Featured destination: Japan - A hot cruising destination

For many years, Japan was "terra incognita" on the world cruising map. Few cruisers came to Japan and those who did typically passed through quickly, south to north, on their way to Alaska/British Columbia.

It was not a destination in its own right. However, since the global pandemic (and with the recent, dramatic depreciation of the yen), more and more cruisers are looking at this country as a place they want to visit. In this report Kirk Patterson, who runs Konpira Consulting for yachts, tells why Japan is now a "hot" destination.
