Inside this shop which has persisted since the early Edo period, there is a pot, household Shinto shrine, dyeing tools, and an emergency basket, just as in earlier days. Masayuki gained fame by teaching the Kusunoki school of military science. During the Keian Uprising (Yui Masayuki Revolt) in 1651, the plan to topple the Tokugawa Shogunate was discovered, and Masayuki took his own life. This is a small a stone pagoda in the garden in the back of the house remains for venerating Masayuki (tours may not be possible because it is an individual's house).

Udoyama is beautiful, and because this wonderful view is one of the landscape scenes representative of Japan, it is praised as ""a famous temple in Tokai"". In the precinct, there is a Shumisen-style garden, ""Kanpuen"", which is arranged to have the roof of the main hall appear as Mt. Fuji and a man-made mound as Mt. Udoyama. The sotetsu cycad trees, which are recognized as a National Natural Monument, the gravestone of Takayama Chogyu, and ""Tera Cafe & Shop"", which sells charms and eco-candles. are also worth a look."

    清水に来ると機会があれば龍華寺に参拝します。以前、投稿した中で”龍華寺”の名前を、静岡をはじめ全国に多くある”蓮華寺”と混同して投稿してしまい陳謝致します。寺の拝観料400円を払い、庭園の池から本殿に参拝す。宝物殿は何回も見ているが、中国の陶器のラクダの置物が好きです。そして境内にある大きな古いソテツを看る。いつ来ても新鮮!で、散策を楽しんでいます。

    "This is the place that Socho, a renga poet from the late Muromachi period, built his thatched hut. In the precinct of the temple known as ""Togeppo"", there is a scenic-style garden which expertly includes Mt. Tenchu and Mt. Marikofuji. The hall was built by Imagawa Ujichika, father of Imagawa Yoshimoto, after he became a kokushu daimyo and abandoned his public interests. Then, it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu renovated it out of fear of its degradation, such that currently, it is designated as scenic ruins. It is famous as a great place for viewing the moon, since the moon rising above the bamboo made to look like Higashiyama of Kyoto makes for an excellent view."

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.
