No excursion. Went shopping at the market. Had a great fresh seafood lunch.

Hiroshima, Japan

2 out of 5
Took Panaromic Hiroshima excursion, disappointed. Only visited war n peace memorial n drive around showing us school n downtown. Time too short by a hour. supposed to be 2.5 hours. Tried hard to understand guide. Should had stopped at market to allow us to walk around to use up time.

Osaka, Japan

4 out of 5
On our own. Took train to Kyoto. It rained so only saw bamboo forest.

Nagoya, Japan

3 out of 5
Nagoya Castle & Osu Kannon Temple . Ok. Should allow more time to walk shop around OSU instead of returning early.

Shimizu, Japan

5 out of 5
Mt. Fuji view was awesome . Lunch was traditional n ok. The shrine is nice. Guide was really good and easy to understand and share Japan’s life style n provide shrine details n knowledge.

Tokyo, Japan

5 out of 5
No. Stayed post cruise 2 days on own. Busy place. Trains very complex to use. Taxi ride from port to hotel ~ $200! Very expensive. Did enjoy Tokyo.

Disembarkation
