It features a selection of specially curated dishes showcasing some of his favourite ingredients, to create a meal that perfectly commemorates this auspicious occasion.Specially designed cocktails will be available to toast Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort, including a “Coronation Oath” made with Prosecco, White Vermouth, Grapefruit and Cardamom Bitters and a “Monarch Martini” using Cunard's 3 Queens Gin.All three ships will be at sea for the big day and will broadcast the ceremony live from Westminster Abbey into the ships' Royal Court Theatres and stateroom TVs. Queen Elizabeth guests will be just starting their nine-night tour of Southern Japan and Taiwan, visiting the stunningly beautiful island of Hualien and the idyllic tropical paradise of Miyakojima, while Queen Victoria will be returning from a 12-night voyage around the Canary Islands.A brand-new Coronation Celebration voyage was announced earlier this week, seeing Queen Mary 2 sail round-trip from Southampton on 2 May to Cunard's spiritual home port, Liverpool.Cunard's world-renowned Insights programme across the fleet will feature royal commentator Dickie Arbiter, historian Caroline Aston and etiquette expert Grant Harrold.Each ship will also host a deck walk in honour of The Big Help Out on Monday 8 May to raise money for youth charity The Prince's Trust, a proud partner of Cunard's for the past 15 years since the Queen Consort was named as godmother to Queen Victoria in 2007. This significant milestone will be celebrated on a special British Isles voyage in August. To date, thanks to the generosity of guests, crew and friends, Cunard has raised over £2.7 million for the Trust. The charity helps young people who have faced disadvantage and adversity to build a better future for themselves, through employment, education and enterprise.Cunard's royal connections date back to August 1861, when Prince Alfred sailed from Halifax to Liverpool on Cunard's SS Arabia. More recently, Cunard is immensely proud that members of the royal family have graced each of the ships in its fleet.Swan Hellenic's third and largest ship, SH Diana, sets sail for Arctic following Amsterdam Naming Ceremony CelebrationsThe cultural expedition cruise pioneer's third purpose-designed expedition cruise ship is now on her way to Tromsø for an 11-day cruise of fjord exploration that opens her Arctic season before she voyages worldwideOn the 4th of May 2023, Swan Hellenic announced that the Naming Ceremony of its third ice-class cultural expedition cruise ship, SH Diana, had taken place in Amsterdam.The purpose-designed new vessel was named by luxury travel visionary and icon Valerie Ann Wilson, Founder and CEO of Valerie Wilson Travel, in the presence of Swan Hellenic Senior Management, local dignitaries, VIP guests, the media and members of the cruise and travel industries from around the world.Silver Nova Floats Out: 12th Silversea Ship Nears Completion at Meyer WerftSilversea Cruises and the Meyer Werft shipyard celebrated the float out of the new ship Silver Nova℠ in Papenburg, Germany, on April 28, 2023. After water had filled the drydock, tugboats manoeuvred the vessel from one of the world's largest enclosed construction halls into the adjacent harbour. Set to become the 12th ship in the leading ultra-luxury cruise line's fleet when she launches in summer 2023, Silver Nova will be the most environmentally conscious ultra-luxury cruise ship ever built.Excitement ran high among onlookers at the Meyer Werft shipyard as the construction hall's doors parted ahead of the ship's repositioning. In a matter of hours, Silver Nova was positioned alongside the pier in the neighbouring harbour basin, where the fitting out phase will continue. Commemorating the important milestone and in observance of shipbuilding traditions, Captain Cosimo Pontillo welded a special coin to a wall on the pool deck, which will remain visible to the ship's future guests as a symbol of good luck. Meyer Werft's skilled craftspeople cleaned the ship's hull, attached her funnel, and installed her LNG and radar masts. Unique to the Meyer Werft shipyard, Silver Nova's next journey—scheduled for the end of May—will entail a conveyance of 32km (approximately 20 miles) down the narrow Ems River to the sea.Currently under construction in Papenburg as the first of two Nova class ships, the 728-guest Silver Nova is set to become the most sustainable ultra-luxury ship ever launched when she joins Silversea's fleet in summer 2023. Silver Nova will represent the next iteration of Silversea's unique take on luxury, with the largest choice of bars, restaurants, and lounges in ultra-luxury cruising; some of the most spacious guest suites at sea; and a range of innovative features—including an asymmetrical design and horizontal layout—that are unprecedented for the leading ultra-luxury cruise line.Cunard Celebrates The Float Out of Queen Anne4 May 2023 –the world's most iconic luxury cruise brand celebrated a momentous construction milestone today with the float out of Queen Anne at the Fincantieri Marghera shipyard in Venice, Italy.The 249th ship to sail under the Cunard flag, Queen Anne officially touched water for the first time exactly 365 days before she will set sail on her maiden voyage to Lisbon on 3 May 2024.Steeped in tradition, the float out is marked by a special ceremony where a ‘Madrina' is named to offer blessings and best wishes for the ship, celebrating the flow of water into the ship's dry dock.The float out, completes the first comprehensive phase of construction for Queen Anne, which now transitions to focus on building the luxury ship's interiors.Queen AnneThe design concepts for Cunard's newest ship have been founded on heritage, craftmanship, style, storytelling, and innovation, and the 113,000-ton, 3,000-guest Queen Anne, which spans 14 decks, will offer travellers several breath-taking moments, including the largest curated art collection at sea.For more than 180 years, Cunard has constantly refined the definitive experience of ocean travel, and Queen Anne will be bursting with Cunard's signature experiences, including world-class dining, exceptional entertainment, and luxurious accommodation.Entering service in May 2024, Queen Anne will make up a remarkable quartet for Cunard alongside Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth. It will be the first time since 1999 that Cunard will have four ships in simultaneous service.The float out ceremony follows September's iconic keel laying, in which a coin was embedded into the ship's keel by Captain Inger Thorhauge, alongside an original coin from the ship's namesake's reign, to mark the formal start of her construction.Holland America Line Announces First Grand Voyage ‘Pole-to-Pole' Cruise Roundtrip from the U.S.Holland America Line will sail what is believed to be the first ever Grand Voyage “Pole-to-Pole” roundtrip from the United States in 2025.

