ASUKA III Cruises
Six days round-trip from Yokohama, calling at Moji and Busan. Moji keeps a whole street of Meiji- and Showa-era Western buildings; eleven hours in Busan is enough to reach Haedong Yonggungsa and return.
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.
From the Airport to the Pier：Haneda Airport、Narita Airport、Yokohama Station (YCAT)、Nihon-odori Station
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
Local flavours：Kiyoken Shumai、Chinatown Dim Sum、Iekei Ramen、Napolitan
Mojiko is the starting point of Kyushu's railways and shipping, with a well-preserved collection of red-brick Western-style buildings from the Meiji and Taisho eras, forming a rare 'modern architecture museum of a port town' in Japan; across the Kanmon Strait lies Shimonoseki, and the strait's night view and currents are a unique local landscape.
Mojiko Retro Day Trip：Mojiko Station、Former Osaka Shosen Building、Kanmon Strait、Mekari Park、Ganryujima
Local flavours：Baked Curry、Fugu (Pufferfish)、Kanmon Seafood、Shiba Eel
Busan is Korea's second city and its largest port: a temple built on rocks at the sea's edge, markets that cook what you have just bought, and a hillside village painted in colours.
A Temple by the Sea, a Village on the Slope：Haedong Yonggungsa、Gamcheon Culture Village、Jagalchi Market、Haeundae
Local flavours：Dwaeji Gukbap、Hoe (Raw Fish)、Milmyeon、Fish Cake
