Day 7: Miyazaki, Japan
A seaside resort town that enjoys more sunshine than any other Japanese city, Miyazaki is the capital of the prefecture of the same name. Those who love sand and surf appreciate the miles of coastline and mild climate that create excellent beachgoing and surfing conditions almost year-round. If you prefer the mountains, verdant ranges rise inland, where you might plan a day trip to the hot springs of Kirishima, the gorge of Takachiho or the Aya Teruha pedestrian bridge suspended nearly 500 feet above a forested valley. Natural wonders are also found closer to the city in the unique geology of peaceful Aoshima Island and in shrines to ancient gods tucked in seaside caves and scenic parklands. The city proper has fascinating museums and abundant shopping opportunities. Or visit a distillery to learn the process of making shochu, a popular Japanese spirit distilled from many different sources, such as sweet potatoes, rice or barley.
Days 8 and 9: Osaka, Japan
Prior to the 8th century Nara period, the capital of Japan moved with each new emperor, and Osaka was one of those earliest capitals, then known as Naniwa. During the Edo period, Osaka grew into a commercial center of the rice trade and became known as “the nation’s kitchen,” a moniker now applied because of the city’s reputation for cuisine so good that, as the saying goes, people go broke buying it. A vibrant arts culture also developed in the 17th century, including the famous kabuki and bunraku theaters that can still be seen today. Devastated during World War II, Osaka reemerged as a maze of bridges and skyscrapers flanking a moated castle that stands in the city center as a reminder of a regal past. The skyline gains further allure from the illumination of several Ferris wheels, unique status symbols of modern Japanese cities.
Day 10: Nagoya, Japan
A center of modern commerce, yet steeped in ancient history; visit the castle in the center of town, its golden orca statues are a symbol of the city. Explore Toyota's Museum of Technology and tour the Noritake factory, where bargains on the fine china can be found.
Day 11: Tokyo, Japan
Dazzling cityscapes await your exploration; visit Asakusa for the bright lights, street fairs and Senso-ji Temple; the Tsukiji Market, the largest open-air fish market in the world with on-the-spot sushi; and the Imperial Palace's East Garden for some calm. Spend the evening in the bright, active Ginza District, where the night comes alive.
Day 12: Tokyo, Japan
Disembark ship at 8:00am.
