Lively Tokyo is the departure point for this epic journey that visits two continents. But before we cross the International Dateline and make our way to North America, we’ve a few captivating places to explore along the coast of Japan. First Hitachinaka, a young city renowned for its blossom-filled oceanfront park, then Aomori with its apple and cherry orchards set against the Hakkoda Mountains. In Hakodate, sip tea looking over the rose garden at the Former British Consulate, and in Kushiro see red-crowned cranes, which thrive on the marshes. Now we take to the ocean wave, sailing to Alaska. Our first stop is Kodiak, where natural delights include bald eagles soaring overhead, and there’s also lots of history to delve into in the main town’s museums. The harbor at Homer then promises tales of pioneer life, before we arrive at our destination, Seward, on glittering Resurrection Bay.

Grand Journey

Japan&#39;s capital, Tokyo, and its bustling port of Yokohama form a vast urban complex that boasts a unique combination of energy and orderliness. Fusing the vitality of a modern metropolis with the stately elegance of yesteryear, Tokyo is truly unique. From the timeless beauty of the Meiji Shrine to the glittering Ginza district and impressive Tokyo Tower, this international giant is a complex blend of East and West. Houses of wood and paper stand beside towering steel skyscrapers, while kimono-clad women stroll beside teenagers who have created a fashion all their own. The timeless Imperial Palace bears testament to Japan&#39;s enduring traditions. Despite encroaching urban development, it continues to exist in a verdant parkland of isolation. Images of the vibrant metropolis of Tokyo, which is home to more than 11 million people, will create memories of a lifetime.

With its apple orchards, cherry trees and backdrop of the Hakkōda Mountains, this city on the northern tip of Honshu island is a gateway to some of Japan&rsquo;s most beautiful landscapes. About 30 miles south is UNESCO World Heritage Site Shirakami Sanchi, a mountainous area with the last of East Asia&rsquo; virgin beech forests. Walking trails here lead to waterfalls and lakes, and you may spot golden eagles, black woodpeckers, Japanese macaques and even shy black bears as you go. Some 40 miles southeast, deep-blue Lake Towada is serenely breathtaking and offers gentle activities from walking to canoeing and boat rides. The Aomori area also enjoys a vibrant contemporary arts scene, from the gleaming white Aomori Museum of Art, complete with a colossal dog statue by Yoshitomo Nara, to the Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art, strikingly set in a former brewery, and Towada Art Center with eye-popping sculpture.

On the northern shores of Honshu, Maizuru commands glorious views across the bay and its islands, a spectacle you can truly appreciate from the top of the city&#39;s Goro Sky Tower. But this place has an intriguing history to discover, too. Once a quiet fishing village, the port transformed into one of the most significant naval bases in Japan, with a military heritage you can explore at museums including one dedicated to the experience of soldiers repatriated to their home country after the war. There are temples to marvel at, too, such as Kongo-in with its ancient, three-storied pagoda, and, for contrast, head west to the Amanohashidate sandbar, a two-mile-long isthmus with white sands backed by pine trees. Maizuru is also a good base for trips to Kyoto, Japan&#39;s capital for several centuries, which is famed for its traditional culture and Buddhist and Shinto architecture.

If you&#39;re going on a bear hunt, there are few better places to do – the 3,500 Kodiak bears on this island equates to one every 0.7 square mile. You&#39;ll find this unique sub-species of brown bear and mainland grizzly reaching a paw into a salmon-rich river or ambling about the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge – its pristine forests and meadows explain why Kodiak&#39;s moniker is the Emerald Isle. This could equally be called the fishing island, with halibut, salmon, and king crab all found in the waters lapping its shores. And don&#39;t forget the whales – this is one of Alaska&#39;s best places to watch them.

With snow-ringed peaks and the icy-blue waters of Kachemak Bay as a backdrop to paintbox-bright wooden buildings on stilts, Homer is known as a creative hub for good reason. Do an art crawl of the galleries from Pioneer Avenue to the end of the 4.5-mile Spit to see works rendered in paper, beads and glass, and afterwards feast on catch of the day at one of the restaurants on the shoreline (this is the halibut fishing capital of the world). The wilderness is never too far away in Alaska: here, sightings could include bears digging for clams at low tide and eagles soaring overhead.

Embark on a journey to the breathtaking wilderness of Seward, Alaska. This charming coastal town, nestled at the edge of the Kenai Peninsula, offers a rare and unforgettable experience for nature lovers. Immerse yourself in the stunning scenery of Kenai Fjords National Park, featuring towering glaciers, and pristine coastal fjords. Explore the rich history of the area, including the legacy of the indigenous Alutiiq people, and visit the Alaska SeaLife Center to witness the abundance of marine life in the Gulf of Alaska.
