What you’ll do

The Fuji River (Fujikawa) is one of Japan’s three fastest rivers, tumbling out of the Southern Alps toward Suruga Bay. You’ll run the whitewater with Natural Action Outdoor Tours — the pioneers of Fujikawa rafting, guiding this river since the 1990s. On clear days Mt. Fuji looms over the valley between rapids. We handle the introduction, the transfer, and the timing back to your ship.

Why it’s different

  • Run with Natural Action, the original Fujikawa rafting operator — experienced guides who know this river inside out.
  • A real adventure most cruise passengers never imagine is possible from Shimizu.
  • We time the transfer and river slot around your all-aboard, with a back-to-ship guarantee.

Good to know

  • Long calls only — the base is roughly 30–45 minutes from the port by road, so you need an early, long stop.
  • Warm months only (roughly April–October); wetsuits and gear provided by Natural Action.
  • Not for everyone — minimum age and swimming confidence apply.
  • Operator: Natural Action Outdoor Tours

⚓ The one rule

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.

🗻 Will you see Fuji?

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.

🚢 Ship schedule

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.
