Experience Japan as autumn begins to emerge on this 12-day voyage from Tokyo. Depart the city's electric skyline for an overnight stay in Kobe — where you can savour its world-famous beef or wander among nearby Kyoto's spiritual temple gardens. Explore Kochi's original feudal castle before crossing the Korea Strait to Busan. Returning to Japan, follow in the footsteps of samurai and elegant geishas in Kanazawa, before easing north to admire the sweeping views from Mount Hakodate. A final day at sea brings you back to Tokyo, refreshed and enriched by one of the world's most captivating cultures.
