- A call of about 07:00–17:00 or longer: off at 07:30, back about 14:25, an hour before a 15:30 gangway time. Not a morning or an afternoon half-day
- Room to spare
- Fits a 9-hour stop with nothing to add (off the ship 30 minutes after arrival, back at the gangway an hour before all-aboard). A longer call gives you the extra time; on this one, do not add a stop.
- What it costs
- Two taxis to and from JR Uwajima Station, about ¥1,200 each way (our estimate), and the train (fare not checked). Kamihaga residence ¥500.
