ASUKA III Cruises
Four days from Yokohama to Kobe. Onahama from 09:00 to 22:00, with fireworks over the harbour; then a full day at sea, and you wake in Kobe.
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

In Kobe the mountains and the sea are only a few streets apart. The Kitano houses were built for foreign merchants in the Meiji era, the stone buildings of the old foreign settlement are now shops, and the waterfront lights up after dark. From the terminal, Sannomiya is a walk or a short ride away.
