FULL ITINERARY
Meet your professional English-speaking guide at Shimizu Port and board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach. As the tour begins, your guide will share the cultural and spiritual significance of Mount Fuji, setting the stage for a scenic and meaningful experience.
Your first stop is the lush Nihondaira Plateau.

Admire the shrine’s rich Edo-period architecture and enjoy stunning views of Mount Fuji and the Pacific coastline.
Return by ropeway to visit Nihondaira Yume Terrace, a modern observation deck designed by Kengo Kuma.

Interactive displays inside the terrace offer insights into the region’s natural and cultural heritage.
Next, travel to Miho-no-Matsubara, a coastal pine grove stretching over seven kilometers. This World Heritage Site has inspired Japanese poetry and art for centuries. Enjoy a peaceful stroll under the pines with views of Mount Fuji in the distance.

We wanted something different from the standard Celebrity Millennium tours, and this was the perfect pick. The views of Mt. Fuji from Nihondaira and Miho-no-Matsubara were absolutely stunning. The ropeway ride was smooth and scenic. Felix was incredibly helpful in arranging everything for this Shimizu shore excursion

We joined this shared tour while docked in Shimizu and loved every part of it. The Kunozan Toshogu Shrine was both peaceful and historically rich. Having Mt. Fuji as a backdrop throughout the trip made it even more memorable. A special thanks to Felix, our travel expert, who made the whole booking process easy and stress free.

A wonderful way to explore Shizuoka. This tour offered a great mix of culture, nature, and Mt. Fuji views, all in just five hours. The small group size was perfect, and everything ran on time. Booking outside Celebrity Millennium turned out to be a great choice. Felix was very responsive and gave us all the information we needed in advance.
