It’s a great itinerary for the people who have already been to Japan and visited many popular places on the mainland and would like to experience something different.
Cruising around southern Japan via a luxury ship will be an amazing experience!

I will post more details with pictures , but I just wanted to announce it briefly here!

Please join me if you are interested in being part of this great experience!

I just received some beautiful pictures of cherry blossoms (Kawazuzakura) from Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto!

So, let me share them with my followers! I wish I was there….

It looks like the weather is really warm in Kyoto, so the cherry blossoms started blooming earlier than usual.

This is a Japanese website, but you will see when the cherry blossoms are going to fully bloom.

Actually, I did not know that nearly 4000 people are following my page… I keep receiving booking requests to Japan, so I do not have that much time to spend on SNS.

Please contact me if you are interested in luxury travel to Japan!

This is what I wanted to watch in Shibuya!
The 3D Akita dog shows up at the top of every hour.

Find a perfect spot to watch it!

I’m glad I was able to watch it. Just so cute!

I’d like to watch the 3D cat in Shinjuku next time.

Hang in there! It's been reported that the visa requiment for travel to Japan will be removed sometime soon.... Japan has distinct four seasons, and fall is one of the recommended traveling times.

Kihara says many people want to visit the country in the 'fall and winter'

Some promising news recently regarding Japan easing the restrictions of foreign travelers entering Japan. The daily cap on non-tourism related visitors will be increased in June from the current 10,000 to 20,000.

Japan is also looking to allow tourists to enter as part of small-group tours (not individuals) starting soon.

Hopefully, this gradual relief in restrictions will continue and individual tourists will be able to go back to Japan sometime this year. Fingers crossed!

The relaxation of the cap is expected to go ahead following an examination of airport quarantine infrastructure and the coronavirus situation in the country after the Golden Week holidays.

Dreaming of visiting some of these gardens the next time I go to Japan. I have already been to many of them but was happy to add a few new ones to my list!

Any trip to Japan would not be complete without at least one visit to a traditional Japanese garden. For many visitors, Japanese gardens prove to be one of the highlights of the whole visit, and considering the riches Japan has to offer it is not hard to see why. Gardens in Japan range from immacula...

As we wait to go back to Japan, I am reminiscing about the fantastic expedition cruise on which I was the Virtuoso On-board Host on the beautiful Silver Explorer in 2019!!

Over 10 days we visited select historical and beautiful destinations in Japan and ended in South Korea.

I thought I would share my blog post from that wonderful journey. Here you can see photos and brief thoughts on our stops in Kobe (where we boarded the ship, Okayama, Takamatsu, Miyajima and Hiroshima, Hagi, Sakaiminato, Kanazawa, and in South Korea at Sokcho and Busan (where we disembarked).

These destinations are great for those who have already visited Tokyo and Kyoto in Japan and are looking to explore different areas of Japan.

Thanks again to Silversea Cruises for such an excellent adventure!

In this 2nd blog of our Silver Explorer Expedition cruise around Japan and Korea, we introduce the ports that we visited on this cruise.
