Ship counts are counted line by line from the official schedule of Kochi Prefecture Port Promotion Division (as of September 28, 2026); dates and times from Kochi Prefecture Port Promotion Division (FY2026 schedule + FY2025/FY2026 actuals PDFs). Schedules shift — ships cancel for weather, ports add late calls — so treat this as the season's shape and your cruise line's documents as the letter.