On this episode of Heritage on Tour, host Dana Cowin brings us to Kokura, on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan. Drawn by one chef and his intimate connection to the land and sea (within ten miles of his restaurant), Cowin gets a memorable taste of spring at restaurant Sato and talks through her favorite dishes with translator Shima Pezeu. Number one by far: blowfish tails, deep fried and served like Kentucky Fried Chicken. In last place: blowfish sperm sacks, sticky, milky white and hard to handle. Listen in for a tantalizing trip through mountain vegetables, live fish and more. Heritage Network On Tour is powered by Simplecast.

We went to a transgender Japanese live show here in Japan where we saw transgender Japanese people singing and dancing. The show is called Anmitsu Hime and it's been around in Southern Japan for over 35 years. In this Hello from Nihon episode we talk about the show, how transgender people are treated in Japan and how societal norms are changing in Japan.

In this episode of the podcast, Michael and Astara are back to chat with Ryan Buyco, PhD Candidate at Cornell, about his Gatty Lecture, which was an overview of his dissertation research on the small island archipelago of Okinawa in Southern Japan. They chat about transpacific studies, Ryan's time doing fieldwork in the Philippines and Okinawa, and what he hopes to take on in the future. 

The enchanted island of Miyajima lies on the Seto Inland Sea in Southern Japan. It is famous for the World Heritage listed Itsukushima Shrine. At high tide the whole temple looks like it is floating on the water and the giant Torii gate is said to be a point of connection between the spirit and physical worlds, a place you can pass back and forth between these two planes of existence. Just a short walk from the shrine itself is the little wooded valley of Momijidani. There you will find the beautiful Iwaso Hotel and just up from there an extraordinarily beautiful bright red bridge over an idyllic set of waterfalls. This recording was taken just a few steps into the forest from this set of manicured yet natural waterfalls on a clear, moon-lit night towards the end of summer.

Masayoshi Son is already one of the Japan's most successful businessmen, and now he's making his biggest gamble yet: To invest a record $100 billion in the technology that will power our future. This week, Bloomberg Technology's Peter Elstrom and Brad Stone trace the life of the billionaire, from his childhood as an immigrant and outsider in Southern Japan to the huge risks that Son took to grow SoftBank into an ever larger company. Peter and Brad also play some old tapes of Son from 30 years ago, back when he was a relatively unknown entrepreneur, that have never been released before.

Geoff and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his film The Missing Tourist, closure, mental health issues, forest bathing and the bigger mystery that we find ourselves in. Trailer Watch the film here. Synopsis: The Missing Tourist tells the story of Atsumi’s mysterious disappearance and the urgent missing person investigation that followed, and unfurled with the RCMP announcing that the 45-year-old doctor ‘arrived in Yellowknife with a plan to go into the wilderness alone and become a missing person.’ Tracing Atsumi’s journey from a small prefecture in Southern Japan to the wilderness of the Northwest Territories, the film explores the ways in which we experience missing person stories, while bringing closure to one of the most puzzling mysteries to hit the Canadian North. “The film is about the journey to find closure, something that’s very difficult when there’s an absence of information,” said director Geoff Morrison. “This story made headlines at the time because it was a mystery and because it unfolded in an unusual way, and because there weren’t any clear answers. The documentary sheds new light on the investigation and goes beyond the events covered in the news to find out what really happened.” Biography Working in fiction, documentary and interactive media, Geoff’s work has screened at festivals and venues all over the world including the Berlinale, TIFF, Rotterdam, SXSW, BAFICI, Hot Docs, and the MoMA in New York. Geoff’s feature debut as co-writer/co-director/co-producer, No Heart Feelings, was released to much acclaim in 2010, and was hailed, “A quiet triumph,” by The Globe and Mail. In 2011, with his company FilmCAN he released, The National Parks Project, a cross-platform media arts project that features 13 short films, a 13-part documentary series for the Discovery Channel, a 65-track music release, and an acclaimed interactive piece. Geoff’s work producing and creating The National Parks Project earned him a Genie Award, Gemini Award, and several acknowledgements for the project’s interactive and cross-platform integration. His next project with FilmCAN, Northwords, was released in 2012 with connected film, radio, eBook and interactive components. The film won Best Documentary at the Banff World Media International Pilot Competition and has been sold to CBC Documentary and the Knowledge Network. His latest documentary projects include Mackenzie’s Tributaries – winner of the Planet in Focus Green Pitch Award, and Beyond the Horizon, which has its world premiere at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. Geoff is an alumni of the Berlinale Talent Campus and Queen’s University’s Film Studies program. He’s currently writing and developing several scripted and documentary projects with Big Cedar Films. ---------- For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site here.
