Otsuka Museum of Art and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Where the 4 hr 20 min goes
The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside. The minutes are our estimates from timetables and maps, not timed on the ground.
If your ship is late, cut the 3 hr in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
