    伊豆の国市の願成就院に3度目の訪問をし、伊豆長岡温泉にチェックインするまで時間があったので、ネット検索したこの美術館まで行きました。3度目でも感動した運慶の国宝5像を¥500で拝観した後だったためか、仏教館の祈りの対象ではなかった約130体の模刻像には感銘も受けませんでしたし、名品選コレクションの仏像も香雪美術館の村山龍平氏の収集したものに比べるとかなり見劣りました。天城越えして車で往復2時間半ほ...

Shizuoka Areas

around-area-map

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
