    Shizuoka Pref. Itoushi Yawatano 1064-2
    A museum located a 10 minute walk from Izu-Kogen Station designed around the concept of a “teddy bear house.” The museum features numerous displays, including “Teddy Girl,” an early teddy bear produced by the German Steiff firm which is also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, rare antique bears, and works by teddy bear makers from around the world. The brick exhibition hall is modeled after an English country home. There’s also a courtyard filled with cute bears and a tea room with comfortable terrace seating, giving visitors the chance to enjoy a truly fairy tale-like atmosphere.

    A must-go if you are fan of Teddy. Various generations Teddy and Teddy in Japanese clothes are available. A bonus of Totorro exhibition is also available.

    This museum features exhibits on extinct cat species and the world of wild cats, a collection of fairy tale and cat-themed artwork from around the world, and more.

    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。

    Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture Omurokogen 10-303

    伊豆観光で行ったアートギャラリー&工房。 アンモナイトの化石を美術視点で展示解説してありました。 個人的には、紐状螺旋みたいな形の異常種のアンモナイトがあることにびっくりしました。 展示品は少な目ですが、解説文を読んでいるとあっと言う間に時間が過ぎてしまうほど興味深いディスプレイでした。 駐車場は3-4台分あり、アクセスが楽です。

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.
