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.

Visit Monaco was a proud sponsor at the Signature Luxury Travel & Style's Luxury Cruise Awards in Sydney. The room was packed with a panel of top luxury cruise experts and advisors. With CLIA Australasia forecasting luxury cruise travellers to grow 20%+ over the next 3 years and a wave of new ships arriving in 2026, Monaco felt like a natural match: a destination made for guests who love the finer experiences, and the ideal pre/post-cruise stop to add extra sparkle to the itinerary.
Huge congrats to all the winners and finalists, and a big thank you to Signature Luxury Travel & Style for putting together such a polished, joy-filled celebration of the best in cruising.

What a fab day and how great is our travel industry community?! 💫
Tokyo Tourism was excited to be part of the Travel Agent Day Australia ( ) event. It was wonderful to see so many travel advisors face-to-face, and to celebrate the strong bonds between Australia & Japan.
With more than 1 million Aussies visiting last financial year, it’s clear that travel to Japan is booming. As a thank you, Tokyo Tourism ended the day with a burst of energy from our friends Wadaiko Rindo, whose taiko drumming gave everyone a lift!
A big dōmo arigatō from Tokyo Tourism and we can’t wait to see you all again soon! ✨
