Reveal Japan's colourful past, where the Samurai warrior rubs shoulders with the subtlety of the geisha.

Sail from Osaka to the sun-drenched coastal city of Tamano. Visit Hiroshima whose moving memorials include the Peace Memorial Park and Genbaku Dome, and explore Miyajima, home to the majestic Shinto Shrine, whose entrance is guarded by the magnificent vermillion Torii Gate. In Nagasaki, remember the story of Madame Butterfly, the strains of which can still be heard in the narrow city streets, and the tragic events of WWII.

Admire the volcanic landscape of Kagoshima then head to tranquil Busan in South Korea. From Sakaiminato, discover medieval Japan and the sumptuous dwellings of the Samurai including Bukeyashiki, a marvellous testament to the golden age of the Edo dynasty.
