flying home. It's a chance for any last-minute shopping, a final dinner, or simply a relaxed evening together to reflect on the trip.
Park Hotel Tokyo, in Shiodome, is known for its art-themed "Artist Room" floor and views over Tokyo Bay and the city skyline. The hotel is close to Shimbashi Station and well-connected for an easy transfer to the airport the next morning.
With just one night and a travel day ahead, keep plans simple and flexible:
Narita and Haneda airports can both involve significant transit time from central Tokyo, so building in extra time before your flight helps avoid a stressful final morning.

Most couples spend 10–14 days to comfortably cover a mix of cities, culture, and beach time. This itinerary runs 14 days, giving you 3 nights in Tokyo, 2 in Hakone, 3 in Kyoto, 5 in Okinawa, and a final night back in Tokyo - enough time in each location without feeling rushed.
A well-rounded package typically includes return international flights, domestic rail transfers (such as the Shinkansen), domestic flights between regions like Okinawa, hotel accommodation for every night of the trip, and at least one signature cultural experience, such as a traditional tea ceremony.
Yes - Okinawa offers a completely different side of Japan from Tokyo, Hakone, and Kyoto, with white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and a subtropical climate. It's a popular way to end a Japan honeymoon with beach relaxation after several days of sightseeing.
A Tokyo–Hakone–Kyoto–Okinawa route is one of the most popular first-time honeymoon itineraries in Japan. It covers Tokyo's modern city energy, Hakone's hot springs and Mount Fuji views, Kyoto's temples and traditional culture, and Okinawa's beaches - giving couples a complete picture of Japan in a single trip.
No. This itinerary is designed around Japan's rail network and domestic flights, so you can travel between Tokyo, Hakone, and Kyoto by train, and reach Okinawa by air, without needing to drive.
An authentic Kyoto tea ceremony is a quiet, guided introduction to the Japanese tea tradition (sado), usually led by a trained host in a traditional tea room. It's a popular honeymoon activity in Kyoto because it's intimate, culturally rich, and typically lasts around an hour.
Cost depends heavily on hotel category, season, and flight class, but a 14-night package covering flights, rail transfers, domestic flights, and hotels across Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, and Okinawa generally falls into the upscale travel range, given the mix of city hotels, a hot spring ryokan-style stay, and a beach resort.
Spring (late March–April) for cherry blossoms and autumn (November) for fall foliage are the most popular times, especially for the Kyoto and Hakone portions of the trip. For the Okinawa leg, late spring through summer offers the warmest beach weather.
