2025 Shizuoka Prefecture Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Let's go on a little trip! Nihondaira is located in Shizuoka Prefecture, not too far from Tokyo. Besides the famous Shizuoka tea, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, on the day we went, Mount Fuji was hiding behind the clouds and didn't show its face. We took the cable car to Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, where the scenery was serene and there weren't many people. After a strenuous climb, we finally reached the top. Besides worshiping and enjoying the beautiful scenery, we had a panoramic view of Shizuoka City below. You can hike and exercise here, but the only downside of this trip was not being able to see Mount Fuji's face.

Sumata Gorge, located at the foothills of the Southern Alps in Japan, is a popular tourist destination known for its hot springs and stunning natural scenery. In recent years, the most notable attraction has been the Yume no Tsuribashi (Dream Suspension Bridge) hidden within the gorge. This suspension bridge, which stands 8 meters high and stretches 90 meters long, spans the confluence of the Ooma River and Sumata River. Made of wooden planks, the bridge is extremely narrow and almost lacks handrails, making the crossing quite thrilling as it sways. However, standing in the middle of the bridge, one can enjoy a breathtaking view of the dense red-leaf forest and the emerald-green lake below, creating a fairy-tale-like scene. It is said that making a wish for love in the center of the bridge will ensure it comes true.

#thingstodo Among the Numazu Alps, Mt. Washizu seemed to have relatively many rugged rocks. When heading from Mt. Washizu to Mt. Ohira, there was a place where Mt. Fuji could be clearly seen. The wide summit with a view of the ocean is a good place to take a break. I wonder why there was a small shrine and for some reason there were a lot of citrus fruits. You can enjoy the view on top.

A place full of nature where you can see Mt. Fuji 🗻 It's only a 3 minute walk to Gotemba Outlet! ! 👏 So before checking in, I parked the car and enjoyed Gotemba Outlet 👗 Glamping where you can enjoy nature, food, and shopping is rare! Or rather, for the first time✨😳 Make your glamping debut 💗 御殿場アウトレットすぐ近くの富士山が見えるグランピング🗻 [Relam Glamping Resort Gotemba] @relamgotemba 📍1297-6 Fukasawa, Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture #japantravel #anniversarytrip #グランピング #富士山 #mtfuji #御殿場アウトレット #静岡

#WinterTravel Visiting a Shizuoka hot spring accommodation Each room has a private hot spring and a public hot spring that can be used after reservation So I enjoyed the hot springs indoors and outdoors to my heart's content ㅎㅎ Breakfast was at Damjji with my group while looking at the ocean :) It was my first Japanese hot spring trip, but I was satisfied We also visited a famous hamburger steakhouse And a sudden visit to a teppanyaki restaurant! What the heck(?) The place I went into was even tastier ㅎㅎ I recommend Shizuoka for a light trip

The Izu Kogen Station is both a train station and a mall. Aside from the fact that it is a stop-off point for people who would live to travel around Ito City and the neighboring cities, it also showcases a wise variety of restaurants and stores in it. I've had a traditional Japanese fried rice there with Natto and it was quite an experience. This station has both buses and train stops in it. Very accessible. #holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear

Sakura Festival|After a rain, I fell to the ground and fell cherry this time to the Izu Peninsula, just in time for the cherry blossoms to be the most beautiful, after a rain, the fallen cherry blossoms fell like a picture in anime. Scenes. Walk around the Izu Plateau, all the way is cherry blossom rain, especially romantic.

Located on the west of Izu, the island is sailing on the sea with a cruise ship, and the sea breeze is very refreshing. The most famous attraction here is the "skylight hole". As the name suggests, there is a big hole at the top of the cave, and the light enters the cave from above, and the color of the sea is beautiful. This sea cave has three entrances, and the tour boat can drive into the cave to see its mystery at close range. There are four routes from Tang Island. The tour around the cave is the most frequent sailing time, about 10-15 minutes. Affected by the weather, sometimes the tour boat will be suspended. Sanshiro Island and the setting sun that appear on the road because of the ebb tide are also worth recommending. Address: Sailing time of Renke 2060 Traveling Cave in Nishitozu-cho, Kamo-gun 8
