IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE CULTURE OF JAPANExperience the full color of Japanese culture — through its

music, art, dance and cuisine. In port and on board, you’ll enjoy

live traditional Japanese music, Rakugo comedic storytelling,

illusionists and local regional activities. Authentic regional food

includes fresh sushi, classic noodle preparations and traditional

Japanese breakfast. Sample drinks including fine Japanese

whiskeys, a variety of high-quality sakes and special cocktails.

Kyo-Yuzen Silk Painting: Dyeing was introduced to Japan in the 8th century and evolved with the cultural life of the people of Kyoto. This lovely tradition utilizes a variety of colors and yuzen dyeing techniques to dye kimonos in picturesque designs. While the craft continues to flourish in and around the Kyoto region, today’s craftsmen employ a yuzen design using paper patterns.

Festival Season: Japan is known for its colorful traditional festivals, and many of our itineraries were planned to coincide with some of the most popular celebrations.

Flavors of Japan: Enjoy the exquisite tastes of Japan — attend a tea ceremony in Shimizu, visit a shochu brewery in Kagoshima, partake in an oyster lunch in Kushiro and much more.

Traditional music and dance: You’ll be treated to onboard performances of many of Japan’s traditional arts — including beautiful dance routines and Japanese classical music.

AOMORIIn the north of Japan’s main island of Honshu lies Aomori, home to dramatic volcanic mountains and the famous Nebuta summer festival.

KYOTOJapan’s UNESCO World Heritage ancient capital rivals Rome or Athens for the sheer number of historic castles, temples and other monuments.

MOUNT FUJI12,388-foot Mt. Fuji is not only Japan’s tallest mountain, but also holds nearly mythical status in the country’s art and culture. The port of Shimizu is one of your gateways to Fuji.

KYUSHUIn Kyushu, you’ll discover a mountainous land of geothermal wonders, with warm temperatures and rich samurai history, as well as the fascinating port of Kagoshima.

RYUKYU ISLANDSStretching south from Japan’s main islands is an archipelago known as the Ryukyu Islands. The Ryukyus stretch nearly to Taiwan, and include the unique islands of Okinawa and Ishigaki.

TOKYOThe capitol of Japan is also the country’s largest city, a contrast in ancient temples and palaces and modern culture and sights.

HOKKAIDOJapan’s most northern island is home to the dazzling Shiretoko Peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Cruise Wonders of the World.

SHIKOKUThe smallest and least populated of Japan’s main islands boasts delicious udon noodle dishes, white water rafting, temples and castles, ports like Kochi and beautiful scenic cruising in the Japan Inland Sea.

JAPAN’S SAN FRANCISCONagasaki is one of Japan’s most beautiful cities — often compared with San Francisco for its hilly locale and sparkling bay. The city’s most infamous memory, the World War II atomic bomb attack, is memorialized at the Nagasaki Peace Park and Atomic Bomb Museum. The city was also the setting for Puccini’s famous Madame Butterfly.

NIGHT OF THE NEBUTA Among Japan’s summer festivals, Nebuta — named for the large “nebuta” warrior float that is the centerpiece of the parade — is among the most celebrated. This fabled festival takes place in the northern city of Aomori, and in addition to the namesake float also features in its colorful procession dancers, festival music and a fireworks display. A late-night departure from Aomori lets you experience all the wonder of the Aomori Nebuta Festival.

Japan – what you need to know

Can I visit without knowing the language(s)? Absolutely. English is spoken on board and on shore excursions. Signage and information in many Japanese cities are in English, and many Japanese speak the language.

What about dealing with local currency? No worries — onboard charges are priced in U.S. dollars, and a currency exchange is available on your ship.

Is it safe? For 50 years, Princess has safely taken guests to some of the most exotic places on the planet. Our commitment to guest and crew safety comes first. Always has, always will.

How can I maximize my time in Asia? We craft each cruise to highlight the best of that region. With Princess More Ashore you can enjoy time in port with a Late Night stay (9 p.m. or later) or an overnight.

What’s special about these ports? Ancient temples, vibrant festivals, healing hot springs — each port is full of wonders to discover, and shore excursions explore them all. Many visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites, places identified as being of exceptional importance.

What if I don’t like the local cuisine? When dining on board, you get the best of both worlds — delicious regional dishes and familiar favorites you’ll love. Each port offers world-famous culinary fare.

What about U.S. voltage outlets and hair dryers? Your ship and stateroom come equipped with U.S. voltage outlets for chargers and other devices. There is also a safety-tested hair dryer in every stateroom.
