Many cruisers are hesitant to sail Japan—especially in light of Sailing La Vagabonde’s recent video about the challenges, including their collision with a fishing vessel. But while it’s true that Japan presents unique hurdles, the rewards far outweigh the risks.

From jaw-dropping scenery and Michelin-star-worthy cuisine to a history that spans millennia and some of the safest cruising waters in the world, Japan offers an experience unlike any other. But what truly sets it apart? The PEOPLE. 💕

Japanese hospitality is extraordinary, driven by a cultural duty to welcome visitors with kindness. However, this generosity comes with a responsibility: cruisers must be ultra-sensitive, respectful, and careful not to take advantage of this goodwill. 🤝

Yes, sailing in Japan requires preparation—agents, permits, and local help are essential—but the payoff is unparalleled. If you approach it right, Japan will not just meet your expectations; it will exceed them. 🌸

What do you think—would you sail Japan?

Pacific Solo

Hi, I`m Lowell, a 67-year-old rookie sailor, and a never-too-later! I preparing myself for the biggest challenge of my life: a solo journey across the North Pacific. I am a Canadian living in Japan, and in 2019, I purchased Wahine, a 1988 Gib Sea 402. I moved on board while she was moored in Tokyo. In March 2021, I terminated my contract with the Marina and have been cruising Japan full time since gaining valuable experience all the while working remotely from the boat. Wahine is my home, my studio, and my lab. Join me on my learning voyage around Japan, trying to prepare myself for Pacific Solo. If you want to see where I am please go to my website and click on the Where`s Wahine Button at https://www.pacificsolo.com Also, if you are a fellow never-too-later check out www.nevertoolateacademy.com PSThe History Channel asked if they follow me into various remote ports for a new series called Dare to Dream. The pilot airs in Japan July 24th at 8pm.
