Episode notes
Tokyo's Modern Cruise Terminal
- Tokyo International Cruise Terminal felt modern, multi-story, and art-filled compared to the old Yokohama terminal.
- Sherry notes the new terminal offers better facilities, AC, and a more city-like embarkation experience.
Plan Realistic Mount Fuji Expectations
- Book a private guided tour from the port if you want a focused Mount Fuji day.
- Expect drives and viewpoints rather than getting extremely close to Mount Fuji from Shimizu.
Pack For Japan Heat
- Prepare for high heat in late-summer Japan with hydration, neck fans, and breathable clothing.
- Sherry warns heat exhaustion can happen on crowded attractions during public holidays.
