There’s never been a better time to explore Japan, especially considering the exceptional value the Japanese yen is delivering. Last year was the first time over a million Australians visited Japan and with that love affair showing no signs of slowing, we’ve created a new Konnichiwa Japan platform with a host of helpful travel tools so you can plan your Japanese adventure easily.
Whether you’re dreaming of cherry blossoms around Mt Fuji, neon-lit Tokyo nights or relaxing in a traditional onsen, the platform allows you to get inspired with interactive maps, suggested itineraries, top tips and more.
The Personalised Itinerary Creator helps you map out day-by-day experiences depending on when you will be travelling, what your travel style is and length of stay. A sample itinerary includes travelling to Club Wyndham Sundance Kawaguchiko where guests can unwind beside Lake Kawaguchiko with spectacular views of Mt Fuji. Highlights include traditional kaiseki dining, peaceful lakeside walks and restorative onsen experiences.
There’s also a helpful interactive map that allows you to visualise resort locations, nearby attractions and transport connections across the country.
We know how much our owners value being part of the community and hearing from each other about how and where to travel. The site features several owner stories where members share their travel experiences and tips for your own travels.
You can read about Julie, who travelled with three generations of her family to see the cherry blossoms with father, mother, son, daughter-in-law and grandson. They stayed at Club Wyndham Sundance Resort Hakone-Gora, before travelling to Club Wyndham Sundance Resort Karuizawa. At the latter, they took a pirate ship journey across Lake Ashinoko with a tori gate rising from the water, zig-zagged through the mountains by train and tried the famous Hakone sightseeing loop with the ropeway station only 100 metres from the resort.
Or read about how another owner, Colin, who spent three weeks in Japan on what he described as his ‘best trip yet’, staying at Club Wyndham Chikumakan Nagano. There, he explored local historical sites, enjoyed the peaceful onsen, and indulged in delicious meals at the resort, including regional Shinshu specialities. Next, he moved on to Club Wyndham Sundance Lake Resort, a grand European-style hotel sitting 800 metres above sea level. He spent his days walking along scenic trails around the ponds, visiting a nearby modern art gallery, and even climbing an old volcano to take in breathtaking views. For his final week, Colin stayed at Club Wyndham Sundance Resort Kawaguchiko, an intimate resort with easy access to local attractions including Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum, a theme park and museum displaying automatic musical instruments, all set against a stunning view of Mt. Fuji.
Ken’s young family spent 16 days travelling across Japan and staying at Club Wyndham Sundance Resort Kawaguchiko and said they loved the rooms there. They enjoyed relaxed strolls, rode the panoramic ropeway and visited Fuji Safari Park, where the animals come up close.
These shared stories show us that Japan offers something for every kind of traveller – adventure, connection, reflection and discovery.
