    Discover the natural beauty, exquisite cultural landmarks, and time-honored traditions that

    dene this multi-aceted land as we cruise along the dramatic Japanese coastlines o Honshu

    and Shikoku.

    Our voyage is a constant revelation o contrasts and juxtapositions. Volcanoes soar above

    the island landscape, an integral part o the Pacics Ring o Fire, and rugged shorelines are

    sculpted rom centuries o sur and wind. iny islets rise rom serene lagoons, crowned with

    bonsai-like pine treesproviding poetic inspiration that transcends the ages. And Japanshistorical tapestry o dynasties, samurai and shoguns, geishas and gaijin traders lives on in its

    abled shrines and temples, magnicent castles and ortresses, impeccably designed gardens,

    and elegant pagodas.

    We start our journey in Kyoto, Japans premier repository o cultural riches, beore transerring

    to the world-class port o Kobe. Aboard the superb 110-passenger Clipper Odysseyset sail into

    the Inland Sea and explore the small town o Kurashiki, a preserved 17th-century commercial

    center where ancient arts and crats endure. We visit the ultimately moving Peace MemorialPark in the heart o Hiroshima, and, at Miyajima, the amous red orii gate o the 6th-century

    Shinto shrine oers photographers an exquisite subject.

    A trip highlight is our ull-day exploration o Gyeongju, South Korea, the ancient capital o

    the brilliant Shilla Dynasty and now a World Heritage Site. In the company o our guides we

    examine the amazing, extensively excavated monuments, tombs, and temples that make this

    one o the worlds nest open-air cultural museums.

    On Honshu we visit a lovely region o rivers and lakes back-dropped by soaring mountains.Matsue, the town o water oers a glimpse into a venerable liestyle that refects centuries-old

    traditions, and Kanazawa is a visual delight with its samurai residences, old geisha district,

    and colorul sh market. We also explore isolated and beautiul Sado Island, rarely visited

    by outsiders, and once the home to political exiles.

    Troughout our journey, the gracious Japanese people introduce us to their culture with pride.

    Enjoy a traditional dance perormance and tea ceremony, walk through a tranquil orest o old

    bamboo, and photograph colorul markets and ancient village alleyways lined with lacquerwareand pottery shops. Te abled Koraku-en and Kenroku-en Gardens oer a chance to experi-

    ence representative landscapes immortalized by Japanese painters. We also witness the art o

    traditional noodle-making and learn about the centuries-old practice o brewing sake.

    Join Zegrahms team o lecturers, along with expert Japanese guides, as we cruise these wildly

    beautiul coastlines and discover the exquisite and timeless reasures o Japan.
