    Shizuoka Ito-shi Ike 674-1
    An art museum just a five-minute walk from the Shaboten Park Bus Stop, a 20-minute ride on the Shaboten Park bus from Izu-Kogen Station on the Izu-Kyuko Line. Nearly some 250 wax dolls of a variety of historical figures and movie stars are on display. All of the details no matter how dainty have been reproduced from facial features and shape down to wrinkles and fingerprints. Leonardo Davinci's The Last Supper was painstakingly recreated over a 13-year period and is a must-see sight.

    昔に行って15年ぶりくらいにいきました。 世界のマダムタッソーとは別です。 かなり古いです。2階建の建物です。 ちょっとカビの様な湿気の香りと言うか。 それがちょっと不思議な空間にマッチしてました。 人形も古いですが、伊豆に行ったついでに寄るのは良いと思います。

    Shizuoka Ito-shi Omurokogen 3-452
    A museum just a two-minute walk from the Omurokogen 2 Chome Bus Stop located a 25-minute bus ride on the Shaboten Park bus from JR Ito Station. The museum was opened in 1996 as a museum dedicated to mechanical antique automaton clocks. These automaton clocks were once made all around the world but due to issues with demand and durability production dwindled and they are now quite rare. A number of unique automaton clocks are on display including a wood carved Owl Clock which make an owl sound to mark the time.

    入館すると、館長さんがすぐに展示している時計を動かしてくれました。鳩時計やからくり時計を1分ずつずらして動かしてくれるので、順番にどんどん見られます。ここが動くよと館長さんのおじいさんが教えてくれるので、心の準備して待つことができます。からくり時計にはまっている１歳9ヶ月の子どもがじーっと時計を見つめていました。広くない館内ですが、楽しめると思います。

    Shizuoka Kamo-gun Matsuzakicho Kumomi 387
    This museum is located about a 120-minute drive from Numazu Interchange on the Tomei Expressway via National Route 136. It exhibits one of the few skeletal specimens of a North Pacific right whale in the world. The immature whale, which beached itself in Kumomi Port in 1977, was 11.5 meters long and weighed 22 tons at the time of its death. Efforts were made to save the whale, as there are only a few thousand North Pacific right whales left in the wild, with most of them in the southern hemisphere. However, these attempts ultimately proved futile and the whale was preserved as a skeletal specimen after it died of emaciation. Other exhibits at the museum include the equipment used in the fishing of tengusa (red algae), a specialty of Kumomi Port.

    伊豆一周う。ドライブの際に寄った博物館。 昔、この雲見の港に迷い込み死亡したセミクジラの骨格が展示されています。 かなり大きな標本です。他には基本は写真やパネル展示でクジラの生態等が 解説されています。 オープンは金-月の間ですが、観覧者がいないと施錠されていますので、入口にあたる観光案内所の方へに行っ開けてもらうと良いでしょう。 海岸線の136号線沿いにありますが観光案内所がいきなり出てき...

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.
