PORTS OF CALL

Tokyo (Yokohama), Japan

Your cruise begins and ends in Yokohama, a vibrant port city that serves as the primary maritime gateway to the boundless energy of Tokyo. To treat this as a mere transit point is to miss one of the world's most profound travel experiences. We strongly recommend dedicating at least three to four days before or after your voyage to immerse yourself in the captivating rhythm of Tokyo, a city that masterfully balances its deep-rooted traditions with an unrelenting push toward the future.

**From Port to Metropolis: Getting Your Bearings**

The Port of Yokohama is exceptionally well-connected. A short walk or taxi ride from the cruise terminal brings you to multiple train stations, where frequent and efficient services can whisk you into the heart of Tokyo in about 30-45 minutes. Navigating the system is straightforward, with English signage and helpful station staff. Securing a Suica or Pasmo card (a rechargeable IC card) upon arrival simplifies travel on virtually all trains and subways, allowing you to tap and go with ease.

**A Suggested Framework for Exploration**

Tokyo is not a city to be seen in a single day; it's a collection of distinct cities, each with its own character. Structuring your time by neighborhood is the most effective approach.

**Day 1: The Imperial Past and Ginza's Gleam**

Begin your exploration near Tokyo Station, a landmark in itself. From here, it’s a pleasant walk to the Imperial Palace East Garden, the former site of Edo Castle. The grounds offer a serene escape, with manicured lawns, ancient stone walls, and historic guardhouses providing a stark contrast to the surrounding skyscrapers. Afterward, stroll to the nearby Ginza district. While known for its flagship luxury stores, Ginza’s true treasures are often found in its art galleries and the spectacular basement food halls (*depachika*) of its department stores, like Mitsukoshi or Matsuya. These are culinary showcases, offering everything from exquisite bento boxes to delicate pastries, perfect for a high-quality, accessible lunch.

In the evening, travel to Shinjuku. For a panoramic view of the city's sprawl, bypass the paid towers and head to the free observation decks of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. As dusk settles, the city transforms into a sea of light. Later, explore the narrow, lantern-lit alleyways of Omoide Yokocho (“Memory Lane”) for rustic yakitori and a glimpse into post-war Tokyo, or the tiny, atmospheric bars of Golden Gai.

**Day 2: Sacred Traditions and Electric Dreams**

Start your day in Asakusa, the heart of old Tokyo. Approach the magnificent Sensō-ji Temple, the city’s oldest, through the Nakamise-dori, a bustling market street lined with traditional snacks and souvenirs. The energy here is palpable, a living connection to centuries of history. For a different perspective, consider a short Sumida River cruise from Asakusa Pier, offering unique views of the city skyline and landmarks like the Tokyo Skytree.

In the afternoon, make your way to Ueno Park, a vast cultural hub. It’s home to some of Japan's most important museums, including the Tokyo National Museum, which holds the world's largest collection of Japanese art. For a more raucous, local experience, dive into the Ameya Yokocho market just outside the park, a whirlwind of vendors selling everything from fresh fish to discount sneakers.

As evening approaches, immerse yourself in the sensory overload of Akihabara. Known as “Electric Town,” it’s the epicenter of anime, manga, and gaming culture. Even if you’re not a fan, witnessing the towering buildings plastered with colorful characters and the sheer energy of the place is a cultural experience in itself.

**Day 3: Serenity, Style, and the Scramble**

Begin your morning with a visit to Meiji Jingu, a shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. A walk through the dense forest that insulates the shrine from the city's noise is a deeply peaceful and restorative experience. The tranquility of the shrine provides a perfect counterpoint to your next stop: the adjacent Harajuku district. Walk down Takeshita Street to witness the vibrant, ever-changing street style of Tokyo’s youth, then explore the more sophisticated boutiques of nearby Omotesandō.

From there, it’s a short walk or one train stop to Shibuya, home to the world’s most famous intersection. Find a spot in a second-floor café (the Starbucks is a popular choice) and watch the mesmerizing, organized chaos of the Shibuya Crossing. After dark, the intersection, illuminated by giant video screens, is an unforgettable sight. Shibuya also offers an enormous range of dining and shopping options to explore.

**Don't Overlook Yokohama**

Before departing, take time to appreciate Yokohama itself. The Minato Mirai 21 waterfront is a stunning example of modern urban design, featuring the Landmark Tower, museums, and pleasant seaside parks. Explore Japan's largest Chinatown for a lively atmosphere and countless culinary delights, or wander through the historic Yamate district with its preserved Western-style homes from the late 19th century. A pre-cruise stay here allows for a more relaxed start to your journey, with the full intensity of Tokyo just a short train ride away.

