ASUKA III Cruises
Depart from Tokyo, spend the final days of the Christmas season at sea, and arrive in Nagoya. Onboard Christmas dinners pair beautifully with the night views.
Tokyo's port lies on the bay, and the city centre is quickly reached from there. Old Asakusa and modern Odaiba face each other across the Sumida River and Tokyo Bay; half a day at each end is enough for both.

Half a Day Before Boarding:Odaiba、Tsukiji Outer Market、Ginza
One More Day After Disembarking:Sensoji、Tokyo Tower、Sumida River

Nagoya Port's Garden Pier is a destination in itself: an aquarium, a retired Antarctic research vessel and an observation deck atop the port building, all within walking distance. Once your luggage is handed over you need not go into the city at all — half a day passes easily right at the pier.
