Discover the beauty of Japan in two unforgettable chapters: a two-night stay in Tokyo with a tour of Mount Fuji followed by a 14-night voyage on board Noordam.

The journey begins in Tokyo, a city where centuries-old shrines stand street-to-street with neon-lit modern marvels. Travel to Mount Fuji by bullet train for a tour of the iconic mountain before setting sail on board Noordam to explore Japan’s coastline. In Osaka, a night in port offers time to explore the ancient monuments of nearby Kyoto before the shores of South Korea and Busan’s vivid cultural heritage beckon.

Returning to Japan through the iconic Kanmon Strait, you’ll encounter traditional seaside towns, haunting visions of Japan’s wartime history, and extraordinary stretches of volcanic coastline. From the relics of Hiroshima to the gilded splendour of Nagoya, it’s a voyage filled with discovery and wonder.
