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: Shimizu **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM Mount Fuji, Japan’s tallest peak, overlooks this beautiful port town at the Northern end of the Izu Peninsula. One of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains,” Mount Fuji is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a Special Place of Scenic Beauty, and is one of Japan’s official Historic Sites. Shimizu’s mild climate makes it perfect for exploring nature, like Miho-no-Matsubara, four miles of pine grove on the town’s seashore. ### Day 3: Nagoya **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM ### Day 4: Osaka **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Osaka is a large port city and commercial center on the Japanese island of Honshu. It's known for its modern architecture, nightlife and hearty street food. The 16th-century shogunate Osaka Castle, which has undergone several restorations, is its main historical landmark. It's surrounded by a moat and park with plum, peach and cherry-blossom trees. Sumiyoshi-taisha is among Japan’s oldest Shinto shrines. ### Day 5: Osaka **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Osaka is a large port city and commercial center on the Japanese island of Honshu. It's known for its modern architecture, nightlife and hearty street food. The 16th-century shogunate Osaka Castle, which has undergone several restorations, is its main historical landmark. It's surrounded by a moat and park with plum, peach and cherry-blossom trees. Sumiyoshi-taisha is among Japan’s oldest Shinto shrines. ### Day 6: Hiroshima **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM 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 7: Kitakyushu **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM 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 8: Busan **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 10:00 PM 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 9: Sakaiminato **Arrives:** 01:30 PM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM Sakaiminato’s history is steeped in fishing tradition. Now the base of Western Japan’s fishing industry, Sakaiminato has been an open trading port with the U.S. and U.K. since 1899. Today the port town continues to be a haven for seafood lovers with fish markets and world-class restaurants scattered along its streets, making it the perfect place for visitors to taste the catch of the day. ### Day 10: Kanazawa **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Tucked in between the Sea of Japan and the Japanese Alps, flanked by the Sai and Asano rivers, Kanazawa might be an unfamiliar destination, but it’s sure to become an unexpected favorite. Translated literally Kanazawa means "marsh of gold," and the city produces approximately 98% of the gold leaf in Japan. Find a small jar to take home or try it sprinkled on ice cream. Gold aside, Kanazawa is also a jewel in Japan’s historical crown. Founded in the late 1500s as a castle town, the city has been ... ### Day 11: Niigata, Japan **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM A perfect contrast of old and new, where ancient traditions meet modern experiences—you’ll find Niigata prefecture, the largest city on Honshū's Sea of Japan coast. Start your journey with a relaxing stroll through Niigata’s first citizen park, Hakusan-kōen. Well-manicured gardens, two large koi ponds, the most vibrant cherry blossoms, and the ancient Hukasan Shrine. An inviting space—you’ll find no reason to be “koi” here. Make your way to the bustling Bandai City where you can catch a 360-d... ### Day 12: Akita **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Akita Prefecture is situated in the north-eastern part of the Japanese main land, east of the Sea of Japan, flowing rivers, and expanses of fertile farmland. Majestic mountain ranges, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Shirakami - Sanchi Mountains, surround the northern, southern, and eastern sides and make for incredible views. ### Day 13: Aomori **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM Found on Japan’s main island, Honshu, Aomori City spends most of the year offering visitors a taste of a sleepy, seaside city mixed with forward-looking developments and modern art. Combining the history of an established port town with modern facilities and attractions, the city has been called the economic and cultural center of the area. ### Day 14: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 15: Tokyo (Yokohama) **Arrives:** 06:00 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 | $5,389 | | Ocean View | $6,199 | | Balcony | $7,329 | | Suite | $9,989 | ## Cabin Options ### Inside Cabins **Guarantee - Inside** (Code: Z) — From $10,778 Guarantee - Inside ### Outside Cabins **Guarantee - Oceanview** (Code: Y) — From $12,398 Guarantee - Oceanview ### Balcony Cabins **Guarantee - Veranda** (Code: X) — From $14,658 Guarantee - Veranda **Club Veranda Plus Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: XP) — From $16,118 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) — From $19,978 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.
