Explore the Land of the Rising Sun
Your Japan Intensive voyage begins with an overnight stay in Tokyo, truly one of the great cities of the world, where modern marvels brush up against ancient traditions. After a relaxing day at sea, we arrive at the quaint seaside port of Aomori (where harborfront museums tantalize art and history buffs) and the peaceful city of Akita, famed for its rice and sake. Next, it’s on to beautiful Niigata, historic Kanazawa, and the charming fishing port of Sakaiminato.
After a sail across the Korea Strait, enjoy a late-night stay in bustling Busan, “the Miami of South Korea”. Then, it’s back to Japan and a late-night stay in Nagasaki, followed by late stays in Kitakyushu and Hiroshima. Enjoy a serene cruise through Japan’s Inland Sea before arriving in Takamatsu. Your voyage ends with an overnight stay in Osaka, giving you plenty of time to explore the country’s culinary capital or venture off to nearby Kyoto.
