ASUKA III Cruises
Depart from Yokohama in the New Year and admire the majestic sight of Mount Fuji from Shimizu Port, welcoming the new year with an elegant Suruga Bay voyage.
Osanbashi Pier sits at the edge of the old foreign settlement: fifteen minutes on foot brings you to Chinatown, and the other direction leads to Yamashita Park and the Red Brick Warehouse. Haneda Airport is about half an hour away, so a night here before embarkation means an unhurried morning.

Shimizu Port faces Suruga Bay and is an excellent harbor for gazing up at Mount Fuji. The white sands and green pines of the World Heritage site Miho no Matsubara, with Mount Fuji as borrowed scenery, are picturesque. On the mountain side lies Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, where Tokugawa Ieyasu rests.
