ASUKA III Cruises
Call at Toba in Ise-Shima in the warm spring season, savoring Ise lobster and abalone while admiring the elegant pearl cultivation scenery of Ago Bay.
Osanbashi Pier sits at the edge of the old foreign settlement: fifteen minutes on foot brings you to Chinatown, and the other direction leads to Yamashita Park and the Red Brick Warehouse. Haneda Airport is about half an hour away, so a night here before embarkation means an unhurried morning.
