- Shizuoka Pref. Shimodashi Kakisaki 31-6
- "The Gyokusenji Temple is a Buddhist temple located two minutes' walk from the Kakizaki-jinja-mae bus stop. It is a 400-year-old temple belonging to the Soto School of Zen Buddhism which has been designated as a National Historic Site. The Gyokusenji Temple is famous for having been used as a venue for the second and third rounds of negotiations leading up to the signing of the Treaty of Shimoda (Peace and Friendship Treaty) between Japan and Russia in 1855. It was also used to house the first U.S. consulate in Japan, and thus played a role in the opening up of Japan to foreign trade in the last years of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The Temple was the backdrop to the events dramatized in ""O-Kichi Monogatari,"" which relates to five women who worked as servants at the consulate. Within the Temple cemetery are the tombs of five crewmen of the ""Black Ships"" (as they were known in Japan) of Commodore Perry's U.S. fleet, as well as a crewman of the ""Diana"" and a crewman of the ""Askold."""

- Shizuoka Hamamatsu-shi Chuo-ku Kanzanjicho 2231
- "Records state this ancient Soto Buddhist temple was founded in 810 during the Heian period. The temple was originally a Shingon Buddhist temple which bore the honorary mountain name of ""Chureizan,"" but after the Meiji period movement to expel Buddhism, the temple's honorific mountain name was changed to ""Akihasan"" and the temple itself became the Soto Buddhist temple it is today. Located in the deepest reaches of the local hot spring district, the temple's principal object of worship is a statue called the ""Fukuichi Akasagarbha."" A Kshitigarbha (Jizo) statue stands on the east side of the main temple which is called the Enmusubi Jizo and which is believed to bring luck in finding love and marriage. The shelter around the statue is covered with ema votive tablets, hung by worshippers, which are decorated with the Japanese character for ""heart"" and an image of a lock, a design the temple has used on its ema since ancient times."

Hot spring water gushes forth and steam rises up from the purificatory font on the grounds of the temple where the charm of this hot spring district lingers.

- Shizuoka Kamo-gun Higashiizucho Inatori 563-1
- This temple belonging to the Kencho-ji School of the Rinzai Sect of Zen Buddhism is located about a two-minute walk from Izu-Inatori Station. The temple is just around the first right corner on Ekimae-dori Street heading southeast from the station. The kaya (Torreya nucifera) tree on the temple grounds, which estimated to be about 750 years old, has been designated as a Prefectural Natural Monument. The tree is so famous that the temple is also called Kaya-dera Temple. The temple is part of Hachigadera, a cluster of eight temples in Inatori. We recommend visiting the temple along with the other seven temples. Visitors can divine their fortunes using Mani-guruma (a prayer wheel) after first exorcising their misfortune by walking the Fudo Shosai no Michi. Other points of interest include the temple's treasure house, which contains the Heiwa Shaka Nyorai, a statue of the Buddha that is a National Treasure of Burmese (now Myanmar).

Shizuoka Areas
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.
