At Fujiwara Wharf, according to the port's published schedule. From the berth: Not to the station or market — the 2018 terminal itself doubles as a tsunami refuge. Berths can be reassigned on busy days; the daily programme has the final word.
Sun, 1 Nov 2026: 10:00–18:00 (8 h in port); Wed, 10 Mar 2027: 08:00–18:00 (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: Jodogahama, straight and true (about 2.5h), Paradise Shore and a bottle of the sea (about 5h), The beach and the seawall — the whole Sanriku truth (about 7h). 3 guided days fit the call, shared cars first.
Dates, times and berths from City of Miyako (Iwate) Tourism Div. — 2026年クルーズ船寄港予定 (as of 2026-09-24). Schedules change; your ship's daily programme has the final word.
