Stretching some 500 miles along the Alaska Panhandle, the Inside Passage is a pristine wilderness of fjord-like channels. It winds its way through a vast maze of islands laden with emerald-green forests and strewn with glistening glaciers. Nature is at her most magnificent here, tranquil and hushed. Unspoiled waterways weave their way past tiny coastal villages and a breathtaking array of snowcapped mountains and pine-covered hills.

Ketchikan is set among the soaring coastal mountains and sloping woodlands of the Tongass National Forest. The gateway into America's 49th state, it is known to travelers journeying north by ship as Alaska's "First City" and the "Salmon Capital of the World" for its thriving fishing industry. Ketchikan also embraces its rich and enduring Tlingit heritage; it is home to the most standing totem poles anywhere in the world. The artful icons are sprinkled throughout the town as well as its parks and cultural centers. ... Read More
Sitka has long been inhabited by the indigenous Tlingit people. Fur trading brought Russian settlers here in 1799 as part of a colonial merchant company. The town grew to become the capital of Russian Alaska, and remains of those days can be found in the Russian Orthodox Cathedral and the Russian Bishop's House, the latter built by the Tlingit with guidance from Finnish carpenters in the 1840s. Today's Sitka is a delight to explore by foot, its streets dotted with inviting art galleries displaying artwork inspired by the region's natural beauty and rich heritage. ... Read More

Yakutat, United States
Surrounded by glacier-carved mountains and fed by the enormous Hubbard Glacier, Yakutat Bay spreads some 18 miles across at its widest point. On calm days, snow-covered slopes are reflected in the mirror-like bay, casting the entire scene in a soft, icy azure glow. Disenchantment Bay extends farther inland like a finger; at its farthest point, Hubbard Glacier creeps seaward from its source five miles away. The ice at the water's edge began its journey from near Mt. Walsh more than 400 years ago in the early 1600s. ... Read More

Valdez, USA
Valdez enjoys a breathtaking setting at the tip of a deep-cut fjord in Prince William Sound. The glacial Chugach Mountains rise up all around the city, adding to its scenic allure. In its early days, the promise of gold attracted explorers and seekers of wealth, but the land proved barren. The town finally experienced its economic boom as North America's northernmost ice-free port. Today, it is the southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline that carries oil south from Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic coast. ... Read More

Kodiak, United States
Kodiak plays an outsize role on its namesake island home, known as Alaska's "Emerald Isle" for its green hillsides. It is the island's only link to the outside world, so all goods enter and leave through its port. Inhabited by Alutiiq natives for more than 7,000 years, it became the capital of Russian Alaska in the 18th century. Sea otter pelts were the major commodity of export until the animal was almost hunted to extinction. Today, the sea otter thrives here once again. ... Read More

The state's famed soaring mountains dominate the landscape, their ravines and peaks draped with snow. Lush green forests spill down steep slopes and gleaming tidewater glaciers stand like white monoliths at the water's edge. The tiny outpost towns and villages that dot the shoreline still rely on the sea for their livelihood, offering a glimpse into life in this unspoiled region. ... Read More

Dutch Harbor, United States
Known simply as "Dutch" to locals, the charming town of Dutch Harbor is nestled on Unalaska, one of the Aleutian Islands. The Aleut people called this picturesque place home for nearly 10,000 years-long before the arrival of the Europeans. During the mid-1700s, Russia began trading furs and established a settlement here, trading as the Russian-American Company. The Holy Ascension Russian Orthodox Church, featuring its iconic onion domes, remains a recognizable landmark in Dutch Harbor and is a symbol of Russian influence on Aleut culture to this day. ...

Otaru, Japan
Sapporo is renowned for its traditional cuisine, green spaces, revered shrines, and market culture. The city was developed with the help of President Ulysses S. Grant's commissioner of agriculture, who became an oyatoi gaikokujin, a foreign adviser, at Grant's request.

Tsugaru Strait, Japan
The Tsugaru Strait links the Sea of Japan to the Pacific Ocean, flowing between Japan's two major islands-Honshu to the south and Hokkaido to the north.

Halfway through, a broad channel flows into Honshu to form Mutsu Bay. At the strait's other narrow point, the small town of Oma rests on the northernmost tip of Honshu; opposite, Hokkaido's Hakodate, with its namesake mountain watching over, is one of Japan's most modern cities. ...

Tokyo is a spellbinding blend of neon splendor and tranquil Shinto shrines, towering skyscrapers and meditative Zen gardens.

Tokyoites embrace the traditional and the cosmopolitan here, both worshipping at the city's Asakusa Kannon Temple and frequenting the high-end retail stores of the Ginza district, all while the distant symmetrical cone of Mt. Fuji watches over the city. ... Read More

Look to the skies and admire its ever-changing skyline with towering buildings in every corner of the city. Observation platforms feature in many, including Mori Tower or the Metropolitan Government Building. ... Read More
Located for centuries on the site of modern-day Tokyo, the small fishing village of Edo grew into a city during the Tokugawa period, when it became the capital of the Tokugawa shogunate. It became the capital of Japan during the Meiji Restoration of the mid-19th century and was renamed Tokyo, meaning "eastern capital". Japan's largest city since the 17th century, Tokyo's population exceeded one million during the late 19th century, and as the country's political, economic, and cultural center, it has become one of the world's most populous cities. ...

Shimizu, Japan
Shimizu is a scenic city set on Suruga Bay, watched over by Mount Fuji. It has long been a thriving harbor town and prospered during the Edo period.

Hiroshima, Japan
Hiroshima was founded in 1589 and grew to become one of Japan's most important educational and industrial centers. Military supplies were later exported from here, an industry that would seal the city's fate at the end of World War II, when an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. It is hard to imagine the destruction today, so modern and forward-looking are its streets and its people. In Peace Memorial Park, the hollowed dome of the former Industrial Promotion Hall symbolizes the city's hope that nuclear weapons will never be used again. ... Read More

Hiroshima, Japan
Hiroshima's delta is dived into a number of islets. It was upon one of these islets that Mori Terumoto (1553-1625), a feudal lord who ruled over much of the Chugoku region, constructed Hiroshima Castle. This solidified the city as a jokamachi (castle town). Although the castle had successfully survived into the 20th century, it was unable to withstand the atomic bombing of the city during World War II. In 1958, Hiroshima Castle was restored to its original splendor, complete with a main keep and moat. Today, it houses a museum providing insight into the city's rich history. ... Read More
