Day 1

seoul (incheon),south korea

Departure: 16:00

Incheon is a historically and economically significant city for Koreans. During the Korean War, it was the site of the Incheon Landing by American forces. Today, Incheon is a metropolitan city of about 2.8 million people, politically independent from Seoul. It also serves as a major transportation hub by air and sea, with a large harbor and one of the world’s best international airports. Several beautiful islands, such as Yeongjong Island and Ganghwa Island, also lie within the city limits. The city’s profile continues to rise as various national projects are developed in Incheon. The New Songdo City project, the most expensive real estate development in Korean history, is planned for completion in 2015. One of the world’s tallest twin-tower complexes, the 151 Incheon Tower, is under early construction, and Korea’s current tallest building, the Northeast Asia Trade Tower, has already been completed. Incheon is planning additional self-contained mini-cities for shopping, housing, and education. Alongside these real estate projects, Incheon will welcome large numbers of visitors for the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. Despite these developments, the Songdo area of Incheon is still unfinished and largely uninhabited, and is not yet a strong destination for tourists. Travelers are more likely to enjoy the bustling eastern side of Incheon, which blends seamlessly into the vast urban area of Seoul.

Day 3

sakaiminato - japan

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 15:00

Sakaiminato is a city in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. An imperial decree in July 1899 established the nearby port of Sakai as an open port for trade with the United States and the United Kingdom. Sakaiminato itself was founded on April 1, 1956. A proposed merger with Yonago and other neighboring municipalities was rejected in a local vote, so Sakaiminato remained an independent city. Sakaiminato is the hometown of Shigeru Mizuki, creator of the manga series GeGeGe no Kitaro. The city’s Kitaro Road is dedicated to the characters from Mizuki’s works, with around one hundred bronze statues of them lining both sides of the street. Sakaiminato is also the birthplace of photographer Shoji Ueda, who lived and worked there and operated his own studio in the city.

Day 9

nagoya

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 16:00

Nagoya, Japan’s fourth-largest city, blends modern industry with deep-rooted tradition. Often overlooked in favor of Tokyo or Kyoto, it rewards visitors with spacious boulevards, excellent museums, and lighter crowds. Historically linked to the Tokugawa shogunate, the city still reflects that legacy: orderly, proud, and quietly refined. Start at Nagoya Castle, famous for its golden shachihoko (mythical tiger-fish) on the roof. The reconstructed main keep and the beautifully restored Honmaru Palace showcase lavish samurai-era interiors and offer insight into feudal power and aesthetics. Then head to the Tokugawa Art Museum, home to armor, swords, and refined tea ceremony utensils once owned by the ruling Tokugawa family, all set beside a beautifully landscaped Japanese garden. Nagoya’s spiritual heart is Atsuta Jingu, one of Shinto’s most important shrines. Surrounded by a tranquil wooded park, it offers a peaceful retreat from city life and a chance to see traditional rituals and seasonal festivals. By contrast, the Osu district hums with energy: a mix of old temples, vintage shops, arcades, and manga stores that captures the feel of contemporary urban Japan. Food is a major highlight, with Nagoya’s own distinctive “Nagoya-meshi” cuisine. Don’t miss hitsumabushi (grilled eel over rice, eaten in three different ways), miso katsu (pork cutlet topped with a rich red miso sauce), and tebasaki (crispy, seasoned chicken wings). Thanks to its central location and excellent rail connections, Nagoya also makes a convenient base for day trips to places like Inuyama, Gifu, and the Japanese Alps, creating a stay that combines history, culture, and modern comfort.

kyoto (osaka), japan

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 18:00

Kyoto, for over a thousand years, served as the capital of Japan and is likely the best-preserved city in the country. It is a beautiful, vibrant city where modern life intersects with traditional Japan. Nestled among the mountains of Western Honshu, Kyoto is an ideal base for exploring the Kansai region. The city is rich in heritage sites and culture, offering a wide variety of restaurants and is relatively easy to navigate. The city's rich culture and heritage are evident in its architecture and customs. Kyoto is home to thousands of temples and shrines, including the stunning golden Kinkaku-ji, Ryoanji with its Zen garden, the popular Kiyomizu-dera, Sanjusangendo with its life-size statues of Kannon, and the more serene Tenryu-ji in Arashiyama. Also located in Arashiyama is the famous Bamboo Grove. A delightful activity in Kyoto is a walking tour of Gion, one of the main Geisha districts, where wooden buildings and lanterns create the perfect ambiance. Kyoto is one of the world's greatest historical cities, filled with temples, shrines, teahouses, and imperial residences. Steeped in culture and heritage, Kyoto is a must-visit for anyone interested in Japanese history and culture.
