At Ohama Wharf, according to the port's published schedule. From the berth: Do not plan on walking to Kenroku-en — the sights are 20–30 min away. Berths can be reassigned on busy days; the daily programme has the final word.
Tue, 20 Oct 2026: 09:00–19:00 (10 h in port); Thu, 29 Oct 2026: 09:00–19:00 (10 h in port); Sat, 7 Nov 2026: 09:00–19:00 (10 h in port). Allow half an hour to get ashore and be back an hour before departure, so plan for about 8.5 usable hours on the longest call.
3 of the port's timed days fit: The port-side secret (about 2h), The garden core (about 5.5h), The grand loop (about 8h). 3 guided days fit the call, shared cars first.
Dates, times and berths from Kanazawa Port Promotion Association: 2026 call schedule (as of 2026-09-08). Schedules change; your ship's daily programme has the final word.
