The beloved anime Chibi Maruko-chan is set right here in 1970s Shimizu, and this small themed attraction inside Dream Plaza recreates its world. A quick, cheerful stop for families — and a piece of local pop-culture context most passengers never realize is a Shimizu original.
From Hinode Pier: 10 min walk (inside Dream Plaza). Tap the map to open live directions on your phone.
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.
