Port sequence, places visited, tours and times may be different from those published.
Yokohama, Japan's second-largest city, seamlessly blends historical charm with modern innovation. Once a modest fishing village, it has transformed into a vibrant cosmopolitan hub, offering visitors a rich tapestry of cultural experiences, waterfront attractions, and culinary delights.
Miyazaki is both a coastal capital city and a scenic prefecture located on the southeastern coast of Kyushu Island in Japan. Celebrated for its sub-tropical climate, rich Japanese mythology, exceptional surfing beaches, and world-class wagyu beef, it is a hidden-gem destination that offers a relaxed, palm-tree-lined alternative to Japan's dense urban centers.
Nishinoomote is a port city located on the northern part of Tanegashima Island within Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. It serves as the primary administrative, commercial, and transportation hub for the island.
The Koshikijima Islands are a breathtaking archipelago located in the East China Sea, roughly 25 to 38 kilometers off the western coast of Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. Administered by Satsumasendai City, this chain is primarily composed of three main inhabited islands—Kami-Koshikijima (Upper), Naka-Koshikijima (Middle), and Shimo-Koshikijima (Lower)—alongside numerous smaller, uninhabited islets. Known for their dramatic geological formations dating back 80 million years to the Cretaceous period, the islands are protected as part of the Koshikishima Quasi-National Park.
Kure Atoll (also known as Hōlanikū or Mokupāpapa) is the northernmost coral atoll in the world and the absolute furthest northwestern point of the Hawaiian archipelago. Located roughly 1,400 miles northwest of Honolulu, this remote, uninhabited Wildlife Bird Sanctuary is part of the state of Hawaii and is managed within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

The name "MITSUI OCEAN SAKURA" honors the cherry blossom, a flower deeply cherished in Japan for its timeless beauty. With an overall length of under 200 meters, MITSUI OCEAN SAKURA’s agile hull allows her to access small harbors, remote islands, and sheltered bays, reaching every corner of Japan. Approaching beautiful coastlines, historic port towns, and unspoiled natural retreats from the sea is a special experience unique to Mitsui’s style of cruising.
As an intimate, 32,477-ton luxury ship accommodating 458 guests, she carries forward the legacy of her predecessor, the Nippon Maru. Voyages include stops at remote islands in Okinawa and Hokkaido, alongside seasonal journeys that celebrate local festivals, fireworks, music, and regional cuisine.
The ship also carries forward a culinary legacy built over more than 35 years aboard the Nippon Maru. The chefs, who know ocean dining inside and out, bring their dedication to every dish, coloring each meal of your journey. Onboard, guests will experience a harmonious blend of Japanese aesthetics and tradition.
Each stateroom offers an ocean view and suite-style comfort, with private verandas in about 90% of rooms. Guests may also relax in inviting lounges or on open-air decks—spaces thoughtfully designed for you to spend your travel time exactly as you please.
