    Shizuoka Shuchi-gun Morimachi Iida 2590
    A shrine located a ten-minute drive from the Mori-Kakegawa Interchange or a fifteen-minute drive from the Fukuroi Interchange, or right near the Tenno bus stop. As in the Gion Shrine in Kyoto or the Tsushima Shrine in Aichi Prefecture, Susanoo-no-Mikoto is the god enshrined here, so the local people sometimes refer to the shrine as O-Tenno-sama or Iida-no-Gion-sama. Every year on the weekend (Friday through Sunday) closest to July 15th, the Iida-no-Gion Festival is held, featuring a dance called Yamana Jinja Tennosai Bugaku, which has been designated a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.

    Shizuoka Shimada-shi Kanaya Fujimicho Surrounding area
    This tea garden spans the area between the plains downriver on the Oigawa river and the Kiku River. A vast green-colored carpet spreads on top of a plateau at an elevation of 100 to 200 meters. The tea garden got its start when samurai traveling with the Tokugawa clan abandoned their swords and started cultivating. Then, Kawagoshi-ninsoku (coolies crossing a river on foot) pitched in, and the local farmers eventually took over, and the garden developed into Japan's biggest tea garden. Currently, it comprises 40% of the tea production in Shizuoka. From the Makinohara Park located in one area, you can see the Oi river below, and on a clear day, you can see out to Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay.

  • Tanuma Kaido

    "This is the common name for the 28-kilometer road connecting ""Fujieda-shuku"", the 22nd post town of 53 Stations of the Tokaido, and Sagara in Makinohara City. The name was given because Tanuma Okitsugu, who advanced in life from being a kosho to an Elder for the 9th generation Tokugawa Ieshige, prepared the road. Known for the ""Kansei Reforms"", one of the three major reforms of the Edo period, Okitsugi improved public finance by organizing social capital, such as by developing mines and rice paddies and commerce. The present road is paved, so you cannot see what it looked like in the past, but there is a stone monument which represents the origin and is close to ""Oganeke"", a building from roughly 300 years ago which has been designated a National Important Cultural Property."

At the time, it was known as a great place for flower-viewing and moon-viewing, with an artificial hill, a fountain, and a tea house set up. Currently, the entire area of the garden remains are prepared as ruins and a park, with the Tanaka Castle main hall tower, the tea house, and the Chorakuji-mura storehouse being moved and recreated. The articles from the buildings inside the castle still remain today, which is extremely rare, so it has been registered as a Municipal Cultural Property.

  • Shida Gunga Ruins
    Travel / Tourism
    Shizuoka Fujieda-shi Minami Surugadai 1-12
    "These are nationally-designated ruins in an area of the mountainous area forming the Oi River. They are the ruins of a government office of ""Shida County of Suruga"", which during the Nara and Heian periods ruled over the area from the western side of present-day Fujieda City to present-day Shimada City. The hottate-bashira buildings, gates, and roads of the remaining structures were discovered in an excavation survey in 1977. The fact that a large number of documents and earthenware which bore inscriptions of ""Shida"" county names and official titles is supporting evidence that it was a county office during the Nara and Heian periods. In the historical resource museum, there is display showing the process from the discovery of the ruins to their recreation, and you can learn about daily life in the old county office."

During the excavation survey of 1951, the ruins of the seven-storied tower was discovered as part of the discovery of the main cathedral. The cathedral stretched 180 meters east-to-west and 250 meters north-to-south. With the main hall in the center, it is thought that the north side had an auditorium, and the south side had a middle gate. Since the characteristics of these Kokubunji Temple ruins remain distinctive, and the scholarly value is high, they were designated as a National Special Historic Site in 1952."

    駐車場からすぐ近くには宝生殿があり、本堂化と間違えてしまいそうですが、本堂はさらに階段を登った奥まった場所にあります。時間がありませんでしたので、宝生殿の参拝だけでしたが綺麗に整備された寺院でした。境内地には風鈴が涼しげになっていたのが印象的でした。

    Shizuoka Kakegawa-shi Kakegawa 1140-1

    1900年前後の英仏の作品が中心。廃止された教会から持ち出された物だそう。聖書の知識があればなお楽しめるが、なくてもその美しさは理解できると思う。 興味と時間があればじっくり見学して欲しい。太陽の位置、光の射し込み方によって作品の色合いや表情が変化する。特に最終の部屋はサークル状に配置された作品だけでなく、対面の壁も見て欲しい。太陽光によって映し出された色がとても幻想的。西陽による変化が美しかった...

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.
