Japan Cruises - Holiday Destination
Surrounded by ocean, Japanese cruises are an effective, efficient and impressive way to discover this ancient country.
Located on the eastern edge of the Asian continent, Japan is a country of contradictions, from its state-of-the-art cutting edge technology, to its ancient religious monuments and culture of zen spirituality and Shinto - there is so much to see and a Japan cruise is a great way to do so.
Japan's climate is not so far removed from the UK's, with the four distinct seasons of spring, summer autumn and winter.
Spring is a good time to visit thanks to warm but not hot temperatures and the famous cherry blossoms and festivals.
Destinations that must not be missed on Japan cruises include the capital Tokyo, Mount Fuji, the seaside city of Fukuoka on the island of Kyushu, Naha on Okinawa Island and of course the historic city of Nagasaki.
In Kobe, a trip to the Sake Brewery Museum is a must, to learn the secrets of brewing the rice wine and of course trying a sample.
Kyoto is home to a number of must-see attractions, such as the Golden Pavilion and Gardens and Nijo Castle. In Kyoto there are also a number of beautiful temples to be discovered.
Nagasaki made history as one of two cities to be destroyed by an atomic bomb in the second world war. Visit the parks, monuments and museums that were installed to remember the events.
For a taste of modern life in Japan, a visit to Tokyo is mandatory. This vibrant city is full of amazing buildings, fantastic restaurants and is the perfect way to round off or begin a Japan cruise.
