    The stone-paved road along the old Tokaido Highway Kanaya-zaka, a slope located between Kanaya-juku and Hisaka-juku, is lined with mountain stones to make it easier for travelers to walk. Later, in the Meiji period (1868-1912), the slope was dug up for the construction of telephone lines and electric cables, and the original appearance was lost, but in 1991, a 430-meter-long stone pavement with approximately 71,000 stones was restored as a town revitalization project.

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.
