Osaka is the gateway to Nara (45 minutes) with free-roaming deer and the Todai-ji temple with the largest bronze Buddha in Japan, as well as to Kyoto. Osaka itself is Japan's kitchen capital - takoyaki, okonomiyaki and the Dotonbori canal form the liveliest food quarter in Japan.
Kochi on the Malabar Coast of southern India brings together Chinese fishing nets along the harbour, Portuguese colonial buildings in Fort Kochi, an old Jewish synagogue (1568) and Dutch canals. One of the most culturally layered port cities in the Indian Ocean.
Miyanoura is the main port of the Japanese island of Yakushima, whose ancient cedar forests are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The thousand-year-old yakusugi trees and the rain-soaked, moss-green mountain forest make the island unique.
The subtropical Amami Islands between Kyushu and Okinawa have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021. Dense laurel forests, mangroves and endemic species such as the Amami rabbit define their nature.
The Kerama Archipelago west of Okinawa is protected as a national park and celebrated for the luminous "Kerama blue" of its waters. Healthy coral reefs, sea turtles and wintering humpback whales fill the surrounding sea.
Tagbilaran is the capital of the Philippine island of Bohol in the Visayas and the gateway to the world-famous Chocolate Hills. The harbour also gives access to the small neighbouring island of Panglao with its dive sites.
The tiny island of Kalanggaman off Palompon on Leyte in the Philippines is famed for its long white sandbars that reach into the turquoise sea at low tide. The uninhabited island is an idyllic spot for swimming and snorkelling.
Donsol is a coastal town in the Philippine province of Sorsogon at the southern tip of Luzon. From November to June whale sharks, known locally as butanding, gather offshore in one of the world's most reliable encounter zones for these gentle giants.
In the north of the Philippine island of Luzon, San Fernando is the capital of La Union region on the South China Sea. The harbour serves as a gateway to the rice terraces and mountains of the Cordillera.
Apo Reef is the world's second-largest contiguous coral reef after the Great Barrier Reef, covering 34 square kilometres in the Sulu Sea off the Philippine island of Mindoro. The marine sanctuary harbours around 285 coral species, reef sharks and sea turtles.
Manila is the capital of the Philippines and one of the oldest European-influenced cities in Asia. The Spanish colonial quarter of Intramuros, the historic Fort Santiago and the bustling markets of Quiapo define the city.
