Nagoya, Japan
It may lack the name recognition of Tokyo and Osaka, but cosmopolitan Nagoya impresses with an array of museums, temples and green spaces. In this birthplace of Toyota absorb the ancient spirituality of Atsuta Shrine, one of Japan’s three most important Shinto shrines and a perfect spot to enjoy a lunch of kishimen (flat noodles), a local specialty. Immerse yourself in over 10,000 pieces of Japanese art, theater, fashion, samurai culture and more at Tokugawa Art Museum. Gain an instant appreciation for Japanese postwar history at SCMAGLEV and Railway Park, a fully hands-on museum featuring actual trains and simulators. Your inner train-loving-child will approve.

Osaka, Japan
This charming city serves up amazing cuisine, superb shopping and a friendly spirit, with the restored Osaka Castle offering a spectacular lesson in Japanese history and culture. Osaka's nickname – Tenka no Daidokoro (The Nation's Kitchen) – originally referred to its Edo Period status as Japan's rice-trade hub; today it refers to the city’s reputation as a gourmand's paradise. Take in a 360-degree view from Abeno Harukas – Japan’s tallest skyscraper – before visiting the city’s spectacular aquarium and through Dotonbori, Osaka’s glittering heart. The immensely historical city of Kyoto is within reach, beckoning with spectacular architecture that includes thousands of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines.

Okinawa (Naha), Japan
From the ancient and cosmopolitan port city of Naha, discover the rich cultural history and unique traditions of Okinawa. Begin at the colorful Shuri Castle before taking in the tranquil beauty of Shikinaen Gardens, constructed in 1799 as a villa for the royal family. Shop for distinctive Tsuboya-yaki pottery, Ryukyuan glass and lacquer ware in the Tsuboya District. Stroll the shops, galleries, markets, restaurants and arcades of the vibrant Kokusai Dori in central Naha. Stop for a bowl of soba noodles or tempura before enjoying a cup of sanpincha (jasmine tea) with a sata andagi (fried donut seasoned with black cane sugar).

Ishigaki (Sakishima Islands), Japan
Packed with picture-perfect beaches that offer world-class diving, snorkeling and surfside bliss, Ishigaki is the gateway to the Yaeyama archipelago, the southernmost and westernmost inhabited islands of Japan. Admire the colorful fish and flourishing coral reefs of Kabira Bay aboard a glass-bottom boat before enjoying panoramic island views from the Tamatorizaki observatory or Hirakubozaki Lighthouse. The islands of Taketomi, Kuroshima and Kohama make for fantastic day-trip destinations, all of which can be explored by bicycle within a few hours. Listen to folk songs accompanied by the sanshin, a banjo-like instrument made of snakeskin, and see artisans crafting styles of pottery that are unique to each island.

Taipei (Keelung), Taiwan
From the booming seaport town of Keelung, head west to one of East Asia’s most intriguing cities. Mixing Chinese, Japanese and Western influences, Taipai features architectural landmarks like the nearly 1,700-foot-tall Taipei 101 – built to resemble a gigantic bamboo stalk – and cultural wonders like the 18th-century Longshan Temple and prestigious National Palace Museum. Among Taipei’s culinary delights are Taiwanese 'small eats' called xiaochi and the city’s famed beef noodle soup, best enjoyed with a cold Taiwan beer. Travel north from Keelung to Yeliu Geopark, a popular promontory full of eroded rock formations with names like Queen’s Head and Elephant Rock.

Kaohsiung, Taiwan
This thriving port city along Taiwan’s southwest coast is nicknamed the ‘Harbor Capital’ due to its commercial prowess, but Kaohsiung exudes a pleasing, laid-back vibe. Along the perimeter of Lotus Pond, walk past colorful temples and a pair of flamboyant pagodas that are fronted by giant dragon and tiger statues. (For luck’s sake, enter through the dragon's mouth and exit through the tiger's jaws.) Enjoy local Chinese specialties and the best Japanese food outside Japan, plus desserts made from locally grown Cishan bananas. Take a short ferry ride to Cijin (Qijin) Island to walk its black-sand beaches and dine on Kaohsiung’s freshest seafood.

