Japan is as much about adventures in the midst of wondrously diverse nature as it is about giant cities. And now you can experience the best of both worlds on the doorstep of Tokyo – by settling in at the new Well-Hub Haneda, a hotel that hands you the keys to Japan’s wild side with a stacked line-up of activities and curated experiences available to all guests.
For the fifth issue of Time Out Japan, we’ve collaborated with this just-opened base for adventurous travellers to nudge you towards a new way of experiencing the country. Available nationwide from August 31, the mag offers a full lowdown on why Well-Hub is your ultimate launchpad for diving deep into Japan’s nature and culture.
Inside, you’ll also find an interview with our cover star Aoi Yamada, who over the past few years has captivated us across festival stages, in Netflix’s First Love, Wim Wenders’s Perfect Days and those viral vegetable-dance videos, to name just a few of her creative outlets. We caught up with Yamada in between yoga poses to uncover her wellness secrets – and learned how deep her bond with veggies truly goes.
For those looking to get an undiluted taste of local life around Well-Hub, the hotel’s home city of Kawasaki offers a captivating mix of historic sights, down-to-earth eateries and dive bars. The issue features eight of our favourite spots.
Autumn in Japan always brings with it a wealth of outstanding cultural events. We’ve rounded up a handful of the best art and music festivals taking place in September and October, plus 10 unmissable things to do across the country this season.
