Japan’s Luxurious Floating Hotel

Japan’s first floating hotel is a cruise ship like no other. Designed by renowned architect Yasushi Horibe, Guntu sets sail around the serene Setouchi inland sea for the first time this September. Named after the flavourful blue crab found in the destination famous for its fresh sea food, Guntu also treats guests to freshly caught fish and sushi prepared by the hotel’s accomplished chefs. Leaving from Onomichi, the floating hotel also has tender boats on hand, giving guests the opportunity to explore nearby islands and coastline. The floating hotel offers luxury travel at its finest, with 19 exclusive rooms providing even the most seasoned traveller with a truly unique experience.

We Are Japan also offers a rare glimpse into Japanese culture with some of the most immersive and impressive theatre in the world. With an exclusive insight into the world of Kabuki theatre, guests can experience the awe-inspiring process undertaken by Japan’s most skilled performers, actors, artists and musicians. Every aspect of a Kabuki performance is painstakingly crafted, with traditional make-up, otherworldly set designs, and elaborate costumes all perfected to honour the tradition of kabuki theatre, established over hundreds of years.
