Japan Honeymoon

One of Japan's top nightscape destinations, Hokkaido demands that you visit Mount Hakodate by twilight for the city lights spread out below you. The dreamy lavender fields in Furano village are as jaw-dropping as the brightly-colored flowerbeds in Shikisai No Oka. Don't forget to greet the penguins at Asahiyama zoo in Asahikawa.

The best way to witness Fuji is actually from afar. Take the cable car to Owakudani and watch closely as Fuji comes into view, stunning viewers with its near-perfect symmetry. You could also head to Moto Hakone where the mountain casts an impeccable reflection upon Lake Ashi. Outdoorsy couples can attempt to scale the 12,388ft high peak - you'll create memories of a lifetime up here.

With tranquil streets, romantic gardens, and a thousand temples, Kyoto is a honeymooner's delight. Climb Mount Daimon-ji to enjoy a sublime sunset over the Arashiyama Mountains, or buy each other love amulets at Kiyomizu-dera Temple and wish upon the magical stone. Bike along the easy paths following Kamo River, and stop at the Kiyomizu Temple for incredible views.

Don't make the mistake of skipping this intriguing megapolis. There's much to experience, from eclectic street festivals, to the whimsical holiday lighting (called "illumination"), and the after-dark fortune tellers at Shinjuku Street. How about a cozy dinner at Sky Restaurant 634, a whopping 1135ft high in the sky? You might espy Mount Fuji in the distance on a clear night.

You can actually have your own traditional marriage ceremony layered in a white shiromuku kimono for brides, and an elegant black montsuki kimono for the groom. You'll be shown how to renew your nuptials in Japanese.

While in Japan, make the most of shiatsu massage where expert practitioners restore your body's energy flow and balance. Notice how fingers and palms are used to stimulate stressed nerves and ease them into a state of near-bliss.

Come spring, Japan awakens to its most famous natural phenomenon, the ethereal cherry blossom (sakura) flowerings. Plan a romantic picnic at a park with the pink blossoms as a backdrop. Chidorigafuchi Park in Tokyo is a top recommendation.

You can actually cook eggs at the active volcano valley of Owakudani Hot Springs. Enjoy the kuro tamago black eggs, boiled to perfection thanks to all that thermal excitability. Legend has it that each egg adds seven years to your lifespan, but eat no more than two if you want to avoid bad luck!

Delve into the more profound aspects of Japanese culture with a night at a ryokan. This traditional inn features futon beds, wooden architecture, and traditional Japanese meals that can be served in your room. An on-site onsen (hot spring) is common.
