Overview
Experience the many faces of Mt. Fuji in one private shore excursion from Shimizu Port.
Unlike tours focused solely on scenic viewpoints, this journey connects the region's natural wonders, spiritual heritage, local food culture, and coastal landscapes.
Discover two contrasting waterfalls: the powerful Otodome Falls and the delicate, spring-fed Shiraito Falls. Visit Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha, the head shrine of more than 1,300 Sengen shrines across Japan, and learn about centuries of Mt. Fuji worship.
Enjoy authentic Fujinomiya Yakisoba at Omiya Yokocho before exploring the beautiful pine-lined coastline of Miho no Matsubara, part of Mt. Fuji's UNESCO World Heritage designation.
With a private vehicle, a nationally licensed guide, and convenient port pickup and drop-off, this tour offers a comfortable way to experience the cultural and natural highlights of the Mt. Fuji region.

What to expect
Otodome Waterfall
15m
Located just a short walk from Shiraito Falls, Otodome Falls is a powerful, single-drop waterfall plunging 25 meters into a rocky gorge. The name "Otodome" means "Sound Stopping," referring to a local legend where the thundering roar of the waterfall suddenly ceased during a dramatic samurai tale. Unlike the gentle curtain of Shiraito, Otodome offers a more intense and dynamic natural spectacle, making the contrast between the two falls a memorable experience.
Shiraito Falls
25m
Shiraito Falls is one of Japan's most beautiful waterfalls, with hundreds of thin streams cascading gently over a wide, 20-meter-high cliff. Fed by the underground springs of Mt. Fuji, the water appears to flow like white threads, creating a tranquil and mystical atmosphere. The lush greenery surrounding the falls enhances the sense of peace, making it a favorite spot for nature lovers and photographers. It's also part of the Mt. Fuji UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering not just scenic beauty but cultural and spiritual significance.
Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine
30m
Located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha is the head shrine of over 1,300 Sengen shrines across Japan. It has been a sacred site for centuries, dedicated to the goddess of Mt. Fuji, Konohanasakuya-hime. Visitors can admire its majestic wooden structures, a sacred spring-fed pond, and towering 1,000-year-old cedar trees. The shrine grounds exude a calm spiritual energy and offer great views of Mt. Fuji on clear days. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage "Fujisan, sacred place and source of artistic inspiration," it's a must-visit for those seeking cultural depth and spiritual heritage.
1h
Just beside Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, Omiya Yokocho is a charming food alley offering a taste of local Fujinomiya flavors. It's the perfect spot to try the region’s famous Fujinomiya Yakisoba—a savory fried noodle dish with a chewy texture and unique flavor. You’ll also find street snacks, local sweets, and souvenirs in a lively, nostalgic atmosphere. It’s an ideal place to relax and enjoy a casual lunch or quick bites before continuing your Mt. Fuji adventure.
Miho Seacoast (Miho no Matsubara Beach)
1h
Miho no Matsubara is a scenic coastal area lined with over 30,000 pine trees stretching along a 7-kilometer shoreline. It offers a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji rising beyond the sea—an iconic and sacred landscape featured in many traditional Japanese artworks, including ukiyo-e. The area is also associated with the legend of the celestial maiden (Hagoromo), adding a mythical charm to the location. As part of the Mt. Fuji UNESCO World Heritage Site, Miho no Matsubara is a peaceful and poetic stop that perfectly captures the harmony between nature and culture in Japan.
