Overview
Shizuoka Prefecture stretches along the Pacific coast and is best known as the home of Mount Fuji. The region offers stunning views of Japan’s highest peak from Lake Kawaguchi, Miho no Matsubara, and the Izu Peninsula. Shizuoka is also famous for its green tea fields, which blanket the hillsides and produce some of the country’s finest brews.
Nature and history blend here. The Izu Peninsula is loved for hot springs, rugged coastlines, and beaches, while Hamamatsu showcases castles, festivals, and local eel cuisine. Travelers can also explore the scenic Fuji Five Lakes area, ride the historic Oigawa Railway, or enjoy fresh seafood from Suruga Bay.
With its mix of mountain landscapes, ocean views, and cultural highlights, Shizuoka is a place that offers something memorable in every season.
