The Japan-America Society of Dallas/Fort Worth (JASDFW) has announced a special partnership with Japanet America, offering travelers exclusive benefits for the 2026 Journey Japan Luxury Cruise. The 15-day cruise provides two itinerary options: the All Japan Tour and the Western Japan Tour, each designed to blend iconic highlights with lesser-traveled regions for a deeply enriching experience. Both journeys include 10 nights aboard a luxury vessel, visits to multiple ports across Japan with one stop in South Korea, and pre- and post-cruise hotel stays in Yokohama, Kamakura, Tokyo, and Hakone.
As part of this partnership, JASDFW is offering exclusive perks for those who book through the society. Travelers can receive a 5% discount using code JASDFW2026, a complimentary "Japanese for Travelers" workshop valued at USD $120, and a one-year JASDFW membership included with each booking. "We are excited to provide our community with a unique and immersive way to experience Japan," said Lawrence P. Howorth, Chair of the Board of Directors of JASDFW. "This cruise offers a perfect balance of comfort, cultural enrichment, and unforgettable exploration — and our exclusive perks add even more value to the journey."
The cruise itineraries showcase destinations ranging from major cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama to quieter, culturally rich regions including Sado Island, Amami Oshima, Matsuyama, and Hakodate. With limited passenger capacity, curated shore excursions, upscale dining, and 24-hour room service, travelers can explore Japan at a relaxed pace while enjoying world-class amenities. The trip's combination of iconic landmarks and lesser-known locations provides a unique opportunity for travelers seeking a deep, meaningful experience of Japan beyond typical fast-paced tours.
This partnership underscores JASDFW's mission to connect North Texas and Japan by providing opportunities for friendship, understanding, and meaningful exchange.
