🌿Think you know Tokyo? There is another side waiting to be discovered.
Just beyond the city's famous skyline lies Tama, a side of Tokyo filled with lush forests, rivers, artisan food, hidden cultural gems and unforgettable experiences that many visitors never get to see.
🔎 If you're planning a trip to Japan, it's well worth adding Tama to your itinerary, as featured in the latest Signature Luxury Travel & Style: https://www.signatureluxurytravel.com.au/tama-tokyo/
Thank you Christian Barker & Signature MediaMedia team.

🗼❤️Planning your next Tokyo adventure? We've got plenty of inspiration for you!
Last week on NINE's Getaway, Tim Blackwell was exploring the cool streets of Shimokitazawa, or "Shimokita" as the locals know it.
Thank you to our amazing guide Takako for taking Tim to some hidden bars, cafes and maybe the best curry in Tokyo?! and so much more.
Just one express stop from Shibuya, Shimokita is a world away from the city's bright lights. This laid-back neighbourhood is famous for its maze of narrow, pedestrian-friendly streets, vintage fashion, independent cafés, craft beer bars, live music venues and creative spirit. It's one of those places where getting a little lost is all part of the experience.

If you missed our other Tokyo segments on Getaway, you can catch up, all secrets are revealed on the show website.

Dōmo arigatō! We hope these stories inspire your own Tokyo getaway. Have fun planning your next adventure! 🗼❤️

Not every trip to Tokyo, Japan has to include the hustle and bustle...

🗼❤️ A fantastic week in Tokyo! 🇯🇵

Tourism Garden has been attending a dynamic series of events hosted by the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB), connecting with industry colleagues, long-time partners and many exciting new suppliers.

One thing really stood out this week: Japan's tourism industry is embracing new ways of working to welcome record numbers of international visitors while continuing to deliver exceptional visitor experiences. It’s an exciting time to be part of the industry.

With the seminar, workshops and FAM trip now wrapped up, we're taking a moment to enjoy this remarkable city, where every visit reveals something new. Endless discovery.

Lots of news to share. Arigatou Tokyo🗼❤️

After much anticipation, our first copy of Jane Lawson’s incredible new book Secret Japan has arrived, and it was absolutely worth the wait!
This is no ordinary guidebook. Jane takes us on a journey through all 47 of Japan’s prefectures, sharing a phenomenal body of work that only she could achieve. With wisdom, depth, and genuine insight, Secret Japan truly lives up to its promise as “an insider’s guide to deeper travel in the world’s most fascinating country”.
If you have any interest in Japan, and in experiencing it beyond the surface, this book is for you. Jane invites you into a more thoughtful, sensitive way of travelling, connecting you to the many faces of this beloved land of the rising sun.
And did we mention Jane’s photography? Absolutely stunning.
If you don’t have a copy yet… what are you waiting for?
Bravo Jane-san, what an achievement👏👏👏

Fresh off the press with LATTE Luxury News: “Master Monaco, a 4-day itinerary to inspire your clients" that makes the case for staying put. Think culture on the Rock, hidden local flavours, wellness, and a slow-luxury nature finale. Have a read and steal the best bits for your next client plan:

Tucked between the South of France and the Italian Riviera, Monaco is a glittering gem that’s far more than a glamorous day trip.
