Why Zen and local culture from Omaezaki is famous
Viator lists five products for the Omaezaki catalogue, and only one starts in Omaezaki. It is a 2 h 30 min Zen and local-culture experience, from about US$97, with a single review. The others start in Shizuoka city, 50 km away, and were written for Shimizu calls. Holland America's own tours here run to Kakegawa Castle, Kasuisai temple, the Tea Museum, Horai Bridge and the Ogane residence. The tea-picking tour operates only from late April to early October.
Where the 3 hr goes
Counted from the moment you step off the gangway. The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside.
10 minutes each way is the measured figure for this ride, not the optimistic one. If your ship is late, cut the 2 hr 40 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Book it with a guide
Booked before you sail — there is no tour desk at the pier. Booking through this link supports the site.
