[Shizuoka] It's not just outlets! Gotemba's sightseeing spots ♡

Gotemba is famous for its outlets, but it also has many tourist spots. This time, we will introduce the charms of Gotemba, which is not just for shopping at the outlets. First, Peace Park, where you will be captivated by its pure white pagoda, like a Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia! This park is centered around the white stupa that houses a portion of Shaka's bones, donated by the late Indian Prime Minister Nehru, and features a Buddhist dojo, a Kannon statue, and 33 Kannon statues. On a clear day, you can see the large Mt. Fuji directly behind you, but unfortunately it was hidden when I went there. The second spot is Goryu Falls. It is a series of five waterfalls that flow down a lava cliff about 100 meters wide and 12 meters high, and is designated as a natural monument of Shizuoka Prefecture. There is also a suspension bridge, and you can view the waterfall from it, which is recommended☺️ The third is Komakado Wind Cave✨ This tunnel was created by the eruption of Shin-Fuji about 10,000 years ago, and you can enter it about 150m deep. The inside is 13℃ throughout the year, so it's cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and it's a recommended spot where you can feel adventurous♡ 📍Fuji Peace Park [Address] 3422 Higashitanaka, Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture [Opening hours] 9:00-17:00 [Access] 5 minutes by car from Gotemba IC 📍Goryu Falls [Address] 7-1 Senpuku, Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture 📍Komamakado Wind Cave [Address] 69 Komakado, Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture [Admission fee] 300 yen, parking available #Domestic travel trip #Gotemba #Shizuoka sightseeing #Peace Park #Goryu Falls
