- Shizuoka Numazu-shi Nishiuraenashi
- A pond located in the precincts of Osezaki Shrine, surrounded by junipers that have been declared a National Natural Monument. Despite being close to the sea, this is a freshwater pond, and various kinds of carp and other freshwater fish live here. It is referred to as one of the Seven Oddities of Izu. According to tradition, an earthquake in 684 caused the sea floor to rise up to create an island called Biwa Island, which attained its current form and became part of the mainland as sand and silt brought in by the waves covered it.

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.
