Why it is on this site
  • Adachi's garden, ranked Japan's best for more than twenty years running, is about 50 minutes by car, against about 1 hour 35 minutes by taxi, train and the museum's free shuttle; this puts it in a private car.
  • Admission fees and a nationally licensed English-speaking guide are included.
  • Pickup is arranged to your location, so the car can meet you at whichever berth your ship uses.
Best for

Garden lovers on a long call who want three gardens rather than castles or town.
