Meet your guide at the gangway — no transport needed. We walk the working side of the harbor that passengers usually miss, talk frozen-tuna economics with the people who land it, then eat properly at Kashi-no-Ichi: your guide orders the cuts that never make the picture menu.
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.
