Your cruise may finish in Shimizu, but your time in Japan does not have to end at the terminal.
Perhaps you are heading to a Tokyo hotel for a few more nights. Or your flight leaves in the evening, giving you time to enjoy another part of Japan before reaching the airport.
At KT Hire, we frequently receive questions from cruise travelers:
“Can you take us from Shimizu Port to Haneda Airport?”
“Do you offer transfers to Narita Airport or our Tokyo hotel?”
“Can we visit Mt. Fuji or Hakone after disembarking and then continue to the airport?”
Yes. KT Hire can arrange direct private transfers and sightseeing journeys ending at your hotel or airport. We plan each route around your disembarkation time, luggage, preferred stops and final destination.
A Private Transfer from Shimizu Cruise Terminal
After collecting your luggage, you can begin the next part of your journey with a vehicle reserved for your group.
A private transfer from Shimizu cruise terminal lets you travel together with your suitcases and continue to your chosen destination without changing transport along the way.
Our service options include:
When booking, please provide your cruise ship’s name and arrival date. We will confirm the pickup arrangements for your call and explain where to meet your driver.
The ship’s scheduled arrival time may differ from the time you are ready to leave with your luggage. Your pickup should therefore be planned around your expected disembarkation completion time.
Shimizu Port to Tokyo: Continue Your Japan Holiday
If you are staying in Tokyo after your cruise, a direct hotel transfer offers a comfortable way to continue your trip.
You can also ask about sightseeing before hotel drop-off. Some travelers prefer a scenic stop outside Tokyo, while others would like to reach the city and explore before checking in.
Tell us your hotel location and the places you hope to visit. We will help you choose a manageable route with time for meals, breaks and luggage handling.
Tokyo sightseeing can be included when the schedule allows. If you are flying later that day, the sightseeing plan must also leave sufficient time for the onward airport journey.
Shimizu Port to Haneda Airport or Narita Airport
For travelers going straight home, KT Hire can arrange a direct airport transfer from Shimizu Port.
Share your flight number, departure time and airport terminal when requesting a quotation. These details help us plan the pickup and recommend an appropriate departure schedule.
Haneda and Narita require separate route planning. Narita is farther from Shimizu, so a Narita-bound journey generally leaves less flexibility for sightseeing than a comparable Haneda-bound itinerary.
An evening flight may create an opportunity for a stop along the way, but the available time depends on when you actually leave the port and the road conditions that day.
We plan around your airline’s check-in requirements and allow time for airport procedures. If the schedule is tight, a direct transfer may be the most suitable choice.
A Mt. Fuji Tour from Shimizu Port Before Your Flight
Would you like to enjoy one more memorable view of Japan before flying home?
A Mt. Fuji tour from Shimizu Port can be arranged with onward transfer to a Tokyo hotel, Haneda Airport or Narita Airport, subject to your schedule.
The Fuji Five Lakes area offers lakeside scenery around the mountain, with Lake Kawaguchiko among the destinations known for Mt. Fuji views.
For a customized itinerary, you can request stops such as Oishi Park, Lake Kawaguchiko or Oshino Hakkai. We will assess which combination fits your available time.
A relaxed visit to a few selected places is often more enjoyable than a long list of stops. Leave room to take photographs, enjoy lunch and appreciate the surroundings.
Mt. Fuji visibility depends on the weather. We can discuss alternative stops, while keeping your final destination and airport schedule central to the plan.
A Hakone Tour from Shimizu Port with Airport Drop-Off
A Hakone tour from Shimizu Port is another option for travelers who would like to add sightseeing before continuing their journey.
Hakone is known for its hot springs, mountain scenery and attractions around Lake Ashi. Owakudani is another well-known destination in the area.
Depending on your timing, you can request selected stops such as Lake Ashi, Hakone Shrine or Owakudani.
Boat trips and ropeway rides require additional time for tickets, queues and boarding. If these experiences are important to you, mention them when making your inquiry so we can assess the full schedule.
For an airport-bound journey, we recommend choosing your priorities in advance. Your route should allow you to enjoy Hakone while preserving enough time for the remaining drive and airport procedures.
Izu Sightseeing and Other Customized Routes
You can also ask KT Hire about an Izu itinerary or another preferred destination after leaving Shimizu.
The Izu Peninsula is known for its coastline, beaches and hot spring destinations. An Izu route can suit travelers continuing their holiday in the region, while an airport-bound visit needs careful planning around the chosen stops.
Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Izu and Tokyo are separate itinerary options. Choose the experience you most want to enjoy, and we will assess a suitable route to your final destination.

KT Hire offers the following vehicle options:

Traveling as a Couple or Small Group?
If you are traveling with one or two companions, you may wish to share the vehicle cost with other guests on your cruise who want a similar itinerary.

Before booking, agree on the pickup time, sightseeing stops and final destination. Provide the total passenger and luggage count so we can assess a suitable vehicle.
