Why go
The port of the Takanabe Akizuki domain. Its Tachinui quarter is a national preservation district of shipping agents’ houses from the late Edo and Meiji periods. The Machinami Center and Mimitsu-ken are free, the History and Folklore Museum ¥220; all open 9:00–16:30 and close on Mondays, or the next day when Monday is a holiday.
Before you count on it
- 3 hr door to door needs a 5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
- No single published ride covers this one. Budget for a taxi both ways, or fold it into a guided day.
Where it is
Mimitsu old town and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.

Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
The one rule: be back on board 60 minutes before all-aboard. Build the whole day on the Hososhima plan page.
