PORTS OF CALL

Tokyo (Yokohama), Japan

Beginning a journey in Tokyo is to start with an immersion into a city that operates on a different frequency. It’s a place where ancient tradition and relentless futurism coexist on the same block, and to rush through it on your way to the cruise terminal in Yokohama would be a profound missed opportunity. Arriving one or two days early is not just a practical buffer against jet lag and travel delays; it is an essential prologue to your voyage, allowing you to acclimate and experience one of the world's most captivating urban landscapes.

First, some practical orientation. Your ship will depart from Yokohama, a major port city about 45-60 minutes south of central Tokyo by train. Most international travelers arrive at either Narita (NRT) or Haneda (HND) airport. From either, efficient and comfortable transportation like the Narita Express (N'EX) train or the Airport Limousine Bus will take you directly to major hubs in Tokyo like Shinjuku or Tokyo Station, where you can easily connect to your hotel.

**A Suggested 48-Hour Pre-Cruise Itinerary:**

**Day 1: The Pulse of Modern Tokyo**

After settling in, dive headfirst into the city's vibrant energy. Make your way to Shibuya to witness the famous Scramble Crossing. It’s more than just a busy intersection; it’s a mesmerizing, hypnotic ballet of organized chaos and a perfect introduction to the scale of Tokyo. From a vantage point in the adjacent Starbucks or the new Shibuya Sky observation deck, you can watch the human river flow.

From the exhilarating energy of Shibuya, seek out the profound tranquility of the Meiji Jingu shrine, a short walk or train ride away. Dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, this forested oasis in the heart of the city is a powerful reminder of Japan's deep spiritual roots. The walk along the wide gravel path under the canopy of massive trees feels like a world away from the city's neon glow.

For the evening, head to Shinjuku. For a stunning and, importantly, free panoramic view of the sprawling metropolis, visit the observation decks of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. As dusk settles, the city transforms into a galaxy of lights. Afterwards, explore the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden if time permits, or dive into the narrow, lantern-lit alleyways of Omoide Yokocho (“Memory Lane”), where tiny yakitori stalls serve grilled skewers and beer in a wonderfully atmospheric setting.

**Day 2: Tradition, Taste, and Transition**

Begin your second day in Asakusa, the heart of Tokyo's old Shitamachi (downtown). The main attraction is the magnificent Senso-ji Temple, the city's oldest. Approach through the Nakamise-dori, a bustling shopping street lined with vendors selling traditional crafts, snacks, and souvenirs. It’s a vibrant, sensory experience that offers a glimpse into a more traditional era.

From Asakusa, consider a short subway ride to Ueno Park, home to several of Japan's best museums, including the Tokyo National Museum. Or, for a change of pace, explore the Ginza district, known for its upscale boutiques, art galleries, and impressive department stores. A visit to a 'depachika'—the sprawling, immaculate food hall in the basement of a department store like Mitsukoshi—is a culinary adventure in itself, offering everything from exquisite bento boxes to delicate pastries.

On embarkation day, you can enjoy a leisurely morning before making your way to Yokohama. The journey is straightforward via the JR lines. If you have time, Yokohama itself is worth exploring. Its waterfront area, Minato Mirai 21, offers modern architecture and the Cup Noodles Museum, while its sprawling Chinatown is one of the largest and most vibrant in the world. A stroll through the serene Sankeien Garden provides a final moment of peace before you board your ship.

By arriving early, you transform a simple departure point into a destination. You give yourself the time to navigate the world's most efficient public transit, to savor a bowl of life-changing ramen in a tiny shop, to feel the quiet reverence of a shrine, and to witness the electric energy of a city that never fails to fascinate. It sets the stage for the rest of your journey, ensuring you begin your cruise not with the fatigue of travel, but with the enrichment of experience.

Shimizu (Mt. Fuji), Japan

Shimizu serves as the celebrated gateway to Japan's most iconic landmark, Mount Fuji. It is essential to set expectations: the mountain's majestic volcanic cone is famously shy, often veiled in clouds, especially outside of the crisp autumn and winter months. When the weather cooperates, the views are genuinely breathtaking. For one of the most classic perspectives, travel to the Miho no Matsubara, a UNESCO-listed pine grove where dark green trees and the blue sea frame Fuji in a scene immortalized by ukiyo-e woodblock artists. Another excellent option is the Nihondaira Plateau, often reached by ropeway, which offers sweeping panoramas of the mountain, Suruga Bay, and the Izu Peninsula.

Should Fuji remain hidden, the region still offers rich cultural experiences. Shizuoka Prefecture is the heart of Japan's green tea production; a visit to a local plantation provides insight into this revered tradition, from leaf to cup. Nearby Shizuoka City is home to Sunpu Castle Park, the former stronghold of the powerful shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. While the main keep is a reconstruction, the grounds and moats evoke a strong sense of feudal history. For those seeking a more relaxed day, the area immediately around the port has the S-Pulse Dream Plaza, a modern complex with shops, a Ferris wheel, and a small, enjoyable sushi museum. The true reward of a day in Shimizu is that unforgettable glimpse of Fuji-san, but the area's deep connection to history and nature provides a worthy journey in its own right.

At Sea - Cruising

Osaka, Japan

Osaka presents a fascinating strategic choice for the traveler: explore the boisterous, neon-lit "Kitchen of Japan" or use the port as a gateway to the ancient capital of Kyoto. Both are world-class options, but they offer vastly different experiences depending on your priorities.

