The capital of Japan effortlessly blends traditional culture with modern innovation. Key sights in Tokyo include the historic Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, the iconic Tokyo Tower with its panoramic views of the city, and the bustling Shibuya Crossing, one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world. Travelers can also explore the vibrant neighborhoods of Ginza, Shibuya, and Asakusa, each with its own unique charm and attractions. Shop in the trendy boutiques of Harajuku and Aoyama and explore the beautiful gardens and parks of Shinjuku and Ueno.

Sail through the dramatic landscape of the 30-mile-long Endicott Arm, passing rugged wilderness, waterfalls, and the lush, wildlife-rich Tongass National Forest for up-close looks at tidewater glaciers, including Dawes Glacier.

Located along the Sea of Japan, Niigata is known for its fertile rice fields and long tradition of sake brewing. The city’s pure water and high-quality rice have made it one of Japan’s leading sake regions, and visits to historic breweries offer a chance to sample locally crafted varieties. Stroll along the Shinano River, explore Niigata’s seafood markets and waterfront districts, or venture farther ashore to Sado Island, where dramatic coastlines, historic gold mines, and enduring cultural traditions reveal another side of the region. 

Overlooking the Sea of Japan, Kanazawa is a city where centuries-old traditions endure in beautifully preserved samurai and geisha districts. Stroll the winding paths of Kenrokuen Garden, celebrated as one of Japan’s most exquisite landscape gardens, or explore contemporary works at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. From delicate gold leaf craftsmanship to refined regional cuisine, Kanazawa offers a graceful blend of artistry, heritage, and quiet coastal beauty.
