Practical Things to Know Around Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport
After landing, what you need first is usually not sightseeing information — it's how to get around, where to find food, and what's nearby. This guide covers the basics.
Getting Around
Bus
There are bus routes connecting the airport to Shizuoka Station, Shimada Station, and Hamamatsu direction. Schedules and fares change, so please check the official airport website or the bus operator's site for current information.
Taxi
Taxis are available at the terminal entrance. The ride to central Yoshida takes roughly 5–10 minutes. Convenient for larger groups or heavy luggage.
Rental Car
Several rental car companies operate at or near the airport. Since public transport options are limited in this area, a rental car gives you the most flexibility. Book online in advance for the best rates.
