Welcome to Shimizu, one of Japan’s most scenic harbors and your gateway to the iconic Mt. Fuji! Make the most of your time ashore with our curated, cruise-friendly tours designed to fit your schedule with absolute peace of mind.

Lake Tanuki (田貫湖)

This is a breathtaking scenic destination nestled in the foothills of Mount Fuji within the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, offering overseas visitors one of the most stunning and serene nature spots in the region.
Twice a year (around April 20 and August 20), the rising sun aligns precisely with the peak of Mount Fuji, creating a brilliant “Diamond Fuji” effect that is mirrored on the lake’s calm surface.

Visitors can rent paddleboats or canoes, enjoy lakeside camping, or relax at the viewing decks that offer uninterrupted, postcard-worthy panoramas of Japan’s most iconic mountain.

Nihondaira Ocha-Kaikan (Green tea Hall) 日本平お茶会館

A charming tea hall and specialty shop located near the scenic Nihondaira plateau, offering visitors an authentic immersion into Shizuoka’s world-renowned tea culture.
The hall serves as a welcoming hub to sample and purchase high-quality local green teas, alongside specialty regional products and rice.

Positioned along the route to Nihondaira, it provides a relaxed stopover surrounded by lush plantations and picturesque views framing the surrounding mountain landscape.

Shizuoka is Japan’s premier green tea (ryokucha) capital, producing nearly 40% of the country’s total tea harvest. Blessed with a mild climate, abundant rainfall, well-draining volcanic soil, and frequent morning mists, the region provides ideal conditions for cultivating high-grade tea leaves.
