    Shizuoka Fujinomiya-shi Miyacho 1-1
    A bubbling spring located on the grounds of the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine. From a crack in the lava nearly 200 thousand tons of water gush out daily from the subterranean waters under Mt. Fuji. Because of the high transparency of crystal clear water, it looks like there's no water at all when viewed from certain angles. The water, which maintains a temperature near 13 degrees Celsius throughout the year, was once used for purification ceremonies by climbers of Mt. Fuji. It is one of the only two registered National Special Natural Monuments in the prefecture.

    A wetland located on the north side of Lake Tanuki. This is the only wetland on the Shizuoka side of the Mt. Fuji foothills, and features 125 lakes of varying sizes scattered about. The wetlands are divided into three areas, East, Center, West, and you can see 63 different varieties of plant including Carex dispalata and Geranium soboliferum. The largest wetland on the western side features gangplanks allowing you to get an up-close view of rare insects and plants that you can't see outside of the wetlands. 29 different varieties of dragonfly have been confirmed including Lestes sponsa and Trigomphus melampus making this a perfect location for nature observation. Though infrequently run there is bus service running to the area from Lake Tanuki.

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.
