Why we would book it for you
- The four stops are exactly this guide's own day, with someone to tell the Sugihara story in the museum and read the menus at the market.
- The price is for the guide alone, so it is the cheapest guided option here, and the one review gives it five stars.
- Free cancellation 24 hours ahead.
Best for: Couples on the 10-hour call who want the town's history told rather than read, and are happy on the shuttle and the loop bus.

One alternative
What could go wrong
One review only. Transport, entrance fees, food and the guide's own expenses are all extra, and the record gives no meeting point, so agree the quay or Kirameki Minato Hall by message. Eight hours needs a 10-hour call, so it fits Diamond Princess, not Westerdam's nine.
Before you book
What if our ship is late?
The operator's own cancellation terms: "For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time." Tell the guide your all-aboard time when you book and again when you meet; a late arrival is the time to use that margin, not to shorten the hour before all-aboard.
Do we pay now?
Most Viator listings let you reserve now and pay later, and cancel free up to 24 hours before the start. The listing says which applies to this one.
Where exactly do we meet?
No meeting point in the listing; agree the quay or the museum. There is no pickup from the ship: allow the walk or ride from the gangway in your timing.
Is it all right for someone who walks slowly?
One review only. Transport, entrance fees, food and the guide's own expenses are all extra, and the record gives no meeting point, so agree the quay or Kirameki Minato Hall by message. Eight hours needs a 10-hour call, so it fits Diamond Princess, not Westerdam's nine.
