Activity itinerary

Miho Seacoast (Miho no Matsubara Beach)

  • 1h
Miho-no-Matsubara has long been known as a fantastic spot from which to view Mt. Fuji, and has even been featured in traditional Japanese ukiyo-e paintings. There are approximately 30,000 pine trees on the 7km coastline, and the sight of Mt. Fuji beyond them is one that has represented Japan over the ages. When Mt. Fuji was registered as a World Heritage Site, Miho-no-Matsubara was included as a component. On the coast there you can also find Hagoromo no Matsu, a pine tree that is said to have been visited by an angel.

Kunozan Toshogu Shrine

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Kunozan Toshogu is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who unified Japan after it had been divided by war for centuries and established the Edo Shogunate about 400 years ago. The shrine is on the 216m-high Mt. Kuno in Nihondaira, and the recommended way to get there is by ropeway gondola from Nihondaira. There, you can witness a view of Suruga Bay and all the way to Izu Peninsula from the precincts. Once you've finished paying your respects at the shrine and enjoying the buildings with their richly coloured decorations, be sure to stop in the Kunozan Toshogu Museum where you can see various treasures related to the Tokugawa family, such as armour and helmets. Entrance fee to shrine building: 500 JPY/adult, 200 JPY/primary school and junior high school student; entrance fee to museum: 400 JPY/adult, 150 JPY/primary school and junior high school student ※Joint ticket for shrine building and museum: 800 JPY/adult, 300 JPY/primary school and junior high school student

Nihondaira Ropeway

Nihondaira is a hilly area at an altitude of about 300m facing Suruga Bay and is known as a wonderfully scenic spot from which to see Mt. Fuji. The Mt. Fuji from here stands beyond the tea fields and looks as if it is attended by Suruga Bay, and if you change the direction of your gaze, you will also see the southern Japan Alps. A sight not to miss here is the nighttime view that can be enjoyed from sunset. As the sun sets, the lights of Shimizu City below will begin to shimmer, creating a romantic scene. Be sure to take a photograph with the nightscape in the background.

The trains run between Shin-Kanaya Station and Senzu Station from one to three times a day, taking about 1 hour to go approx. 37km (one way).

Today, the park features reconstructed structures such as the East Gate and Tatsumi Yagura (corner tower), along with peaceful gardens, open lawns, and walking paths. Visitors can explore exhibits about the castle’s history, enjoy seasonal flowers, and experience a calm atmosphere in the heart of the city.
