    This company offers entertaining guided tours that start at Yumigahama Beach and Onohama Beach, trace the old roads along the banks of the tranquil Aono River past local settlements, and ends in the forest village.

The company offers three enjoyable tours worthy of an episode and geographic that leverage this historical fact.

    伊豆旅行のメインのひとつで行きました。 城や神社などの敷石の切り場跡を見るアクティビティーで、個人所有の土地の中にあるカッパドキアみたいな雰囲気の石切り場をツアーで見ることができます。電話で予約を入れ、ガイドに引率され見て回るスタイルです。自分は膝が痛かったので、アップダウンの少ない出口側からアクセスしましたが、それでも結構膝イタでした。滑りやすいのでポールとトレッキングシューズがあると楽です...

  • Mt. Fuji Subashiri Trail
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Shizuoka Sunto-gun Oyamacho
    "Among the four routes to the summit of Mt. Fuji, the Subashiri Trail 5th Station in Oyama Town is characterized by forests that line the trail up to a certain altitude, providing shade for climbers. But after the sun sets or when fog sets in, climbers can lose their way, so they need to be careful. After leaving the forest and before finishing their climb, they can see the sunrise and the shadow of the mountain against the sky. From the Original 8th Station, this route joins the Yoshida Route. The routes for ascending and descending are partly different, and climbers can descend rapidly on the Subashiri ""sand running"" Route."

    Shizuoka Shizuoka-shi Suruga-ku Utsunoya
    "This is an old road of the Utsunoya Pass located at the border between Shizuoka City and Fujieda City. Its origin goes back to the Nara period, with its name recorded in ""The Tales of Ise"", a collection of poems and narratives written in the 10th century. Thereafter, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi beseiged Odawara, a new road was prepared on the north side, so traffic here stopped for a while. Currently, the natural cobblestone road remains and it is used as a hiking course. The elevation of Utsunoya Pass is 210 meters. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Fuji."

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.
