Kick off your private shore excursion with a handy pick-up straight from Shimizu Cruise Port. You'll be whisked away in the comfort of a private vehicle, driven by a dedicated professional, allowing you to explore at your own leisure without being tied to other travellers' schedules.

Your first stop is Miho no Matsubara, one of Shizuoka’s most renowned scenic spots, celebrated for its beautiful pine-fringed coastline and views of Mount Fuji on clear days. Take a tranquil stroll along the shore and soak up a landscape that has been a muse for Japanese art and culture for centuries.

Next, you'll visit Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, an impressive historic shrine devoted to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Marvel at its ornately decorated architecture and delve into the history of one of Japan’s most powerful samurai leaders.

After immersifying yourself in the cultural and scenic gems of Shizuoka, your driver will ensure you're back at Shimizu Cruise Port well in time for your ship’s departure.
