Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Ensure your cruise is long enough and jam-packed with Japanese ports

✓Plan what you're actually going to see in the ports to avoid repetitive excursions

✓Include a mix of World War II sites, shrines and temples, castles, Japanese gardens, and iconic landscapes

✓Check if sites are authentic and not reconstructions

✓Plan a pre or post day in Tokyo to see everything

✓Consider self touring as it is easier than expected and more immersive
