We will docking in Shimizu 12 May and I'm trying to find a way to:

A. Get to Fujinomiya station, the closest to Mount Fuji World Heritage Center (I believe)

B. Get to the Shibazakura Festival from Fujinomiya station

C. Return to port by 5 p.m. (ship leaves at 6).

It appears there is a limited express Fujikama train that will take me from Shimizu to Fujinomiya, but I cannot confirm this or find a schedule or get more info. It's also confusing as to the name of the station to punch into Hyperdia (it does not accept Shin Shimizu).

It appears there is a Fujikyu bus that will take me to/from the festival from Fujinomiya. Again, unable to confirm fully.

Thanks for any help!

Hi there,

You can take a express train called Tokyu Wide View Fujikawa No. 9 from Shimizu station to Fujinomiya station.
It is about 30 minutes.
If you are going to Fujishibazkura festival, you need to go to Kawaguchiko first by local bus.
You can take another bus from Kawaguchiko to Fujishibazakura festival. The bus is running every 30 minutes.

It might be a very tight schedule, but you can get back to Shimizu by the ship departs.

You can see Mt. Fuji from Kawaguchiko as well. If you do not need to go to Fujinomiya, you can save a lot of time by going to Kawaguchiko from Shimizu directly.

I hope this information helps.

Have a nice trip in Japan!
