This tour takes you more closer to Mt.Fuji, visiting Fujinomiya, which is 30km east of Shimizu port. This city is located on the southern foot of Mt.Fuji, being away only 20km from the top. There are so many spots worth seeing gifted from Mt.Fuji. Also, the gorgeous view of the mountain is always at the side of you. For going to and from there, we can take the local railways, which must be a fun experience, too.

“Shore excursion from Shimizu port”
Moto met us at the port as soon as we disembarked and we were quickly on our way. Our excursion included the Kobayashien Tea Firm - Tea ceremony experience, Shiraito Waterfalls, lunch at a very nice local area restaurant, the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Shrine and Mt. Fuji Heritage Center. We were very pleased with the selection of sites we visited and the information Moto provided at each of them. He is very knowledgeable and we found our time with him to be a very rewarding experience. THANKS, MOTO!

Thanks for sending the review! It was a cloudy day and less visible of Mt. Fuji, but you could realize that there are many places worth seeing in the area. I appreciate your interest in and understanding of our culture. So happy to guide you again. Of course, with Mt. Fuji view next time!

“The best day!”
Moto, our guide and the beautiful large comfortable van for 6 he arranged for us, took us to the beautiful lake I requested, close to Mt Fuji. Moto told me about a waterfall nearby that was spectacular and then to a sake shop for tasting. Last but not least, a ride up the mountain to see the harbor and town night view. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
