Mariko-juku

Travel / Tourism

Shizuoka Pref. Shizuokashi Suruga-ku Mariko

This former Edo-period post station is located in modern-day Mariko, Suruga Ward, Shizuoka City. It retains much of its old townscape and features a number of historical sites dating back to the time of the Genji, Imagawa, and Tokugawa clans. It was the 20th and smallest of the 53 stations of the Tokaido Road. Chojiya, a restaurant portrayed in an ukiyoe painting by Utagawa Hiroshige, still serves tororojiru (grated yam soup), a local delicacy.
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.

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.
