This 15-day Signature Yacht Cruise on board Scenic Eclipse II, your ultra-luxury Scenic Discovery Yacht, charts a rare course around the entire Japanese archipelago. Begin in Osaka and sail west to Matsuyama's legendary hot springs and the shrine town of Hofu, before crossing to Busan in South Korea for a day of coastal temples and vibrant markets. Returning to Japan, the voyage follows the Sea of Japan northward through the remote Oki Islands, a World Heritage-listed Global Geopark, the pine-clad sandbars of Miyazu, and the mountain-framed harbours of Toyama and Niigata. Continue to Akita's samurai heritage before crossing to Hakodate on Hokkaido. The Pacific coast reveals a different rhythm as you call at Sendai, Oarai and Tokyo, then round the Kii Peninsula at Toba before completing the circle in Osaka. Timed to coincide with Japan's iconic cherry blossom season, this is a voyage of extraordinary depth and variety for travellers seeking the full breadth of Japan.
