Overview

Begin your private shore excursion with pickup directly from Sakaiminato Cruise Terminal. Travel comfortably in your own private vehicle. Unlike a large group tour, there is no need to keep pace with other travelers, allowing you to enjoy each destination at your own pace. Start at Mizuki Shigeru Road, a lively street filled with characters and attractions inspired by the works of manga artist Shigeru Mizuki. Continue to Miho Shrine, a historic shrine known for its connection to Ebisu, the deity of fishing and prosperity. If time permits, stop at Sakaiminato Fish Center to browse fresh local seafood and regional products before returning to the port. The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook about the itinerary and sightseeing locations. Pre-tour customer support is available in English. Return to Sakaiminato Cruise Terminal in time for your ship’s departure.
