Tokyo is now the largest metropolitan area in the world, an exciting city with a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, restaurants, museums, temples, and gardens to visit. ### Day 2: Tokyo (Yokohama) **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:30 PM It’s hard to imagine Tokyo as a tiny fishing village named Edo.

Fuji is an active volcano about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. Commonly called “Fuji-san,” it’s the country’s tallest peak, at 3,776 meters. A pilgrimage site for centuries, it’s considered one of Japan’s 3 sacred mountains, and summit hikes remain a popular activity. Its iconic profile is the subject of numerous works of art, notably Edo Period prints by Hokusai and Hiroshige. ### Day 4: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 5: Hiroshima **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM This "city of water and peace" is built in one of the most sheltered harbors on the Seto Inland Sea and is much more than the painful past it both honors and defies. Reflect and ring the bell of peace at Peace Memorial Park, then ferry to the holy island of Miyajima, famed for its Itsukushima Shrine and floating torii. ### Day 6: Beppu, japan **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 7: Busan **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM It is Pusan's premier trading port, adjacent to the Korean Straits and Japan, that makes it an international metropolis but its beautiful sea vistas that make it a charming place to unwind. Experience the serenity of Beomeo-sa Temple, climb the Busan Tower in Yongdusan Park and rejuvenate at Hushimchung Spa. ### Day 8: Kitakyushu **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Merged from five smaller cities in 1963, Kitakyushu is the gateway between the islands of Honshu and Kyushu—where the city sits on its northern tip. During WWII, the fate of the city could have been forever changed, if not for bad weather and smoke from the previous day’s bombing. It was the intended target of the Fat Man atomic bomb, but was passed over due to poor visibility in favor of Nagasaki. ### Day 9: Kochi, Japan **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Kochi Prefecture, on Japan’s Shikoku Island, is a largely rural area known for its mountains, rivers and Pacific beaches. Capital Kochi City has one of Japan’s best preserved feudal castles, Kochi-jo, established in the 1600s. The city's centuries-old Sunday market has hundreds of vendors selling food and other wares. Summer's Yosakoi Matsuri is a festival in which colorfully attired dance teams fill the streets. ### Day 10: Kobe, Japan **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Famous for the beef that bears it name, Kobe is headquarters for numerous Japanese and international firms, and has long been an important port. It is also a short bullet train ride from Kyoto, ancient capital of Japan from the 8th to the 19th century. Here vestiges of the past are easier to find than in many of Japan's modern, high-tech cities: countless temples and shrines, the palaces and castles of shoguns and emperors, and narrow lanes paved in stone and lined with wooden buildings housi... ### Day 11: Kobe, Japan **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Famous for the beef that bears it name, Kobe is headquarters for numerous Japanese and international firms, and has long been an important port.

Reflect and ring the bell of peace at Peace Memorial Park, then ferry to the holy island of Miyajima, famed for its Itsukushima Shrine and floating torii. ### Day 13: Yeosu **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Warm oceanic climate. Island dotted coast. Brilliant night lights. Nestled between verdant mountains, Yeosu has small town charm with big city potential. This hidden gem on the southern coast of South Korea is on the verge of becoming a world-class vacation destination. ### Day 14: Nagasaki **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Historically rich Nagasaki features beautiful seaside scenery and fabulous nighttime views from its mountain slopes. Secluded hot springs, fascinating museums, and ornate temples live side by side in this exciting city. Ten natural parks grace the area, and unique festivals can be experienced throughout the year. Walk through streets influenced by both Chinese and European cultures in fascinating Nagasaki. ### Day 15: Kagoshima **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Discover the natural beauty of seaside Kagoshima, a city surrounded by beautiful mountain backdrops and dozens of local hot springs. While nearly all visitors make their way to see the volcanic heights of Mt. Sakurajima, attractions such as the historic village of Chiran and the Kagoshima Botanical Garden prove equally compelling places to stop and take a deep breath. ### Day 16: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 17: Takamatsu **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM On the Seto Inland Sea, looking out over the Sanuki mountain range, sits the island of Shikoku and the old castle town of Takamatsu, Japan. Now a vibrant city, Takamatsu has been an economic hub of the region since the Edo period. To get a sense of its history, visit Tamamo-koen Park. The 16th century Takamatsu Castle had been destroyed, but there’s still plenty to explore: ruins, water moats, and classic Japanese-style yagura or turrets. ### Day 18: Nagoya **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 19: Tokyo (Yokohama) **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM It’s hard to imagine Tokyo as a tiny fishing village named Edo. Tokyo is now the largest metropolitan area in the world, an exciting city with a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, restaurants, museums, temples, and gardens to visit. ## Pricing Prices shown are per person based on double occupancy in USD. | Cabin Type | Starting Price | |------------|----------------| | Inside | $5,910 | | Ocean View | $6,600 | | Balcony | $7,030 | | Suite | $11,360 | ## Cabin Options ### Inside Cabins **Guarantee - Inside** (Code: Z) Guarantee - Inside ### Outside Cabins **Guarantee - Oceanview** (Code: Y) Guarantee - Oceanview ### Balcony Cabins **Guarantee - Veranda** (Code: X) Guarantee - Veranda **Club Veranda Plus Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: XP) Stateroom Features Veranda Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Sitting area with 40” flat-screen TV Mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB ports under bedside reading lamps Stateroom: 175 sq.... ### Suite Cabins **Guarantee - Suite** (Code: W) Guarantee - Suite ## Ship Information ### Azamara Pursuit The launch of Azamara PursuitSM in 2018 opened the seas to maiden ports, new itineraries, and the opportunity to provide our guests with even more unforgettable, unique, and immersive experiences than ever before.
