RR42250
Poetically called “the Land of the Rising Sun”, Japan is a country of age-old traditions, ancient temples & ultra-modern cities. In the South, it is home to numerous small islands & islets, each a tropical paradise. Aboard L’Austral, take an exceptional cruise from Manila to discover these unspoiled & little-known archipelagos. Nicknamed “the beautiful island” by Portuguese sailors, 70% of the island of Taiwan is covered in lush, subtropical vegetation. When L’Austral stops in Hualien discover the stunning Taroko Gorge, one of the island’s must-see sites. Further, you will discover the Okinawa Islands. Often referred to as “the Japanese Hawaii”, the archipelago of the former Ryukyu Kingdom is a string of semi-tropical islands that reveals a very different side of Japan, far from the traditional image of cherry blossoms or Mount Fuji. Before joining Kobe, we will call at Hiroshima, the gateway to Miyajima, home to the majestic Shinto shrine whose entrance is guarded by a magnificent vermillion Torii listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
