Tokyo (Yokohama) to Tokyo
Ten nights aboard Silver Moon between Yokohama and Tokyo condense Japan's coastal culture into a compact stage. The route follows the Pacific coast, crosses the Inland Sea and returns along the north. Silversea maintains an all-inclusive standard with butlers, premium wines, Wi-Fi and gratuities. That leaves time for shrines, onsen and quiet shrine gardens. A journey through time in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Route highlights
- Yokohama: Port city outside Tokyo with Chinatown and the Sankeien Garden.
- Kobe: Gateway to Kyoto and Nara, with Wagyu and sake.
- Hiroshima: Peace Park and Miyajima.
- Nagasaki: Glover Garden and a Christian port story.
- Kanazawa: Samurai quarter and Kenroku-en.
- Tokyo: Finale between shrine gardens and skyline.
