Cruises visiting Kitayamazaki Coast (Japan)

To the north-east of Honshu, the largest island in the Japanese archipelago, you will discover the superb Kitayamazaki Coast. The magnificent cliffs topped with maritime pines, also called the “Ocean Alps”, overlook the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean. You will sail along this 8-km long (5 miles) jagged coastline and discover the caves and crevices, the traces of centuries of erosion that have shaped this stunning landscape. From the ocean, you will be mesmerised by the sight of the waves crashing endlessly against the steep inclines that stand 200 m (660 ft) tall.
