While the bright neon lights and the bustle of contemporary Tokyo may be what comes to mind when you think of the city, there is another side. Tokyo's historic gardens and neighborhoods of traditional homes on narrow lanes speak to a timeless Japan that has survived into the 21st century. ### Day 2: Shimizu **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM A thriving harbor town for centuries, Shimizu is best known for its incredible scenic beauty.

It very definitely has L.A.’s second-city complex, but its attitude is pure Chicago. The only business that matters is business, and so what if the Hanshin Tigers, the local baseball team, are frequently the worst professional athletes in the world? They’re the home team. People in Osaka laugh louder, play harder and drink more than Tokyo’s most decadent dreams. Osaka even has its own dialect, one the rest of t... ### Day 4: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 5: Hiroshima, Japan **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 11:59 PM Located in the southwest of Japan, Hiroshima, the main city of the Chugoku region, is set within a striking natural landscape of mountains, sea and rivers.

It combines a vibrant, big-city atmosphere with a famously laid-back attitude and subtropical landscapes. Often described as the "San Francisco of Korea," thanks mainly to its hilly terrain and close-knit neighborhoods, it offers visitors a little of everything: fashionable boutiques, dynamic culture and buzzy nightlife, as well as sandy beaches, hot sp... ### Day 8: Sakaiminato, Japan **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Sakaiminato is home to Shigeru Mizuki, creator of GeGeGe no Kitaro (a character who’s everywhere in contemporary Japan), and gateway to the ancient region of Honshu, site of the famous “Black Castle.” ### Day 9: Maizuru **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM ### Day 10: Kanazawa **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Kanazawa is the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture, on Japan’s central Honshu Island.
