Luxury Liner, Asuka II, left Tomakomai on September 12 and called at Port of Yokohama on September
15. We set a tourist information desk in
Asuka II under the instruction of
Yokohama Convention and Visitors Bureau. We offered the information such as transportation
and restaurants. Actually most of the passengers
already applied for optional tours such as Yokohama Half-day Tour, Kamakura Sightseeing,
and Tokyo Skytree in the liner. They
wanted to know where to spend their free time or where we would recommend them
to go. We had around 60 requirements among
800 passengers for three hours and finished our volunteer activity without any
problems. I’ve heard that there are a lot of short plans available and thus the
number of young people traveling on ship is increasing.
