Journey overview

Sail from Tokyo’s bright spirit to Shimizu for spectacular views of Mount Fuji as it towers over tranquil bays. Cross the sea to Busan’s lively streets and coastal energy before Kanazawa greets you with gardens shaped by centuries. Akita’s rural grace yields to Aomori’s northern light, deep history and striking landscapes. Your journey comes full circle among Tokyo’s vivid rhythms and timeless traditions.
