Hi there, hoping to get some information from those recently back from cruises departing and returned from/to Shanghai with ports of call in Japan only.

As US citizens, it appears we should be eligible for a 144 hour free visa for China since we're flying from the US to Shanghai and then leaving on the cruise to Japan within the 144 hour window. Coming back, we're entering Shanghai from Japan on the ship and departing on a flight that day back to the US. Does anyone have experience to share? Also, I assume we don't need Japanese visas in advance since tourist visas should be provided at the ports of call, correct? thanks in advance your any insight!