Hong Kong, China
From an iconic skyline overlooking a glorious harbor to lush green mountains and sprawling parks, Hong Kong has all you could want (and more) in a world-class city. Gain a deeper understanding of Hong Kong’s culture and history at Man Mo Temple, ride the world’s steepest funicular to Victoria Peak and cruise through a fishing village by sampan. Escape the urban bustle with a walk along the soft, golden sands of Repulse Bay. Dive into classic favorites like dai pai dong (street-food stalls) and yum cha (tea and dim sum) after conquering a dizzying assortment of shopping venues in this commercial hub of Asia.

Hanoi (Ha Long Bay), Vietnam
Vietnam’s capital city is a gateway to Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Southeast Asia’s most stunning sights. Thousands of dolomite and limestone islets topped by forest rise dramatically from the bay’s waters, presenting a stirring tableau of grottoes, caves, rock arches and peaceful coves. Gain a phenomenal perspective of this one-of-a-kind land- and waterscape from the decks of a wooden junk, or perhaps kayak these celebrated waters. Experience Hanoi’s beguiling blend of French and Asian cultures in its Old Quarter and learn its history at the Vietnam Military History Museum, Temple of Literature and H? Chí Minh Museum.

Nha Trang, Vietnam
By far Vietnam’s most popular seaside resort town, Nha Trang offers more than a turquoise bay ringed by a nearly four mile arc of golden sand and a lively promenade. Visit the impressive brick structures of the Po Nagar Cham Towers, built by the Cham civilization between the 7th and 12th centuries. Take in the nearly 80-foot-tall white Buddha of Long Son Pagoda and spectacular surroundings of Hai Duc Pagoda. Snap photos of grass-eating buffalo and terraced rice fields on a drive to villages that dot the countryside around Nha Trang. Or simply relax at a beachside bar with a coconut cocktail.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Sitting on a giant bend in the Sài Gon River, the quintessentially cosmopolitan Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) boasts glistening skyscrapers, bustling food markets and magnificent French-Colonial buildings. Gain important perspectives of Vietnam’s 20th-century war history at the War Remnants Museum and tunnels of C? Chi. Admire the grandeur of the 19th-century Notre Dame Cathedral, HCMC’s iconic symbol, and nearby Central Post Office. Get a local's view of the frenetic city center while zipping through alleyways on a motorbike. Embrace the spirituality of the Jade Emperor Pagoda and 1960s architecture of the Reunification Palace, stopping to savor Vietnamese street food like pho (noodle soup) or savory crepes.

Singapore, Singapore
This island nation at the end of the Malaysian peninsula offers an extraordinary array of culture, history and cuisine. Embrace exotic sights and sounds strolling through Chinatown, the Arab Quarter or Little India. Head to the Boat Quay for unrivaled views of the harbor before dining at one of many international eateries. Shop along Orchard Road for treasures from every corner of the Pacific Rim; embark on a night safari at the Singapore Zoo or relax in the verdant shade of the Bukit Timah Nature Preserve. Wander the wondrously futuristic Gardens By the Bay before relaxing with a refreshing Singapore Sling at the iconic Raffles Hotel.

Bangkok (Laem Chabang), Thailand
From the port city of Laem Chabang, discover the contrasting charms of Krung Thep (City of Angels) amongst the exotic temples, lavish palaces, teeming markets and urban skyline of Bangkok. Once a small trading center, Thailand’s capital city thrums equally on vendors selling legendary street food, graceful Thai architecture and saffron-robed monks. Ride a ubiquitous tuk-tuk to Wat Pho, home to an immense, reclining, gold-plated Buddha. See floating grocery stores and teakwood houses built on stilts on a boat tour along the Chao Phaya River. After shopping for Thai silk and jewelry, dine on classic Bangkok dishes like pad Thai, Khao mun gai and mango sticky rice.
