Practical planning
Comfort and timing come first.
Timing & routing
Mount Fuji visibility is never guaranteed, so the route should remain flexible according to weather and cloud cover.
Walking & mobility
Kunozan Toshogu involves steps unless alternative access is suitable; Miho and Nihondaira offer gentler options.
Before we confirm
We need the cruise line, ship, port date, scheduled arrival and departure, number of guests, and any mobility considerations.
