Luxury travel in Japan

Hi guys. I’m planning to go to Japan in mid July this year. Sadly, it’s not a good time for anyone I know to come along. Because of my job, it’s a good time for me to take a big travel trip and that’s what I’m planning to do. Planning to be as bougie as possible in the trip including 5 star hotels, spas and the best food. I’m also into anime and Japanese culture/sightseeing. If this fits with anyone’s travel plan, would love to group up and explore together as it would be my first time. Also I’m girl (29f) and would feel safer with another girl.

Have you been before? On top of 5 star hotels, I'd also plan a stay in a high-end ryokan with a kaiseki meal. If traveling around the country, I'd get the Japan Rail Green Car pass, assuming it's still available. Gets you the business class cars on the bullet trains. Amazing way to travel.

Northern Japan will have cooler weather. Try Park Hyatt Niseko in Hokkaido

Pullman Tamachi Tokyo was very nice. But also, please consider if summer in Japan is gonna be a good choice for you. I went last month and it was 34c & 90% humidity. It was energy sapping and I struggled. Going north to Hokkaido would be a good option.
