$388.07
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Shimizu is one of the best spots for viewing Mt. Fuji on a clear day, and this guided half-day tour centers on that scenery and local shrine heritage. Head to Miho no Matsubara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where a 7km coastline lined with 30,000 pine trees frames Mt. Fuji rising beyond the ocean, including the legendary Hagoromo-no-Matsu pine.

Continue via Nihondaira Ropeway to Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, the 1617 mausoleum for Tokugawa Ieyasu overlooking Suruga Bay, featuring a National Treasure main hall. Time permitting, visit Nihondaira Yume Terrace, an observation deck with views over Suruga Bay and Mt. Fuji.

On the private-vehicle version, the tour adds Kashi-no-Ichi Market, Japan's top tuna port offering fresh seafood. The public-transport version covers Miho no Matsubara and Kunozan Toshogu Shrine as core stops, adding Nihondaira Yume Terrace only when transfers allow, while the private-vehicle version comfortably fits all four stops.
