Cherry trees flank Hakodate’s massive star-shaped fortress of Goryokaku, now a serene public park, while a different but equally enchanting scene awaits on a stroll through the diverse ecosystems of Kushiro Shitsugen National Park, home to rare bird species. Then relax by the infinity pool, in the spa or on your private terrace aboard Luminara as you sail for the Alaskan wilderness, including the wildlife refuge on Kodiak Island.
