ASUKA III Cruises
Three days from Hakata to Nagoya with a full day at sea between. No ports of call — the passage from Kyushu to Chubu is the journey itself.
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
Nagoya Port's Garden Pier is a destination in itself: an aquarium, a retired Antarctic research vessel and an observation deck atop the port building, all within walking distance. Once your luggage is handed over you need not go into the city at all — half a day passes easily right at the pier.
From the Airport to the Pier：Chubu Centrair Airport、Kanayama、Nagoyako Station
Half a Day Before Boarding：Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium、Antarctic Research Vessel Fuji、Port Building Observatory
One More Day After Disembarking：Nagoya Castle、Atsuta Shrine、Toyota Commemorative Museum、Osu
