Itinerary

day 1 | Tokyo

Location

Tokyo Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal

5 Chome-7-1 Harumi, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0053, Japan

Embark on the MITSUI OCEAN FUJI and immerse yourself in its serene décor as you settle into your "all inclusive" suite.


day 2 | At sea


day 3 | Tomonoura

Tomonoura is a picturesque, historic port town located at the southern tip of Fukuyama City in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. Nestled along a scenic bay facing the calm waters of the Seto Inland Sea, it is renowned for its beautifully preserved 19th-century Edo-period port facilities—the only complete set remaining intact in Japan. Historically known as a shiomachi no minato ("port waiting for the tide"), sailors would stop here for centuries to wait for favorable wind and currents. Today, its nostalgic, sepia-toned atmosphere and charming labyrinth of narrow streets draw travelers, history buffs, and cinema lovers alike.


day 4 | Beppu

Famous for its numerous hot springs and "hell" geothermal attractions. Beppu is one of Japan’s most famous hot spring destinations, known for its variety of thermal experiences, dramatic landscapes, and traditional onsen culture


day 5 | Aokata (Kamigoto)

Aoka refers to Hotel Aoka Kamigoto, a modern and stylish boutique hotel located on Nakadori Island in the Shinkamigoto region of the Goto Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It serves as a popular, tranquil base for travelers exploring local Christian heritage sites and scenic coastlines.


day 6 | Koshikijima

The Koshikishima Islands (also spelled Koshikijima) are a breathtaking, pristine archipelago located in the East China Sea, about 38 kilometers west of Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. Part of the Koshikishima Quasi-National Park, this chain is primarily composed of three main inhabited islands: Kami-Koshikijima (North), Naka-Koshikijima (Central), and Shimo-Koshikijima (South). Often referred to by travelers as "Japan's Little Iceland," the islands are famous for their slow pace of life, massive 80-million-year-old sea cliffs, and preserved traditional cultures.


day 7-8 | At sea


day 9 | Tokyo

We arrive back in port. It’s time to bid farewell to your newly formed friends, both passengers and staff. While some will prepare for their journey home, others will continue, extending their trip, preparing to have more memorable experiences.
