Pickup at the pier

Getting there from the ship

The operator collects you at the cruise terminal

PickupAt the cruise terminalGive your ship’s name and arrival time when you book; the operator confirms where the driver or guide waits.

Why it is on this site

Pickup is at Shimizu Port, and the van holds nine at most, so it is closer to a private day than a coach tour at a per-person price.
The operator offers a full refund if the start is more than 30 minutes late, which matters on a port day.
Eight reviews average 4.3, and it was open on every Shimizu ship day we checked for the next four months.

Best for

Couples on a call of ten hours or more who want to stand by a Fuji lake rather than see the mountain from the coast.

Think twice if

It is a long day on the road to the far side of the mountain, and on a cloudy day the view is the gamble. With fewer than six booked, the operator sends a Japanese-speaking driver with a translation app instead of an English-speaking one. The boat ticket and lunch are extra.
