    Shizuoka Omaezaki Sakura 5162
    A five-minute walk from the Sakuragaike bus stop or a 30-minute drive from the Kikugawa Interchange, this pond is in Sakuragaike Park near Ikemiya Shrine. Located at the top of a small hill, 40 meters high, it is surrounded by trees on three sides. According to the local legend of the dragon god, Koen Ajari, a monk of the Tendai sect, subjected himself to ascetic training with hardships in order to attain enlightenment, but he was unable to master all the Buddhist law. After deciding that he would study under the bodhisattva Miroku 5.6 billion years in the future, he turned himself into a dragon and entered into the pond for eternal meditation. The park attracts large numbers of visitors to view cherry blossoms every year from late March to early April.

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.
