Title: What Is a Private Port Cruise Tour in Japan Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The arrival time of the cruise ship was delayed, and at the port the waiting times for both taxis and shuttle buses became long. In addition, because it was a Saturday on top of the cruise ship's arrival, it was difficult to catch a taxi during the tour as well, which led to longer waiting times and longer walking distances.
There may have been a need for more consideration in the explanations and the itinerary. It was sometimes difficult to gauge the reactions of one of the guests, which made it hard to judge how far to proceed with the explanations.

Experience Japanese traditions and culture
If you want to experience traditional Japanese culture and ambience, take this tour! Visited cultural gems, experienced a traditional Japanese lunch, visited the interior of a grand mansion and gardens, and then sat in the serenity of that garden with marcha. Our guide Suzy was well versed and gracious. It was a relaxing way to experience Japanese culture.
