Journey Details

Day 1 - Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo's rhythm is one of striking contrasts - centuries-old shrines and neon-lit streets, serene gardens and buzzing crossings. Sensō-ji Temple welcomes visitors to the historic heart of Asakusa, while Meiji Shrine lies quietly in a forested sanctuary between fashionable Harajuku and OmotesandÅ. Shibuya Crossing pulses with energy, Akihabara glows with pop culture, and food lovers delight in Tsukiji's vibrant market. From the towering Skytree to Ueno Park's spring cherry blossoms, Tokyo captures timeless tradition wrapped in modern wonder.

Day 2 - Toba (Ise), Japan

Toba and Ise share deep spiritual roots and coastal beauty. Explore Mikimoto Pearl Island, where traditional Ama divers demonstrate centuries-old techniques, or visit the sacred Ise Grand Shrine, Japan's most revered Shintō site, dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu. Ago Bay's calm waters invite kayaking and island-hopping, while fresh seafood and pearl heritage define local life. Toba and Ise together embody devotion, tradition and the serenity of the Japanese coast.

Day 3 - Kochi, Japan

Kochi celebrates samurai heritage and natural splendour. Its Edo-period castle remains one of Japan's few originals, while Chikurin-ji Temple exudes spiritual calm on Mount Godai. Katsurahama Beach offers sweeping Pacific views, watched over by a bronze statue of local hero Sakamoto Ryoma. In Hirome Market, friendly vendors serve fresh katsuo no tataki, and Cape Muroto's volcanic cliffs and sea-carved formations showcase nature's raw artistry. Kochi balances history, coastal beauty and a warm, welcoming culture.

Day 4 - At Sea

With more time to reflect, rejuvenate, and embrace the Ocean State of Mind, days at sea with Explora Journeys invite moments of unhurried exploration.

Day 5 - Shanghai, China

Shanghai dazzles with its harmony of tradition and modernity. Along The Bund, grand colonial facades gaze across the river to futuristic towers like the twisting Shanghai Tower. In the old city, Yu Garden offers quiet Ming-era beauty, while the nearby bazaar buzzes with crafts and steaming dumplings. Beyond the city, Zhujiajiao’s canals and stone bridges evoke China’s historic waterways. From glittering skyscrapers to timeless alleys, Shanghai is a city forever reinventing itself while holding onto its soul.

Day 7 - Naha (Okinawa), Japan

Naha radiates island warmth and Ryukyu heritage. Atop a hill, Shurijo Castle - once the royal palace - tells the story of a proud kingdom with its unique architecture and ocean views. Stroll bustling Kokusai Dori for colourful markets and street performances, or reflect at the Former Japanese Navy Underground Headquarters, where history lingers in quiet tunnels. Naha blends lively culture, poignant history and easygoing coastal charm.

Day 8 - Miyako Islands, Japan

Miyako Islands are a tranquil paradise where white sands and turquoise seas seem untouched by time. Yonaha Maehama Beach, often named Japan's most beautiful, invites long, lazy days, while the Higashi Henna Cape offers panoramic coastal views from its historic lighthouse. Cross Irabu Bridge to snorkel pristine reefs or explore hidden caves on neighbouring Irabu Island. Miyako is an escape for nature lovers and dreamers, blending quiet island culture with some of Japan's clearest waters.

Day 9 - Ishigaki Island, Japan

Ishigaki's turquoise waters and lush landscapes feel like a dream. Kabira Bay dazzles with emerald seas and white beaches, best admired on glass-bottom boat rides over vibrant coral reefs. Nearby, Ishigaki Limestone Cave unveils dramatic natural artistry formed over 200,000 years. The island is a diver's paradise, with manta rays, sea turtles and pristine coral gardens awaiting beneath the waves. Ishigaki is pure island serenity with a sense of adventure.
