Extend the joy of your trip with a special podcast episode
One of the best parts of traveling is anticipation. Which is why if you’re planning the trip you’ve always wanted to take, or maybe just dreaming about it, we recommend Luxury Travel Insider Podcast. Hosted by travel expert Sarah Groen, each week is a deep dive into a different location and topic, from the art and love of Italy, to the old-world glamour of St, Barths. And on the most recent episode—a look into the allure of visiting Japan.
Groen is joined by an expert panel, featuring author and television personality Marc Matsumoto, Yamabushi Monk, Takeharu Kato, and Wondertrunk CEO Wataru Takahashi. Their 45-minute-long conversation features a wide range of topics. Why is Japan such an enticing vacation spot? How does such a small country have so many experts at the top of their game? And what does culture look like in different parts of the country? (Spoiler: the magic is in the nuance.)
Mr. Kato explained how guests can train with the Yamabushi Monks (and the importance of the three sacred mountains). And each guest weighed in on everyone’s favorite topic—food. From temple food to modern twists on classic sweets like wagashi, you’re going to want to visit with a “must eat” list while also saving room for the surprises that come with Japan’s fresh ingredients and attention to culinary excellence.
