National Parks of Japan

Daisen-Oki National Park comprises islands and a mainland area with a coast and mountain range. Home to shrines and sacred mountains, it's been the setting of Japanese myths. Join us on a cruise with spectacular sights and a trek across the mainland, where we observe a daily morning ritual at Miho Shrine and climb the majestic Mt. Daisen.

Akan-Mashu National Park is located in Japan's northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido. It's home to Lake Akan, Lake Kussharo and Lake Mashu, 3 unique lakes formed by repeated volcanic activity. Join us as we take in its stunning winter sights and learn about the indigenous Ainu culture, which was influenced by the surrounding nature.

Towada-Hachimantai National Park was shaped through volcanic activity. It comprises a mystical lake, a nature-filled gorge and numerous marshes. Nature and humans have worked hand in hand to preserve this natural heritage, showcase Lake Towada's imposing beauty, and restore the bloom to Mt. Hachimantai's marshland.

Keramashoto National Park comprises more than 30 islands and is known for its highly transparent waters called the Kerama Blue and its coral population. The coral, which supports a thriving marine ecosystem, is protected from predators by local volunteers. The region also boasts a unique culture from its past as the Ryukyu Kingdom.
