Across the city, on a peninsula in the sea, stands the rugged silhouette of the over one-thousand-meter-high volcano Sakurajima, with smoke constantly rising from its jagged crater. Kagoshima holds the memory of the Jesuits in high regard, as they facilitated Japan`s first real contact with the West in the 16th century, which is reflected in many monuments throughout the city.

The traditional Chagalchi Fish Market is Korea`s liveliest market, offering freshly caught seafood and fish specialties. Taejongdae provides a magnificent view of the East Sea, featuring a beautifully situated bizarre rock formation with a large plateau. The city museum "Pokchon-dong" showcases Busan`s history from the 4th century onwards.

Day 8: Hiroshima (Honshu), Japan. Arrival time: 09:00. Departure time: 19:00. Duration of port stay: 10 hours.

The ruins of the former Industrial Promotion Hall, with its exposed steel dome, were left standing as a memorial.
Near the Genbaku Dome is the Children`s Peace Monument, inspired by Sadako Sasaki, one of the most famous victims of the disaster who died of leukemia as a result of the atomic bomb dropping. In Peace Park Heiwa Koen, there is also the Atomic Bomb Museum and a memorial grave with an eternal flame.

Day 10: Tokyo (Honshu), Japan. Arrival time: 08:00. Tokyo, the capital of Japan with almost 8 million inhabitants, combines tradition and progress. Buddhist temples coexist with Shinto cultural facilities and skyscrapers. In peaceful alleys, you can find kimonos, fans, and carved miniature figurines, not far from modern banking districts and upscale architectural masterpieces. Relaxation can be found in the spectacular Koraku Garden with replicas of Japanese landscapes, while thrill-seekers can head to the fish market where fish can be auctioned off. The largest Japanese museum, the National Museum, houses over 90,000 art objects. In 1958, the Japanese built a replica of the Eiffel Tower, which now stands taller than the original as the Tokyo Tower, at 333 meters high.
Other attractions: Meiji Shrine, Kaisergarten and Palace, City Hall, Capsule Hotel with accommodation in "drawers", Asakusa Kannon Temple, Temple gardens in Kamakura.
