How to Use the Map
Shizuoka Prefecture is home to some of the best spots in Japan to admire the country’s iconic symbol—Mount Fuji—up close.
The views from around the Fuji Five Lakes or Miho no Matsubara are simply breathtaking, making them must-visit destinations for photography enthusiasts. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, head to Atami Onsen or the Izu Peninsula, where you can soak in a hot spring with a view of the ocean or enjoy a scenic cycling adventure in the warm coastal climate.
Food lovers will also be in for a treat. Shizuoka is famous for its high-quality green tea, as well as fresh sakura shrimp and whitebait caught in Suruga Bay. In Hamamatsu, you can’t miss the juicy Hamamatsu gyoza or the city’s renowned eel dishes.
History buffs will find plenty to explore, too. Kunōzan Tōshōgū Shrine, which is closely tied to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Kakegawa Castle, home to Japan’s oldest wooden stage, offer fascinating glimpses into the country’s past.
With its stunning landscapes, relaxing hot springs, and mouthwatering local cuisine, Shizuoka has everything you need for an unforgettable getaway. Why not treat yourself to a luxurious trip and experience its many charms firsthand?
