  • Takishita Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Shizuoka Pref. Izushi Shuzenji
    A legend passed down by Shuzenji Temple has it that the five bridges that span the Katsura River grant wishes related to love and romance made while crossing them. This stems from the 1911 New Kabuki play Shuzenji Monogatari set at the temple in which shogun Minamoto no Yoriie falls in love with Katsura, a mask-maker's daughter. This bridge is one of those five bridges. Also known as Yasuragi-bashi, which can be translated as tranquility bridge, it is said to grant wishes for happy marriage.

  • Hosen Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Shizuoka Pref. Kamogunkawaduchou Tanaka
    This bridge is famous for its Kawazu-zakura cherry blossoms, which became the town flower of Kawazu Town in 1975. It is also popular for being lit up during the annual Kawazu-zakura Cherry Blossom Festival. The 8,000 Kawazu-zakura cherry blossoms planted along the banks of the Kawazu River and throughout the town are notable for their long one-month blooming period and for having pinker petals than Yoshino cherries. The bridge and its enjoyable nighttime cherry blossoms are a must-see.
  • Gyokuro Tower
    Travel / Tourism
    Shizuoka Pref. Izushi Shuzenji 838-1
    This tower is located on the grounds of Shuzenji Temple, famous for being Izu's oldest hot springs spa. The tower features an observation deck with a commanding view of the area. Its name stems from a poem by novelist Soseki Natsume, who loved Shuzenji. Next to the twelve meter-tall tower is the Hakoyu, a simple hot springs facility offering indoor baths where bathers can relax and enjoy baths full of the scent of Japanese cypress.

  • Hanazawa no Sato
    Travel / Tourism
    Shizuoka Pref. Yaidushi Hanazawa
    This community remains just as how it was described by poems in the Manyoshu (Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves). The road that passes through it, which once connected Shizuoka and Yaizu, was a major mountain pass in the Nara and Heian periods. Old Nagayamon (one of the styles of Japanese traditional gate)-style folk homes and temples still line the mountain path that follows along the Hanazawa River. The community serves as the starting point for three hiking courses including the Mt. Mankanho course, which offers scenic views of Shizuoka City, Yaizu City, and Suruga Bay.

  • Akiha Dam
    Travel / Tourism
    Shizuoka Pref. Hamamatsushi Tenryu-ku Tatsuyamachoutokura 445
    This dam is located along the Tenryu River in Tatsuyama-cho, Tenryu Ward, Hamamastu City. It was erected in 1958 to adjust the water flowing from the Sakuma Dam located upstream. It is adjacent to 3 spots of dam-and-conduit hydroelectric generation, so it serves to provide energy too. The 1,000 cherry trees planted nearby are called the Akiha Dam Senbon-zakura. Famous for its cherry trees, it is home to the Akiha Dam Sakura Matsuri and the Akiha Dam Sakura Marathon in spring.

  • Panorama Road
    Travel / Tourism
    Shizuoka Susono-shi Imazato-Suyama
    A road that extends from the outskirts of the city of Susono toward Mt. Fuji, affording views of the massive mountain through one's car windows. Fields of flowers along the road display an abundance of rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms in the spring, hydrangeas in the summer, and cosmos flowers in the fall. The blossoming plants are there thanks to volunteers from the city of Susono, who planted them and still tend them, and various events are held during each blooming season. This means that visitors can enjoy not only the drive but also the changing face of Mt. Fuji and the variety of flowers throughout the four seasons.

  • Former Tokaido Ishidatami - Kanayazaka and Ishidatami Chaya
    Travel / Tourism
    Shizuoka Shimada-shi Kanayasakamachi (Ishidatami), Shizuoka Shimada-shi Kanayasakamachi 2482-1 (Ishidatami Chaya)
    The stone-paved road along the old Tokaido Highway Kanaya-zaka, a slope located between Kanaya-juku and Hisaka-juku, is lined with mountain stones to make it easier for travelers to walk. Later, in the Meiji period (1868-1912), the slope was dug up for the construction of telephone lines and electric cables, and the original appearance was lost, but in 1991, a 430-meter-long stone pavement with approximately 71,000 stones was restored as a town revitalization project.

  • Tanuma Kaido
    Travel / Tourism
    Shizuoka Fujieda-shi Makinohara-shi
    "This is the common name for the 28-kilometer road connecting ""Fujieda-shuku"", the 22nd post town of 53 Stations of the Tokaido, and Sagara in Makinohara City. The name was given because Tanuma Okitsugu, who advanced in life from being a kosho to an Elder for the 9th generation Tokugawa Ieshige, prepared the road. Known for the ""Kansei Reforms"", one of the three major reforms of the Edo period, Okitsugi improved public finance by organizing social capital, such as by developing mines and rice paddies and commerce. The present road is paved, so you cannot see what it looked like in the past, but there is a stone monument which represents the origin and is close to ""Oganeke"", a building from roughly 300 years ago which has been designated a National Important Cultural Property."

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.
