Japan Intensive Voyage from Hong Kong

Pricing is based on departure date 07th March 2024

Emabarkation from Hong Kong 

Overnight: More time with an overnight Osaka

Welcome to The Land of The Rising Sun

Equal parts futuristic and frozen in time, Japan blends the old and new with ease. But before arriving in Japan, you’ll depart from Hong Kong, China, to spend a day at sea before exploring the historical city of Taipei on a late-night stay. 

From here, it’s off to Ishigaki, a Japanese island that is truly a tropical hidden gem. Think white sand beaches, coral reefs, swaying palms and drooping mangroves. A late stay in Okinawa  is next, where you can visit sacred Seifa Utaki, Okinawa's most important prayer site — before visiting Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Park and Museum.

After a relaxing day sailing aboard your boutique hotel at sea we arrive in Kagoshima for another late-night stay. The dominant image on Kagoshima’s horizon is Sakurajima, the overactive volcano whose frequent dustings of ash bring out the umbrellas as if they were spring showers. Kagoshima is also famous for it's Wagyu beef.

Next, you’ll visit Miyazaki, where you can sample Kuro Kirishima, the city’s famous shochu—a  spirit distilled from sweet potatoes.

Kochi, home of the beautiful Kochi castle, is next on the itinerary, followed by an overnight stay in the spirited city of Osaka. When the sun goes down here, the city is illuminated in a sea of dazzling neon. And with the unofficial slogan of kuidaore (eat until you drop), this is definitely a foodie paradise, where you’ll have a chance to enjoy a delicious Kobe beef dinner. Make sure to hop on the Shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto, to make your way to Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and the Golden Pavilion. Following a final day at sea, your voyage concludes in diverse and distinct Tokyo, where infinite possibilities await those seeking more adventures.
