If the weather is clear- you can get great views of Mt Fuji from the ship. We took a ships tour that included the Nihon-Daira Observatory tower and cablecar to the Shinto temple, then drive to the pine forest and beach for views of Mt Fuji. But beware of long queues for the cable car and thousands of steps!
