Made up of 6,852 islands, the perfect way to explore Japan`s seldom visited destinations is by sea and Heritage Adventurer is the ideal vessel for such a voyage. Combining a thrilling mix of culture, history and the natural world this authentic expedition cruise will see you exploring ancient castles, serenely beautiful gardens and opulent temples and shrines combined with witnessing some of Japan`s stunning natural landscapes.

Experience all-inclusive luxury cruise travel as you venture to destinations such as the historic and serene castle town of Matsue, the ancient anachronistic town of Hagi, and experience the tranquillity of Yakushima Island, a world away from the hustle and bustle of Japan`s mega cities with its towering mountains and ancient forest. We`ll also moor at Uwajima, one of Japan`s premier pearl producers with the opportunity to visit one of the city`s traditional pearl farms.

Among the many highlights of this itinerary will be the iconic garden of Kenroku-en and one of Japan`s most famed gardens the 28-acre formal 17th Century Koraku-en garden. At Yuushien Garden experience the iconic annual Yuushien Peony Festival, while also hope to visit private garden wonder Kawachi Wisteria Garden at Fukuoka.

During an exploration of Nagasaki you will gain further insight into its World War II history as well as its role in international trade during the isolation period, while a visit to Northern Kyushu and the vibrant city of Fukuoka will have options to visit its many highlights including Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine which dates back to the 16th Century. You will also spend a day in South Korea`s Ulsan exploring UNESCO World Heritage Site Gyeongju - the `museum without walls` and visiting the Haeinsa Temple, considered one of the three great temples in South Korea.

Helping you understand all you will see and experience, and travelling with you throughout the voyage, will be expert Guest Speakers and Japanese guides who will add immeasurably to your enjoyment and understanding of this captivating country. Heritage Expeditions hope you can join them for this rare opportunity to join this in-depth exploration around the coastline and islands of Japan, as you discover the unspoiled nature, primeval wilderness, incredible gardens, cultural treasures, traditional villages and futuristic cities resplendent with their unique charms.
