Apra Harbor on Guam provides entry to the largest Mariana island, where Chamorro culture, World War II history, and tropical Pacific beauty converge. Must-do experiences include visiting the War in the Pacific National Historical Park, diving the unique side-by-side German and Japanese wrecks in the harbor, and sampling Chamorro kelaguen at the Wednesday night village market. January through June offers the driest conditions on this warm, tropical island.
Saipan is the largest island of the Northern Mariana Islands, where some of the Pacific's finest diving sites—including the world-renowned Grotto cavern—share the tropical landscape with deeply moving World War II battlefields and ancient Chamorro latte stone ruins. Must-do experiences include diving the cathedral-like Grotto, visiting the sobering Suicide and Banzai Cliff memorials, and snorkeling the calm western lagoon's coral gardens. December through June provides the driest conditions for this year-round tropical destination, where extraordinary natural beauty and profound historical significance coexist with uncommon intensity.
Pagan is an uninhabited volcanic island in the Northern Mariana Islands, abandoned after a violent 1981 eruption that left a dramatic landscape of ash fields, jungle-reclaimed villages, and two conjoined stratovolcanoes still venting steam. Key experiences include exploring the abandoned settlement from Zodiac landing craft, diving the pristine reefs surrounding the isolated island, and witnessing the raw geological power of an active volcanic landscape. April through June offers the calmest seas, though access requires expedition vessel and government authorization to visit this extraordinarily remote Pacific outpost.
Minami-Tori-shima also known as Marcus Island, is an isolated Japanese coral atoll in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, located some 1,848 kilometers (1,148 mi) .

Shimizu is Japan's premier Mount Fuji gateway port on Suruga Bay, where a storied tea-trading heritage meets exceptional coastal cuisine — most notably the prized sakura ebi cherry blossom shrimp found nowhere else. Visitors should not miss the UNESCO-listed Miho no Matsubara pine grove for iconic Fuji views and the vibrant Kashi no Ichi fish market for the freshest tuna and whitebait in Japan. The ideal window stretches from late March through May, when cherry blossoms frame the snowcapped volcano and spring's first tea harvest perfumes the hillsides.
Ōshima is a volcanic island in Tokushima Prefecture where dramatic Pacific sea cliffs meet warm Kuroshio Current waters that support coral formations and exceptional bonito fishing traditions. Must-do experiences include tasting straw-seared katsuo-no-tataki bonito from the morning's catch, snorkeling the current-warmed coral reefs, and watching traditional pole-and-line fishing techniques unchanged for centuries. June through September offers the warmest marine conditions, while spring and autumn bring peak bonito season for this intimate Pacific island experience.

Toba, on Japan's Shima Peninsula, is the birthplace of cultured pearl farming and home to the ancient Ama free-diving tradition, where women have harvested the sea for over two thousand years. Must-dos include meeting Ama divers at seaside huts, visiting Mikimoto Pearl Island, and feasting on Ise-ebi lobster and fresh abalone. Spring and autumn offer the best weather and prime seafood seasons.

Takamatsu is Shikoku's gateway city to the art-island-studded Seto Inland Sea, home to the magnificent Ritsurin Garden and Japan's finest sanuki udon noodles. Must-dos include an early-morning boat ride in Ritsurin Garden, eating udon at a family-run counter shop, and ferrying to Naoshima for world-class contemporary art. Visit in spring or autumn for ideal weather and island-hopping conditions.

Kochi, on Japan's island of Shikoku, is a Pacific coast port city renowned for its remarkably preserved 17th-century castle, vibrant Hirome Market food hall, and the iconic katsuo no tataki — straw-seared skipjack tuna that defines the region's bold culinary identity. Visitors should not miss exploring the castle grounds and savouring sawachi communal platters paired with crisp Tosa sake. The best time to visit is spring for mild weather and cherry blossoms, or autumn when typhoon season has passed and the yuzu harvest perfumes the countryside.

Miyajima, Japan, offers an immersion in a culture where aesthetic refinement and daily life are inseparable. Essential experiences include exploring local food markets, tasting regional specialties at intimate eateries, and visiting the surrounding temples and gardens. The port is most rewarding October through April, when cooler temperatures and lower humidity create ideal conditions. Cruise lines including Hapag-Lloyd Cruises feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.

Yakushima is a UNESCO-listed island south of Kyushu where ancient cedar forests up to seven thousand years old inspired Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke. Must-dos include hiking to the Jōmon Sugi cedar, exploring moss-draped forests at Yakusugi Land, and tasting grilled flying fish. March through May and October through November balance lower rainfall with comfortable temperatures.

Kobe is Japan's most cosmopolitan port city, famous worldwide for its exquisitely marbled beef, nestled between the Rokko Mountains and Osaka Bay with a fascinating heritage quarter of Victorian foreign residences. Must-dos include authentic Kobe beef teppanyaki, the Nada sake breweries, and a visit to Arima Onsen hot springs. Cherry blossom season (late March–April) and autumn foliage are the most spectacular visiting periods.
