    Shizuoka Kakegawa-shi Nishiobuchi 5298-2
    This home and garden is about a three-minute walk from both the Nishibancho bus stop and the Shinyokosuka bus stop or about a 20-minute drive from Kakegawa Interchange. It is located on the left heading east from Yokosuka Castle Ruin Park via Prefectural Route 41 and Prefectural Route 69. The home was built as the residence of the Shimizu family, which made its fortune as Kaisen donya shipping agents during the Edo period. The family even served as purveyors for the region's feudal lords. The home's kaiyu-shiki garden is believed to have been completed during the mid Edo period. The beauty of the extremely clear spring water in the garden's central pond earned it a spot on the list of Shizuoka Prefecture's 100 best waterfronts in 2001.

    昔ながらの旅籠の看板が出ています。岡部宿は江戸から21番目の宿場町だったそうです。天保の大火で焼失したそうで、再建されましたので江戸後期の建造物らしいです。現在は、国登録文化財であり”歴史資料館”にもなっています。 台所には、昔のままの御釜やお櫃、お膳などが並べられています。 町人の部屋と武士の宿泊する棟は別になっています。やはり、町人の部屋とは雰囲気と質もかなり違いますね。 旅館の裏にはお庭...

    半日もしくは1日中、滞在する前提で申し上げれば朝5時-9時までに入館すると 500円で入浴できて館内滞在中は何度でも再入浴可能なので大変リーズナブルだと思います。ですがお湯の温度に関してはどのお風呂もぬるめの設定(恐らくのぼせ事故を未然に防ぐ為)で熱いお風呂が好みの方は物足りなさを感じるかも知れません。それならば、せめて蛇口から出るお湯やシャワーを熱めで!と思って温度調節レバーをMAXにしても大し...

    "This old temple is known as a great place for wisteria. Known casually as ""Yuya Temple"", it has a deep relationship with Yuya Gozen, adored by Taira no Munemori, son of Taira no Kiyomori. Appearing in the Noh song ""Yuya"" and in the Tale of the Heike, Yuya Gozen offered a prayer for her mother and then planted what is said to be ""Nagafuji"", which is estimated to be 800 years old and has become a source of fame. With bunches of flowers over one meter, the blooming of this outstanding Nagafuji is an awe-inspiring sight. Around the peak season from mid-April to early May, many tourists visit to get a look at ""Yuya no Nagafuji"" and the 17 wisteria trees here."

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.
