Day 1

18th Apr '25

Kagoshima, Japan
The seaside city of Kagoshima, at the south of Kyushu Island, ﾠis best known for Sakurajima, an active volcano that faces Kinko Bay. A visit to this busy metropolis will remind you just how much the volcano is part of the inhabitants everyday life: in the wake of the almost daily eruptions, a delicate layer of ash settles on everything. The top of a buried torii (traditional Japanese gate) measuring three metres that was swallowed up by a giant lava flow in 1914 can still be seen. The power of nature will send a shiver down your spine. More

Busan (South Korea)
With around four million inhabitants, Busan is the second largest metropolis on South Korea, after Seoul. This dynamic harbour city, located in the south-east, surrounded by the warm waters of the Sea of Japan, benefits from a mild, pleasant climate. You’ll find delightful simply to stroll around the lively streets and explore the city’s outstanding cultural heritage of art galleries, museums, and Buddhist sites, such as the Haedong Yonggungsa temple, which elegantly sits on the waterfront. Rich too in magnificent beaches and superlative natural landscapes, Busan’s peaceful atmosphere will win you over, as will its inhabitants, whom you’ll have the pleasure of meeting. More

Moji/Kitakyushu
Facing the Seto Inland Sea, Moji Ward is a port district best known for Mojiko Retro, a waterfront development with restored industrial buildings, museums, and trendy restaurants. Sunset watchers gather at Mekari Park’s seafront promenade, where ships glide by under Kanmon Bridge. Shiranoe Botanical Garden has far-reaching sea views from a hill, as well as paths lined with flower beds and shaded by blossoming trees. More

Osaka, Japan
Like its big sister Tokyo, Osaka is the product of ancestral traditions and amazing technological innovations. And despite its size, its location on the Pacific Ocean give it a sense of serenity. The main historic landmark is the 16th-century Osaka Castle, which stands proud in the midst of majestic skyscrapers. The lively streets of Dotomburi and the bizarre Shinsekai district attract thousands of locals and visitors. A multitude of restaurants offer menus full of regional specialities: takoyaki, made with octopus, and other succulent dishes such as kushikatsu kebabs. More
