From the temple-lined streets of ancient Kyoto to the timeless sophistication of a Princess Cruises voyage, this exceptional journey unites Japan’s storied heartland with the romance of the waves.
There is no finer way to discover Japan than by rail. Sleek bullet trains sweep you between the great cities, while characterful mountain lines like the Sagano Romantic Train carry you deep into forested valleys and along glittering rivers. Over 10 nights of escorted touring, the country unfolds at its own gentle pace: the hush of Arashiyama’s bamboo groves, a moment of reflection at Hiroshima, the snow-capped symmetry of Mount Fuji. When the rails give way to the water, Sapphire Princess® becomes your elegant home from home. She traces a graceful loop from Tokyo, calling at lesser- known northern ports, crossing to lively Busan in South Korea, and pausing at poignant Nagasaki.
