Description

The Island Nation of Japan is wonderfully suited for exploration by small ship. During an eight-night cruise through the Inland Sea (and across the Sea of Japan to South Korea) aboard the 114-passenger Caledonian Sky, explore the major cosmopolitan cities of Kyoto and Tokyo and venture beyond to a fascinating variety of tranquil historic towns, artistic centers, and remote islands.

Experience dramatic coastlines, sacred temples, celebrated gardens, and cutting-edge architecture. Meet and interact with the owner of a traditional geisha house and an artisan ceramicist. Take part in the tea ceremony, enjoy an electrifying private performance by the world-class Kodo Drummers, and travel on Japan’s high-speed rail (the shinkansen, or “bullet train”).

Along the way, a stellar lecture team will enhance your experience at each destination. An optional post-trip extension to Kamakura and the hot springs resort of Hakone is also available.
