At Garden Pier No.3, according to the port's published schedule. From the berth: Kinjo: no terminal building listed; Aonami Line Kinjo-futo Station about 10 min on foot (MLIT), 1.2 km and 15–17 min by our estimate, exit point inside the restricted quay not confirmed. The SCMAGLEV museum, LEGOLAND and Maker’s Pier are by the station. Garden No.3: Nagoyako subway station about 5 min, aquarium on the pier. Berths can be reassigned on busy days; the daily programme has the final word.
Sat, 19 Dec 2026: 08:20–17:00 (8.7 h in port); Tue, 22 Dec 2026: 08:20–11:00 (2.7 h in port). Allow half an hour to get ashore and be back an hour before departure, so plan for about 7 usable hours on the longest call.
3 of the port's timed days fit: Kinjo Pier on foot: the railway museum and Maker’s Pier (about 2.5h), Toyota museum, a station lunch and Noritake Garden (about 5.5h), Castle, hitsumabushi at the Horaiken Honten and Osu (Tue 10 Nov) (about 7.5h). 3 guided days fit the call, shared cars first.
