An archipelago of 14,000 islands, Japan is intimately linked with the waters that surround it, from the seafood in the cuisine to the historic fishing villages that dot its shores. A cruise lets you explore this ancient relationship between culture and sea from the best vantage point 鈥� on the water.
From the sunny shores of Nagasaki to the mountainous city of Hakodate, our specialists have been on these voyages and will help unpack all your options. You might choose to sip sake in the rural town of Sakata, where the streets are lined with Edo-era samurai residences, or you could sample the catch of day in the tiny fishing village of Sakaiminato.
