Overview

  • Begin your private shore excursion with pickup from Niigata Port. Travel comfortably in your own private vehicle. Unlike a large group tour, there is no need to keep pace with other travellers, allowing you to enjoy each destination at your own pace.

    Stop at Bandai Bridge for photos before visiting Hakusan Shrine. Continue to the Former Saito Family Summer Villa, known for its traditional architecture and beautiful Japanese garden. Visit Imayotsukasa Sake Brewery to discover Niigata’s sake culture, then explore Pier Bandai for local seafood and regional specialities.
    If time permits, visit the Befco Bakauke Observatory for panoramic views over Niigata City.

    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 Niigata Port in time for your ship’s departure.
