National Geographic Traveller UK | Jan-Feb 2026
This month’s cover story journeys the length of Japan — from the tropical Okinawa archipelago in the south to the snow-covered island of Hokkaido in the north — and uncovers its most idiosyncratic experiences, from spotting the endemic wildlife of the Yaeyama Islands to visiting the vinyl listening bars of Tokyo. Elsewhere, we find out how Sámi creativity blooms amid the ice and snow of Sweden’s northern Lapland area; take a backcountry hike through the Grand Canyon along the multi-day Escalante Route; discover the food icons and ancient history of Lyon, the French city with a young spirit; go on a photographic journey through Türkiye's lush, tea-wreathed hills around the city of Rize; and check out Marrakech's best sleeps, from olive-tree-dotted resorts to ancient riads .
