Some we host ourselves, some we run with trusted local operators — all designed around your ship's schedule so you get back on board with time to spare. From whitewater to tea fields to Japan's model-making capital.
Japan's tuna capital with a local photographer-guide: the working harbor, the market before the crowds, and the bowl you'd never order alone.
Half a day of whitewater on one of Japan's fastest rivers with the Fujikawa pioneers, Mt. Fuji at your back.
You can see the tea fields from your ship — now taste your way through Japan's tea capital, with leaf-picking in season.
Terraced water gardens fed by mountain springs — the 400-year-old birthplace of wasabi cultivation, and a UNESCO-recognized farming heritage.
Shizuoka makes most of Japan's plastic models — Tamiya, Bandai, Hasegawa are all from here. Build and paint one yourself.
Paddle the calm bay beside the World Heritage pine grove, Mt. Fuji rising straight ahead — two World Heritage views from the water.
Prices and availability are being finalized with each operator — experiences marked “coming soon” aren’t bookable yet. Follow the Journal for launch news.
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.
Arrival berths and times are published by the Shimizu Port Passenger Ship Committee. Note: if your ship docks at Okitsu Pier, walking out is not permitted — plan transport ahead.