If you choose to stay in Osaka, prepare for a sensory experience centered on gastronomy. The city’s unofficial motto is *kuidaore*—"eat until you drop"—and the Dotonbori district is the place to do it. We recommend skipping a formal sit-down lunch in favor of a street food tour along the canal; *takoyaki* (octopus dumplings) and *okonomiyaki* (savory pancakes) are the local standards that define the city's unpretentious, fun-loving culture. For history, Osaka Castle is the primary draw. Travelers should be aware that while the exterior is grandiose and photogenic, the main keep is a modern concrete reconstruction housing a history museum. The surrounding park and massive stone walls, however, are authentic and impressive.

However, for first-time visitors to the Kansai region, we often advise taking the train to Kyoto, located roughly 30 to 50 minutes away. Kyoto holds the traditional Japan of your imagination: the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji), the endless vermilion gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, and the historic Gion district. The "nightingale floors" of Nijo Castle—designed to chirp under footsteps to warn of intruders—remain a marvel of feudal engineering. Whether you choose the modern energy of Osaka or the serene temples of Kyoto, the region's rail system makes navigation reliable and efficient.

Hiroshima, Japan

A visit to Hiroshima is one of the most profound and meaningful experiences in all of Japan. The city, reborn from its devastating past, now stands as a global symbol of peace and resilience. A day here offers a powerful journey of reflection, balanced by serene natural and spiritual beauty.

The essential starting point is the Peace Memorial Park, a vast and beautifully maintained area in the city center. Here you will find the skeletal A-Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome), a UNESCO World Heritage Site left standing as a stark reminder of the events of 1945. The park also contains the Children's Peace Monument and the eternal Peace Flame. The adjacent Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is a deeply moving, unflinching account of the bombing and its aftermath. We advise allocating sufficient time and emotional space for this visit; its impact is significant and lasting.

Beyond its history, Hiroshima is a vibrant, modern city. A short tram ride away, you can experience its lively culture through its signature dish: Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. This savory, layered pancake with noodles, cabbage, and various toppings is a delicious and authentic taste of local life.

For many, the highlight is a short ferry ride to the sacred island of Miyajima, home to the Itsukushima Shrine. Its iconic vermilion torii gate, which appears to float on the water at high tide, is one of Japan's most famous sights. With its major restoration now complete, the gate stands in its full, unobscured glory. The island itself is a delight, with friendly wild deer, traditional shops, and the beautiful Daisho-in Temple at the base of Mount Misen. A day trip that includes both the Peace Park and Miyajima is ambitious but achievable with an early start and efficient use of the excellent local tram and ferry network.

Busan, South Korea

Busan reveals itself as a city of compelling contrasts, where serene mountain temples overlook a bustling, modern port. It’s a destination that offers a genuine cross-section of contemporary South Korea, balancing deep-rooted tradition with forward-looking energy.

For a profound sense of history, visit Beomeo-sa Temple, a sprawling complex founded in the 7th century that offers a peaceful retreat from the city's pace. Alternatively, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple presents a dramatic scene, uniquely built into the coastal cliffs overlooking the sea—a rare and beautiful setting for a Buddhist temple.

To experience the city's vibrant daily life, immerse yourself in the Jagalchi Fish Market. It is an exhilarating sensory experience where you can witness the local seafood trade and even sample the fresh catch at an upstairs restaurant. Nearby, the sprawling Gukje Market offers everything from traditional goods to modern fashion, reflecting the city's long history as a center of commerce.

A short journey away, the Gamcheon Culture Village is a highlight. Once a hillside slum, it has been transformed into a living art installation, with brightly colored houses, narrow winding alleys, and whimsical sculptures creating a truly unique and photogenic landscape. For a glimpse of modern Busan, Haeundae Beach is a wide stretch of sand backed by a gleaming skyline. While it's a bustling urban beach, it provides a pleasant place to observe contemporary Korean leisure. Busan offers a rich, accessible slice of culture that more than fills a day in port.

Kumamoto, Japan

Nagasaki, Japan

Nagasaki is a city of profound contrasts, where a history of immense tragedy coexists with a vibrant, multicultural identity shaped by centuries of international trade. A visit here is an essential, and often deeply moving, part of understanding modern Japan.

The city’s most significant sites are dedicated to remembrance. The Nagasaki Peace Park and the adjacent Atomic Bomb Museum are powerful, somber, and impeccably curated. They present the events of August 9, 1945, with a focus on peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons. While emotionally challenging, this experience is fundamental to grasping the city's spirit of resilience.

Beyond this solemn history, Nagasaki reveals a fascinating past as one of the few Japanese ports open to foreign trade during the country's long period of isolation. This legacy is best explored at Glover Garden, an open-air museum of 19th-century Western-style mansions set on a hillside with panoramic views of the harbor. It was in one of these homes that the story of Puccini's *Madame Butterfly* is said to have been inspired. Nearby, the reconstructed island of Dejima offers a glimpse into the lives of the Dutch traders who were confined there for over 200 years.

Nagasaki’s unique culture is also evident in its cuisine. Be sure to try *champon*, a hearty noodle soup born from the city’s Chinese influences, and the delicate *castella* sponge cake, a sweet legacy of Portuguese merchants. The city’s compact layout and excellent streetcar system make it easy to explore these distinct historical layers in a single, memorable day.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation

Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
Your parent or child requires hospitalization
You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

Payment guarantee
Emergency medical transportation
