What you’ll do
The couples’ version of the port’s most popular formula. A private sedan taxi meets you at the CIQ terminal exit — literally in front of your ship — and takes just the two of you around Shimizu’s three headline sights over four unhurried hours: the Nihondaira plateau (tea fields and the Mt. Fuji panorama from the Yume Terrace observatory), the ropeway views down the ridge, and the classic photo stops along the way.
Why it’s worth it
- Made for two: same route as the jumbo-taxi tour, right-sized (and right-priced) for a couple rather than a group of six.
- Zero logistics: the meeting point is the terminal exit; the driver watches the clock so you don’t have to.
- 32 travellers have reviewed it — see the live score on Viator.
Good to know
- Four hours door-to-door needs a call of roughly 7 hours or more — check yours against the schedule.
- Morning slots give the best Mt. Fuji odds; afternoons are for the town side of the route.
- Booking and live pricing are on Viator.
Booking opens on Viator (a Tripadvisor company), where you'll see live prices and availability. If you book, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. We only list cruise-friendly operators with port pickup and an English guide.
