ASUKA III Cruises
Four days round-trip from Hakata with a full day each at Busan and Jeju. Busan has Haedong Yonggungsa and its markets; Jeju's Seongsan Ilchulbong, a volcanic cone, is a World Heritage site.
Fukuoka Airport is five minutes from Hakata Station by subway — few Japanese airports sit this close to the city. Half a day before boarding is enough to walk the old quarter, or to do nothing at all and sit by the river in Nakasu waiting for the food stalls to open.
From the Airport to the Pier:Fukuoka Airport、Hakata Station、Chuo Pier
Half a Day Before Boarding:Kushida Shrine、Hakata Old Town、Canal City Hakata、Nakasu
One More Day After Disembarking:Dazaifu Tenmangu、Yanagawa、Mojiko、Itoshima
Local flavours:Tonkotsu Ramen、Mentaiko、Motsunabe、Goma-saba
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
Jeju is a volcanic island and World Natural Heritage site: Seongsan Ilchulbong, lava tubes, and coastal columnar joints showcase geological beauty, while stone house villages and haenyeo (female diver) culture are a microcosm of the island's humanity, offering depth even in a short stay.
Volcanic Landscapes Day Trip:Seongsan Ilchulbong、Manjanggul Cave、Seongeup Folk Village、Coastal Highway、Hallasan
Local flavours:Kurobuta Pork、Seafood Hot Pot、Abalone Porridge、Citrus Dessert
