It starts by the cruise terminal — no transport needed
- The guide meets you at the port with a board and the tour ends there, so there is nothing to arrange.
- Priced per person in a group of no more than eight, with an air-conditioned vehicle and an English-speaking guide included.
- 17 reviews, all five stars, from the same operator as the All-about Mt.Fuji short tour; it had seats on 7 of the 8 Shimizu ship days left in November 2026 at our 1 November check.
Couples and solo travellers on a call of seven hours or more who want Mt. Fuji close up without a full day on the road.
The stops are examples: the guide picks three or more viewpoints on the day for the weather, and the operator says the mountain may not be visible. Lunch is not included, so eat at the market before or after.

What Princess Cruises charges for a day like this in Shimizu
A ship’s excursion comes with one promise nothing else can make: the ship waits for its own bus. An independent booking does not, which is why every day on this site is cut to the call with an hour kept before all-aboard. What you get for the difference is usually a smaller group, a start at the pier rather than a coach queue, and free cancellation until the day before.
Princess Cruises prices as shown on its public Shimizu excursion page on 25 October 2026, per person, before any sailing-specific change. Tour prices on this page are the operator’s current from price.
Before you book
Is the Half-day Tour to View Mt.Fuji at Various Angles from Shimizu Port worth it from the Shimizu cruise port?
A four-hour shared car from Shimizu port to Mt. Fuji viewpoints that coaches cannot reach: a view people have painted for 400 years, Fuji with the bullet train, Fuji over tea fields, then Shiraito Falls or the World Heritage Centre. Best for: Couples and solo travellers on a call of seven hours or more who want Mt. Fuji close up without a full day on the road.
How long a port call do I need for this tour?
About 7 hours. The tour runs 4 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. Four hours plus the operator's promise to have you back at the port at least 2.5 hours before departure: a call of about seven hours.
Can I cancel if my ship skips the port?
The operator's policy: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
What should I know before booking?
The stops are examples: the guide picks three or more viewpoints on the day for the weather, and the operator says the mountain may not be visible. Lunch is not included, so eat at the market before or after.
Does this tour pick up at the cruise pier?
You meet the guide at Hinode Pier (guide with board at the ship), a walk from the gangway.
Will I be back on board before all-aboard?

This site only shows the tour as fitting a call of about 7 hours or more, which already includes half an hour to get ashore and the hour before all-aboard. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before means a reservation costs nothing to hold if your ship’s hours change.
