About Japan through the seasons

Asuka sails mostly from Yokohama, with departures from Kobe and Hakata, timed to Japan’s seasons: cherry blossom, summer festivals and fireworks, autumn leaves and winter illuminations, with calls such as Himeji Castle, the Seto Inland Sea and the Awa Odori in Tokushima, and a Golden Week voyage to Taiwan in 2027. See our Asia region guide.
