Aboard Silver Whisper with Silversea Cruises
Cruise Overview
Lights, sushi, manga!
Sprawling, frenetic, and endlessly fascinating, Japan’s capital is a city of contrasts.
Shrines and gardens are pockets of calm between famously crowded streets and soaring office buildings.
Mom-and-pop noodle houses share street space with Western-style chain restaurants and exquisite fine dining.
Shopping yields lovely folk arts as well as the newest electronics.
And nightlife kicks off with karaoke or sake and continues with techno clubs and more.
Whether you seek the traditional or the cutting edge, Tokyo will provide it.
Located on the calm waters of the Inland Sea, Kobe has served as an important port town for hundreds of years.
It was one of the first harbours to accept foreign traders in 1868 when Japan was just emerging from its centuries of isolation.
What followed was a surge of Western trade and exports.
Today, Kobe is quite multicultural, with expatriates from 98 different nations in residence, providing a cultural diversity most easily visible in restaurants serving every kind of cuisine, including the now world famous Kobe beef.
The Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995 set back Kobe’s development, but not for long.
Kobe emerged more vibrant than before - with additional attractions, hotels and urban redevelopment, and only a few remnants of the extensive damage.
It is a cosmopolitan place with lively shopping arcades, interesting museums, great restaurants, and a port that is still at the heart of things.
Kobe is well known for its nightlife, in an intimate quarter of neon lights, cosy bars and sophisticated nightclubs.
It also serves as the gateway to the ancient Japanese capitals of Kyoto and Nara.