Shimizu (Mt. Fuji), Japan

Shimizu serves as the celebrated gateway to Japan's most iconic landmark, Mount Fuji. It is essential to set expectations: the mountain's majestic volcanic cone is famously shy, often veiled in clouds, especially outside of the crisp autumn and winter months. When the weather cooperates, the views are genuinely breathtaking. For one of the most classic perspectives, travel to the Miho no Matsubara, a UNESCO-listed pine grove where dark green trees and the blue sea frame Fuji in a scene immortalized by ukiyo-e woodblock artists. Another excellent option is the Nihondaira Plateau, often reached by ropeway, which offers sweeping panoramas of the mountain, Suruga Bay, and the Izu Peninsula.

Should Fuji remain hidden, the region still offers rich cultural experiences. Shizuoka Prefecture is the heart of Japan's green tea production; a visit to a local plantation provides insight into this revered tradition, from leaf to cup. Nearby Shizuoka City is home to Sunpu Castle Park, the former stronghold of the powerful shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. While the main keep is a reconstruction, the grounds and moats evoke a strong sense of feudal history. For those seeking a more relaxed day, the area immediately around the port has the S-Pulse Dream Plaza, a modern complex with shops, a Ferris wheel, and a small, enjoyable sushi museum. The true reward of a day in Shimizu is that unforgettable glimpse of Fuji-san, but the area's deep connection to history and nature provides a worthy journey in its own right.

Kobe, Japan

Kobe is a sophisticated port city that offers a compelling blend of culinary excellence, unique history, and modern resilience, all framed between the Rokko Mountains and the sea. While its name is synonymous with the world-renowned marbled beef—an essential culinary experience, often best enjoyed at a teppanyaki restaurant—the city's character runs much deeper.

A short journey from the port leads to the Nada district, one of Japan's most famous sake-producing regions. Here, you can explore traditional breweries like the Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum to learn about the brewing process and enjoy tastings. This provides an authentic taste of a craft perfected over centuries.

For a glimpse into Kobe's international past, a walk through the Kitano-cho district is essential. This hillside neighborhood preserves the elegant 19th-century mansions of the foreign merchants and diplomats who settled here when Kobe opened to the West. The architecture offers a fascinating contrast to traditional Japanese design.

Down at the waterfront, Meriken Park showcases the city's modern face with its iconic red Port Tower and the striking Maritime Museum. The park is also home to the sobering Kobe Earthquake Memorial Park, which preserves a small section of the damaged waterfront as a poignant reminder of the 1995 disaster and the city's remarkable recovery. Kobe is compact and easily explored, offering a rich, manageable, and genuinely rewarding day in port.

Kyoto (Osaka), Japan

Docking in Osaka presents a magnificent choice: immerse yourself in the vibrant, modern energy of one of Japan's great culinary cities, or journey to the nation's former imperial capital, Kyoto. It is essential to understand that Kyoto is not adjacent to the port; reaching its historic heart requires a train journey of approximately 60-90 minutes, making time management the most critical part of your day.

A single day in Kyoto can only scratch the surface of its immense cultural wealth, so a focused plan is paramount. To see the most iconic sites, prioritize the shimmering Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) and the seemingly endless corridor of red torii gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine. This ambitious route will be rewarding but fast-paced. For a more contemplative experience, consider dedicating your time to the Arashiyama district on Kyoto's western edge, where you can walk through the famed Bamboo Grove and visit the serene Tenryu-ji Temple and its exquisite garden. Alternatively, explore the historic Gion district, the center of geisha culture, and walk the preserved streets of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka leading up to the grand Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

Do not overlook the merits of staying in Osaka. This city is a destination in its own right, famous for its incredible food scene and dynamic atmosphere. Explore the formidable Osaka Castle, a grand reconstruction of a historic landmark, and then dive into the neon-lit chaos and culinary delights of the Dotonbori district. Here, street food stalls and restaurants serve up local specialties like takoyaki and okonomiyaki. Osaka offers a powerful, modern contrast to Kyoto's preserved traditions and is a far more logistically simple day.

We recommend choosing one city and dedicating your day to it. Attempting to see highlights of both will result in a frantic day spent mostly in transit. Whether you seek the ancient tranquility of Kyoto or the modern pulse of Osaka, a well-planned day will deliver an unforgettable Japanese experience.

Kochi, Japan

Kochi offers a refreshingly authentic glimpse into regional Japan, far from the bustle of the country's megacities. Located on the southern coast of Shikoku island, the city is compact, friendly, and easily explored in a day.

The undisputed highlight is Kochi Castle, one of only twelve original castles remaining in Japan. Its wooden keep and preserved palace offer a rare look into the nation's feudal past. The climb to the top rewards with panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains.

A short walk from the castle is the city's lively culinary heart: Hirome Market. This bustling indoor hall is where locals gather to eat, drink, and socialize. It’s the best place to try the regional specialty, *katsuo no tataki*—bonito seared over a straw fire and served with garlic and citrus. Grab a seat at one of the communal tables for a truly local experience.

