Japan from the water is Japan at its most revelatory. Celebrity Millennium and Solstice offer 12- to 13-night circuits from Tokyo, with double overnights in Kyoto (via Osaka) for temple immersion, Kobe for Wagyu at the source, and calls at Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Korea's Busan. The Nebuta Festival sailing in late July catches Aomori's illuminated float procession. Cherry blossom departures in late March and April are among the most sought-after itineraries in ocean cruising.
