Overview

Explore the Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi area on a private shore excursion designed for travelers arriving at Yokohama Port. Travel directly from the cruise terminal by private van, avoiding the need to transfer through Tokyo.

The standard route includes Oshino Hakkai, Arakurayama Sengen Park and Chureito Pagoda, and the Lake Kawaguchi area. Depending on the cruise schedule and available time, guests may visit either Chureito Pagoda or the Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway as a major viewpoint.

Options include an English-speaking driver-guide who provides driving, route communication, and basic sightseeing assistance. The driver-guide is not a licensed professional guide.

This is a long-distance shore excursion. The itinerary may be adjusted because of traffic, weather, parking, attraction operating hours, or the ship’s schedule. Returning to Yokohama Port on time takes priority over completing every listed stop.

Mt. Fuji visibility is weather-dependent and cannot be guaranteed.
