Be back on board at least 60 minutes before departure. Every itinerary on this site is designed around your all-aboard time, not around opening hours.
Mt. Fuji is clearly visible roughly 3–4 days out of 10, best in early morning. Check the official live camera before you commit to a view-based plan — and see our Plan B.
See which cruises call at Shimizu in 2026, and when — times verified against the official port schedule. Note: if your ship docks at Okitsu Pier, walking out is not permitted — plan transport ahead.
