Why we would book it for you
- The record opens with 'Welcome to Omaezaki' and says people from the community around Omaezaki Port put the day together.
- Zen meditation, how to pay respects at a temple, mizuhiki craft, making your own drumsticks and a short taiko performance, with interpretation included.
- An air-conditioned vehicle and all experience fees are included, and it is suitable for all fitness levels.
Best for: Passengers who want a short, local morning with the people of the port town rather than a long drive.

Before you book
What if our ship is late?
The operator's own cancellation terms: "For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time." Tell the guide your all-aboard time when you book and again when you meet; a late arrival is the time to use that margin, not to shorten the hour before all-aboard.
Do we pay now?
Most Viator listings let you reserve now and pay later, and cancel free up to 24 hours before the start. The listing says which applies to this one.
Where exactly do we meet?
Meeting point in the listing. The operator's words: The record names no address, only 'the sign displaying the tour name will be your landmark'; confirm the meeting point in writing when you book.. There is no pickup from the ship: allow the walk or ride from the gangway in your timing.
Is it all right for someone who walks slowly?
It is a shared experience of up to 15, with one review so far. The record names no address; the meeting point is 'the sign displaying the tour name'. Gratuities are extra. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.