For a change of scenery, a bus or taxi ride leads to the picturesque Katsurahama Beach. While not for swimming due to strong currents, its pine-fringed shore and famous statue of samurai visionary Sakamoto Ryoma make it a worthwhile excursion. Kochi provides a manageable and rewarding day focused on genuine history and exceptional local food.

At Sea - Cruising

Busan, South Korea

Busan reveals itself as a city of compelling contrasts, where serene mountain temples overlook a bustling, modern port. It’s a destination that offers a genuine cross-section of contemporary South Korea, balancing deep-rooted tradition with forward-looking energy.

For a profound sense of history, visit Beomeo-sa Temple, a sprawling complex founded in the 7th century that offers a peaceful retreat from the city's pace. Alternatively, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple presents a dramatic scene, uniquely built into the coastal cliffs overlooking the sea—a rare and beautiful setting for a Buddhist temple.

To experience the city's vibrant daily life, immerse yourself in the Jagalchi Fish Market. It is an exhilarating sensory experience where you can witness the local seafood trade and even sample the fresh catch at an upstairs restaurant. Nearby, the sprawling Gukje Market offers everything from traditional goods to modern fashion, reflecting the city's long history as a center of commerce.

A short journey away, the Gamcheon Culture Village is a highlight. Once a hillside slum, it has been transformed into a living art installation, with brightly colored houses, narrow winding alleys, and whimsical sculptures creating a truly unique and photogenic landscape. For a glimpse of modern Busan, Haeundae Beach is a wide stretch of sand backed by a gleaming skyline. While it's a bustling urban beach, it provides a pleasant place to observe contemporary Korean leisure. Busan offers a rich, accessible slice of culture that more than fills a day in port.

Hakodate, Japan

Hakodate, a key port on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, offers a refreshingly different perspective from the country's larger metropolises. Its history as one of the first Japanese ports opened to international trade has left a lasting mark, creating a charming blend of Japanese and Western influences that is easily explored in a day.

The city's most famous attraction is the view from Mount Hakodate. A quick ropeway ride reveals a stunning panorama of the unique isthmus geography connecting the mountain to the city. While renowned for its nighttime sparkle, the daytime view is equally breathtaking and more accessible for visitors on a port call. Back at sea level, the Hakodate Morning Market (Asaichi) is an essential stop. This bustling market is a feast for the senses, with vendors selling impossibly fresh seafood. Indulge in a local specialty, *kaisendon*—a bowl of rice topped with freshly caught sea urchin, crab, and squid.

A short tram ride away, the Motomachi district showcases the city's international past. Stroll up sloping streets lined with 19th-century churches, consulates, and public halls, offering a glimpse into the Meiji era. For a different slice of history, visit Fort Goryokaku, a massive, star-shaped citadel. To fully appreciate its impressive geometric design, ascend the adjacent Goryokaku Tower. The fort's grounds are particularly beautiful during the late spring cherry blossom season.

With its compact layout connected by an efficient streetcar system, Hakodate provides a manageable and deeply rewarding day of exploration, combining dramatic landscapes, exceptional culinary experiences, and a distinct historical character.

Aomori, Japan

Aomori offers a refreshing and authentic glimpse into the culture of northern Japan, a world away from the bustle of Tokyo and Kyoto. The port itself is remarkably convenient, placing you within walking distance of several key attractions. The absolute highlight is the Nebuta Museum WA RASSE, which brilliantly captures the spirit of the city’s famous summer festival. Inside, you can stand in awe of the massive, intricate, and vividly colored lantern floats that parade through the streets each August. The sheer scale and artistry are captivating year-round.

Adjacent to the museum, the A-Factory is a stylish market and cidery dedicated to Aomori's most famous product: apples. Here you can sample and purchase a variety of ciders, juices, and apple-based pastries. For a taste of local history, the nearby Seikan Ferry Memorial Ship Hakkoda-maru allows you to explore the historic vessel that once connected Honshu with the island of Hokkaido.

A short taxi ride away lie two significant cultural sites. The Sannai-Maruyama Site, a UNESCO World Heritage location, is a fascinating reconstruction of a large settlement from the prehistoric Jōmon period, offering a deep dive into Japan's ancient past. For contemporary art enthusiasts, the Aomori Museum of Art is essential, primarily for its minimalist architecture and iconic, large-scale "Aomori-Ken" (Aomori Dog) sculpture by Yoshitomo Nara.

For those willing to dedicate their entire day to nature, excursions venture into the dramatic landscapes of the Hakkōda Mountains and the Oirase Gorge, renowned for their lush summer greens and spectacular autumn foliage. These trips require a significant time commitment but reward with some of Japan's most beautiful scenery.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
Your parent or child requires hospitalization
You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
Ongoing medical monitoring
Payment guarantee
Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

Missed connecting flights
Lost/stolen travel documents
Pre-trip information
Prescription replacements
