20 Nights on Star Seeker

Experience Tokyo with its neon lights, Ginza shopping, and more Michelin-starred restaurants than any city in the world. Wrap yourself in natural beauty as you gaze at the perfect symmetry of Mt. Fuji, go “sand bathing” at a hot spring, and hike trails past waterfalls, shrines, and massive evergreens. You’ll find echoes of the past, from Osaka’s and Kyoto’s cultural and historical treasures to the peace parks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After exploring Japan’s main islands, head to the Ryukyu Islands. As part of the Ryukyu Kingdom the culture has infused with foreign influences. See hints of China in Okinawa’s 14th-century Shuri Castle, and notice how everything from the cuisine to the language include Chinese, Korean and Southeast Asian influences. Revel the “Amami blue” waters and a peacock array of palm trees, unspoiled beaches, and coral reefs.
