Port Pickup for Shore Excursion

Maximize Your Shore Excursion with K-Samurai Tours

Toyama and Kanazawa have become increasingly accessible, especially with the Shinkansen (Bullet Train). However, many travelers also arrive via our bustling cruise ports.

While many passengers rely on shuttle buses or public transport, these ports are often located far from the main attractions. With most cruise ships docking for 8 hours or less, waiting for transfers can waste up to two hours of your precious time.

At K-Samurai Tours, we offer an Exclusive Port Pickup Service (additional fee applies). We meet you directly at the pier, turning those two hours of travel time into two more hours of exploring. Don’t just wait for a bus—start your adventure the moment you step off the ship!

Toyama Port Pickup

Toyama Port (Fushiki/Shinminato), where cruise ships dock, is located approximately 20 minutes from central Takaoka and 50 minutes from Toyama City. Please note that it typically takes about 30 minutes to disembark after arrival. Therefore, it will take at least one hour from the time of docking to reach the nearest sightseeing spots.

To help you maximize your limited time, K-Samurai Tours offers a personalized "Port Pick-up & Immediate Start" service for an additional fee. We will meet you right at the port and begin your guided tour instantly.We will manage your schedule to ensure you return to the ship on time and provide transportation back to the port by car.
