Experience Japan with Windstar

Enjoy an complimentary upgrade to Windstar's All-Inclusive experience when you explore Japan on their newest yacht. 

Japan from a Fresh Perspective.

The Japanese find beauty in simplicity and the everyday. The act of sharing tea becomes a performance, cuisine is as much about presentation as preparation, and even broken things become art through concepts like wabi-sabi, which honors imperfection and transience. Respect, harmony, and connection to nature are key, and you may find yourself with a renewed sense of mindfulness as you look at the world as they do: stare up at ancient, gnarled pine trees so sacred they’ve been given names, gaze across reflective waters at vermillion torii gates, and give meditation a try as you “sand bathe” in naturally heated volcanic sands while listening to the hypnotic sound of the wave.
