ASUKA III Cruises
Seven days round-trip from Yokohama, calling at Beppu and Hiroshima and cruising the Seto Inland Sea on the way back. Steam rises from Beppu's hot springs; from Hiroshima you can reach Miyajima and its torii standing in the sea.
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.

Half a Day Before Boarding：Zou-no-hana Park、Yamashita Park、Yokohama Chinatown、Red Brick Warehouse
One More Day After Disembarking：Minato Mirai、Sankeien Garden、Motomachi & Harbour View Hill、Cup Noodles Museum

Beppu is one of Japan's largest hot spring resorts, with the highest volume of hot spring water in the country; steam rises from the streets, and the colorful 'hells' and diverse spring qualities make it the most concentrated stage of Japanese hot spring culture.
