Joined 2024
Mt. Fuji is one of the national icons of Japan that most of foreign travelers adore. This tour is mainly focused on passengers of cruise ship docking in Shimizu port, but if you want to visit Shizuoka, it is worth visiting. I will guide you using my private car (TOYOTA Corolla Cross). All the cost is included in the tour price. If you want to see Mt. Fuji, never miss to visit Shimizu or Shizuoka.

Nihondaira plateau
From the roof floor of YUME terrace, you can see fine view of Mt. Fuji together with the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains. This view is counted as one of the best scenery of Japan.
Toshogu shrine
There are more than 100 Toshogu shrines in Japan including the famous NIKKO Toshogu shrine, this Toshogu is the original and other Toshogu shrines are made similar to this shrine. On top of the mountain, there is a mausoleum of the First Tokugawa Shogun Ieyasu. This is one of the national treasures of Japan and was adored by a lot of SAMURAI warriors. There is no grave or grave yard in SHINTO shrine, but this is the place the First Shogun is buried. So on top of the mountain, there is a big stone curved grave for him and still observe people's life from there.
Miho beach with 3,000 pine trees grove
This beach is also counted as sacred place in this district. The combination of Pine tree grove, the ocean, and Mt. Fuji has been viewed as the perfect scenery for Japanese people since long time ago. There is also a legendary story of a celestial maidan who came down to this beach and bathed. There is also a traditional Japanese NOH dance held on the beach lit by fire brands in summer.
