Discover traditional Japan, forged by millennia of traditions, where nature and the sacred become one. Among the trade winds, the dreamlike landscapes of lush green hills, mystical mountains and ancestral temples nestling in preserved nature will fill you with wonder. Toba, Shingu, Himeji, Miyajima… the historic cities reveal their imperial secrets throughout the different ports of call, while Zen gardens and peaceful temples celebrate Shinto heritage. This journey into the heart of the Japanese soul will also immerse you in the moving history of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, which are now some of Japan’s most relaxed and fascinating destinations.
Beginning in Busan, South Korea, your 12 night journey weaves a magical journey of discovery with a new port of call every day. Highlights include the Ground Zero and atomic bomb museum in Nagasaki, Karatsu Castle, the Udo-Jingu shrine, volcanic hot springs, Itsukushima Shrine, Hiroshima and more.
