Shizuoka Airport Taxi (FSZ) – Prices, Routes & Transfer Guide

Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport — What to Expect

Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport offers the closest air access to Japan's iconic Mount Fuji and the scenic Izu Peninsula. Located on a hilltop between Shizuoka and Hamamatsu, the small airport handles limited domestic and international flights. For travelers wanting to see Mount Fuji up close, take tea plantation tours or visit the Izu coast, this airport is a convenient starting point that avoids the crowds of Tokyo's airports.

Shizuoka Airport is a compact regional facility with stunning views of Mount Fuji on clear days. The airport primarily serves as a gateway to the Shizuoka tea-growing region and the Fuji-Hakone-Izu area.

Getting from FSZ to Shizuoka

Ground transport from Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport depends on your group size, luggage and what time you land. Here are the realistic options at FSZ:

Pre-booked private transfer — fixed price from $40, driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign, flight tracked automatically, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. In Japan, this is often significantly cheaper than a metered taxi.
Airport taxi — metered and honest but expensive. Japan taxis are among the priciest in Asia.
Ride-hailing apps — Grab has very limited coverage in Japan. Most travelers use trains or pre-booked transfers instead.
Public transport — excellent rail and bus connections likely available. Check if an airport express train operates here.
