Your ship · your port · your hoursNext call Fri, 13 Nov 2026, 09:00–18:00 (9 h in port), at Muryoji Wharf. Below: only the plans and tours that fit that call.
Every upcoming call keeps the same hours, 09:00–18:00: 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 Kanazawa Port Promotion Association: 2026 call schedule (as of 2026-10-08); the daily programme has the final word.
09:00–18:00 · about 7 usable hours · gangway by 16:30
About 7 usable hours, back at the gangway by 16:30: one district or one sight with lunch, or a half-day guided tour that starts at the pier.

Fri, 13 Nov 2026, 09:00–18:00 (9 h in port), at Muryoji Wharf. Off the ship from 09:30, back at the gangway by 16:30. Print it or save it before you lose the ship's Wi-Fi.
“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 13 Nov call. The half hour to get off and the hour before all-aboard are already kept free.
