News From The Far East: Will Japan Be Your 2027 Holiday Destination?
Japan has become the trip a whole generation of British travellers wants to take. If you are weighing it up for 2027, here is what is driving the boom, what it now costs, and where to go when everyone else is going to Kyoto.
Is Japan worth it in 2027?
For most travellers, yes, and the reason is largely financial. A weak yen means the daily cost of a fortnight in Japan currently undercuts a comparable trip to western Europe, while the flights themselves remain the single biggest expense. The trade-off is crowds, which are now substantial on the standard first-timer route and show no sign of easing.
Ask a British traveller in their twenties or thirties where they are going next and there is a decent chance the answer is Japan.

THE HOTEL THAT WAS BUILT TO KEEP SECRETS
Forget the thread count. For the world’s most recognisable travellers, the ultimate luxury is privacy, time, and a hotel that can make an entire London trip disappear behind one set of doors. Corinthia London has been in that business for longer than most people realise.
There are plenty of five-star hotels in London. There are hotels with famous names, famous restaurants and addresses that have been printed on postcards for generations.
And then there are hotels that seem to be working from a slightly different definition of the word.
Corinthia London is one of them, and the interesting question is not why somebody would pay a small fortune to stay there. Money buys marble everywhere. The question is why, when every hotel on earth is available to you and none of them would dream of saying no, you keep choosing this one.

Women of Substance: Minal Patel
She left Gujarat with a clear head and a strong belief. Twenty years on, the head chef at Prashad has a Bib Gourmand, a Chef of the Year title and one thing still firmly in her sights.
Some people tell you who they are. Minal Patel shows you, and she does it on a plate.
Sit down at Prashad, the family-run vegetarian restaurant in Drighlington, and the first thing that reaches you is not the awards on the wall. It is the food. Gujarati cooking, done properly, built from herbs and spices and the kind of care you cannot fake. One mouthful and you understand why people travel from all over the world to eat here. This is a woman who has spent two decades getting one thing exactly right, and it shows.
