Mon 2 Nov

08:30–12:00 · about 1.5 usable hours · gangway by 10:30

2 Nov: gangway at 10:30, 1.5 usable hours. There is no tour for this; take the short bus or taxi into Hakata for one thing, or walk the 500 m to the BRT stop and back, and treat it as a stretch of the legs before the sailing.

No guided day on this site fits these calls and is open on them; the timed plans below are the day.

The mistake to avoid: Going to Dazaifu on 2 Nov: with the gangway at 10:30 you would be turning back before you arrived.
