- Room to spare
- Fits an 8-hour stop with nothing to add (off the ship 30 minutes after arrival, back at the gangway an hour before all-aboard). A longer call gives you the extra time; on this one, do not add a stop.
- What it costs
- For the taxi; five and a half hours comes to about ¥30,600, or pay by the meter between stops. Seafood bowl price not confirmed. Mimitsu’s houses are free.
