Your shimizu fish market kashi no ichi plan

Ejiri is a different landing. The city’s water-bus guide places Kashi no Ichi by the Ejiri landing near Shimizu Station. Our suggestion: save the market name and district, rather than asking for the Hinode sightseeing pier.

Fuji scenery depends on conditions. The official tourism listing identifies Miho as part of the Mount Fuji World Heritage site. Our suggestion: enjoy the pine shore itself; membership in that site does not guarantee a visible mountain.

Miho no Matsubara: visitor informationCount from when you can get off the ship, or ashore by tender, to the all-aboard time, using ship time. Times on these plans are our estimates, with time to spare; they cannot promise a plan fits your sailing.
Short plans need up to 4 hours in total, medium up to 6, long more than 6. A plan with a connection still to confirm has no total.

Open S-Pulse Dream Plaza in Google Maps
Choose a place for its location, then open Google Maps for directions. Confirm the terminal on your cruise documents; a map result does not establish your ship’s berth or an accessible route.
Confirm the official exit and any ship shuttle. Our suggestion: arrange a road connection for Miho or Ejiri if the full walk or water-bus timetable does not suit your day. A sightseeing boat or water bus needs its own return departure.
