From the ancient imperial city of Hue, to the stunning limestone islets of Lan Ha Bay, these sites offer a glimpse into the country's past and natural beauty.

If you’re unsure whether Vietnam would be a great holiday spot for you, here are 10 reasons why you should consider visiting Vietnam for your next trip.
Relaxing in an onsen (natural hot spring) is a must when visiting Japan. It's a wonderful way to immerse yourself in Japanese culture. Onsen baths are an important part of Japanese history, as traditionally, communities would bathe together. Baths are taken naked, in separate-gender pools, though historically they were mixed. The mineral-rich waters have various medicinal properties that leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, especially after a long day of sightseeing. There is a specific etiquette that must be observed when bathing, including thoroughly washing before entering, and not letting your hair touch the water.
When enjoying an onsen at the hotel, like you can do when staying in Hakone and/or Takayama (if taking the Japanese Alps extension), the same etiquette applies. In this blog, we give you some tips to ensure you have a great experience in this aspect of Japanese culture during your time in Japan.
