Japan in Bloom
Before departing Tokyo, enjoy breakfast at a Kissaten—or 'kissa' for short—an independently run coffee shop that dates back to the early or mid-20th century. After a relaxing day sailing aboard your boutique hotel at sea, a late stay means lots of time to explore Hakodate’s natural beauty and incredible urban layout, the pinnacle of which might be Goryōkaku, a sprawling star fort on the island of Hokkaido.
Next we explore Japan’s main island, Honshu. In Aomori, year-round festival floats fill the waters near the Nebuta Warasse museum. Hirosaki Castle, constructed in 1611 and surrounded by over 2,600 cherry trees, is another must-see before sailing to Akita, home to the famous Lake Tazawa hot springs and the wooden samurai mansions of historic Kakunodate town.
After Kanazawa and Sakaiminato, cross the Korea Strait for a late stay in Busan, where ancient culture and modern life merge in South Korea's second-largest city. Buddhist temples are in abundance, as is incredibly fresh seafood. Savor it raw, the way locals love at the locally-loved Jacky’s Seafood.
Following late stays in both Kitakyushu and Hiroshima, and unwind while cruising the inland Sea of Japan, be sure to sample Takamatsu’s famous noodle dish, Sanuki udon, before an exciting overnight in Kobe. Known for the beef delicacy that bears its name, explore Kobe’s spectacular shogun and emperor shrines, temples, and palaces. In Shimizu, gaze in awe at Mount Fuji, Japan’s tallest peak, overlooking this beautiful town, then conclude your intensive Japanese voyage with an overnight back in Tokyo. If you’re not ready to leave just yet, set out on one of our immersive Land Programs.
