Circumnavigation of Japan: Golden Highlights & Coastal Discovery - Cruise & Land Journey

Experience Japan by sea and land as you sail from Osaka on a circular journey around the Japanese archipelago, visiting lesser-known ports and coastal towns rarely reached by larger ships. Explore the Seto Inland Sea, cross to Busan in South Korea, then journey north along the Sea of Japan before returning down the Pacific coast, all timed with Japan’s exquisite cherry blossom season. Continue your journey on land from Osaka to Tokyo, staying in carefully selected hotels and immersing yourself in Japan’s rich culture and traditions. Discover Kyoto’s golden temples and bamboo forests, Nara’s Great Buddha, and Tokyo’s vibrant districts, with enriching experiences such as a private sumo demonstration and a geisha-hosted evening.
