Explore the island and its neighbors on one of five itineraries that include visits to South Korea and, on some sailings, fireworks festivals.

Sakura to Sushi

Japan has a culture rich in beauty and tradition. The country’s deep spiritual heritage can be seen in the many stunning temples found in remote misty mountains and around heavily trafficked city corners alike. The reverence Japanese people feel for nature is reflected in the country’s exquisite artwork, often celebrating sacred Mt. Fuji or the arrival of sakura, the blossoming of the cherry trees. Architecture shines in examples such as Tokyo’s Imperial Castle and Nagasaki’s Shimabara Castle. And of course, the island nation’s cuisine is celebrated globally — taste at the source such internationally famous culinary creations as sushi, delicately fried tempura and noodles ranging from sublime soba to fashionable ramen, as well as increasingly popular sake.

On to Taiwan The oldest reference to the island of Taiwan dates to the 3rd-century Han Dynasty in China. But it wasn’t until the 17th century that Chinese Hakka traders first settled here, soon followed by Europeans and Asians attempting colonization, and finally by the government of the Republic of China fleeing revolution on the mainland. Today, modern Taiwan is a bustling melting pot of cultures with a thriving economy and fascinating sights ranging from ornate temples to the imposing Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall to one of the world’s tallest buildings — Taipei 101. Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, Taiwan Grand Japan Cruises GRAND JAPAN For a true immersion in the splendors of Japan, few sailings can compare to one of our longer Grand Japan sailings. On these combination voyages, ranging from 14 to 20 days, you’ll call in a large variety of ports in Japan. And on several of the longest itineraries, you’ll have the opportunity to be a part of Japan’s summer festivals, Nebuta festival and summer fireworks.

Tales of the Samurai They are feared and revered even in the West — Japan’s legendary Samurai warriors. From humble beginnings as provincial warriors in medieval Japan to their ascension to power as part of the shogunate feudal system in the 12th century, the samurai carved out a place of lore in the country’s history. Samurai of all periods wore beautifully elaborate armor, and were renowned for their sword skills and the craftsmanship of their katana (swords). The Meiji Restoration and opening of Japan to the West in the mid to late 19th century saw the decline of the influence of the samurai. But today, visitors can tour preserved samurai houses and see reenacted samurai sword battles, experiencing some of the legend for themselves. Traditional samurai warrior sculpture
