Every upcoming call keeps the same hours, 09:30–18:00: plan one day and repeat it.
Usable hours follow the one rule: off the ship 30 minutes after arrival, all-aboard 30 minutes before departure, back at the gangway an hour before that. Overnight calls count the longest daylight stretch. Dates and times from Oita International Tourist Ship Promotion Council (City of Beppu) — FY2026 cruise call list (PDF) (as of 2026-09-14); the daily programme has the final word.

“Leave by” is the gangway time minus the taxi time quoted above and 15 minutes to find a taxi; on big-ship days ranks run out, so leave earlier rather than later.
Cut to the 21 Nov call. The half hour to get off and the hour before all-aboard are already kept free.
