This is not just a sightseeing tour — it’s a true cultural experience designed specifically for cruise guests.
While many shore excursions simply take you from one photo spot to another, our tour lets you actively participate in Japanese tradition. You won’t just watch mochi being made — you’ll pound it yourself using a traditional wooden mallet and stone mortar, then taste it fresh on the spot. It’s authentic, interactive, and unforgettable.
We also combine three unique elements in one smooth half-day itinerary:
• Hands-on cultural activity
• Stunning coastal scenery with Mt. Fuji viewing opportunity
• A visit to Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, the sacred resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu
Everything is carefully timed for cruise schedules, with direct port pick-up and guaranteed return to your ship.
Small groups, personal attention, and a seamless experience from start to finish — this is how you make the most of your time in Shimizu.
Step off the ship. Step into real Japan.
