I think I've officially found the cutest port we've ever been to just for jumping off the ship and doing something adorable.

This is the cutest port ever.

Everything was cute.

It was still a fantastic day and so so cute.

YouTube Video Description

Welcome to the first of NINE ports of call in Japan! After clearing immigration, we're starting with a tour of Kumamoto via a private independent tour with Shore Excursions Asia. Join us as we explore the grounds of Kumamoto Castle before climbing to the top for some historic views... then we'll shop for snacks in the castle town of Sakuranobaba Josaien before driving over to Suizenji Jojuen, which is a traditional Japanese landscape garden representing a road trip across Japan. We'll end back at Yatsushiro port with a "hunt" for the cutest of bears before hopping back onboard the ship!! :P Find Shore Excursions Asia on the internet machine here: https://www.shoreexcursions.asia/ 00:00 BOOM! 00:12 Morning Mode 01:03 Let's Head Ashore 02:23 Kumamoto Castle 04:44 Inside Exploration 06:55 Wanders & Snacks 09:24 Landscape Garden 15:07 Bear Hunting 17:38 Ship & Photos 19:31 Energetic Farewell 20:52 O-O-T-Dee 21:20 Fresh & Clean Mode 23:40 Dinner In The MDR 24:44 Explorers Entertainment 25:46 The Evening Ends -Cruise Line: Princess Cruises -Ship Name: Coral Princess -Cruise Dates: January 5, 2026 - May 16, 2026 -Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale, Florida -Disembarkation: Los Angeles, California -Itinerary: 131-Day Circle Pacific Cruise!!
