    Shizuoka Pref. Gotembashi Higashiyama 1082-1
    This home in Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture was a residence of Nobusuke Kishi, the 56th and 57th Prime Minister of Japan. The home was donated to Gotemba City in 2003 and has been open to the public ever since. The building periodically hosts special exhibitions, workshops, and other events. The Toraya Kobo, a Japanese sweets shop located on the grounds, offers tours of their factory that are popular with tourists.

    落ち着いた、良い邸宅ですね。 ゴテゴテしていなくて、シンプルです。 岸首相、佐藤首相の兄弟首相とか、孫の安倍首相とかの系図が書かれていて、次は弟の岸防衛相の番なのかなと思ってしまいました。

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.
