Luxury & Boutique Hotels in Japan

Japan has an unparalleled elegance and sophistication when it comes to their accommodations; from some of the world’s finest flagship hotels to a long heritage of luxury ryokan hotels not found anywhere else in the world. This means you can be drinking in Tokyo’s skyscraper views from the Mandarin Oriental or gazing out over the Shinjuku nightscape from the Park Hyatt one evening, then relaxing in your own hot spring bath after a multi-course kaiseki meal at the Gora Kadan ryokan the next. Using the very best luxury boutique hotels and traditional Japanese ryokans, opulent or humble, your night's rest will be something to look forward to and you will experience some of the highest levels of hospitality to be found anywhere in the world. When staying in ryokans, and some Japan hotels in the more rural areas, bear mind that the country still receives relatively few foreign visitors, so English is not widely spoken. Browse our portfolio of the best hotels in Japan to find the perfect stay for you.

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim.

We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
