A compact, quiet museum of the port’s shipping history right by the pier — the perfect 40-minute stop when you have an awkward gap before all-aboard, or when the weather turns. Named after the German word for ‘traffic’.

⚓ 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.
