Meeting and pickup
Meeting Time: Please meet your guide at JR Sakura Station at 9:00 AM. Our guide will be waiting for you at the ticket gate of JR Sakura Station. There is only one ticket gate, so it’s easy to find. Look for an “ORU Trip” sign or card held by your guide.

Your pieces will be fired and shipped to your home later. An English-speaking guide accompanies the tour, helping you throughout the day. Meet and end at JR Sakura Station.
