My Fuji from Tokyo cruise port

[Wayfairers]

Has anyone done a day tour to see Mt Fuji from the Tokyo cruise port?  We have an overnight in Tokyo and I am thinking of doing the 11 hour tour from Tokyo.

I was hoping someone had done this

First, you need to identify which Tokyo Cruise Port you are talking about.

Tokyo has 6 International Cruise Ports / Terminals.

Four of them are inside Tokyo-to (Tokyo City):

1. Harumi, which is right downtown, next to the Olympic Village, is the best location, but can only accommodate ships small enough to sail under the Rainbow Bridge, which spans Tokyo Bay.

2. Takeshiba, is located a bit further South, and handles some smaller domestic Japanese cruises and Dinner Cruises.

3. Hinode, next to Takeshiba is similar to Takeshiba. also handles river cruises on Edo-gawa.

4. Tokyo International Cruise Terminal, located on the island south of the Rainbow Bridge, at O-Daiba. This is the new terminal that handles ships too large to pass under the Rainbow Bridge. This Terminal is very close to Haneda Airport.

 

Two of them are in Yokohama, which is more or less a suburb of Tokyo:

5. Osanbashi, in central Yokohama handles many international ships, but only those small enough to pass under the Yokohama Bay Bridge.

6. Daikoku, located on an island South of Yokohama. This is a cargo Pier  / Terminal that can accommodate overflow from Osanbashi and also ships too large to pass under the Yokohama Bay Bridge.

 

Japan does not have a big business offering tours from the cruise terminals. That is one of the reasons why ship's tours are far more popular and common in Asia generally - and Japan specifically. But there are many tour operators who can be contacted and arranged to pick you up at a cruise terminal for a tour. It is far more common in Japan for a tour operator to pick you up at a hotel to take you on a tour.
