We saw Fuji San from ship. Also took shore excursion to Hakone and lake Ahi. We found its easy to visit Hakone from Shimizu than an exhausted day trip from Tokyo.

Port was very nice and clean. Mt Fuji was visible from the ship. We did an NCL excursion, “Kunozan Toshogu Shrine & Mt Fuji Views.”

Supposed to be close to Mount Fuji but visibility poor.

Went to Minho-no Matsubara (World Heritage Site) on a ship tour. Aa large pine tree forest along the beach. Sometimes, if the pollution isn’t too bad, you can walk down to,the waters edge and glimpse Mt Fuji. The trees were pretty cool, because several of them were held up with poles due to high winds making them bend over. Otherwise, it was boring. We also stopped and took a rope tram to a shrine. It was interesting, but not worth the 45 minute wait in line each way for the tram.

A very friendly town and the fortress / temple with the ropeway well worth the visit. However, the views of Mount Fuji from the hill are superb. Well worth the visit just for "Fuji San".

Lovely port we could exchange our money when we found a bank that would exchange aud to yen not very helpful especially in the terminal where they couldn't be bothered helping to exchange our money only wanted American money, I probably won't go to Japan anymore that was our first time in this country and from what I saw I didn't like.
