It’s been added to the “world heritage” list as a part of Mt.Fuji cultural site in 2013. Lots of tourists come here. I mean, look at this. I keep saying “it’s beautiful”, but IT IS beautiful.   Miho is a small peninsula, so it’s surrounded by the ocean. And believe or not, our beaches are beautiful as well!

The perfect location for this scheme of Mt.Fuji and blue ocean can ben seen only from here. There is no doubt about this place being registered to one of the world heritage sites. There is a 500m long path called “Kami no Michi”, which leads you from the entrance of Miho no Matsubara. https://youtu.be/MhbITD6trww Some of the pine trees lining up on the sides are more than 400 years old. It is such a calm, quiet, and beautiful path to walk through. Feels like you will go up to the sky, just like the “Heavenly Maiden.”

This is also one of the “YOU GOTTA GO VISIT” places. Nihon daira is a plateau in Shizuoka city. You can either hike up or take some transportations to get up there. On top of it, there is a luxury hotel. And this was taken from their garden. You don’t have to stay at the hotel to go in there, anybody can go and enjoy this scenery. And of course you can stay there if you want to ! (more info coming up! stay tuned or make sure to bookmark this page!)

Here’s the reason why “You gotta be lucky enough” to see Mt.Fuji.
This was taken from the restaurant located on top of Nihon daira. The beautiful Mt.Fuji is supposed to be seen from here. HOWEVER, this is the view you would see if you are NOT lucky enough! You know it’s there, but seems like it doesn’t wanna come out and say hi to you.Winter time, Mt.Fuji would be covered with some snow on top. Besides that, the air is so crisp and clear, so it tends to show up beautifully.

This is not a sightseeing spot, but just a train staiton. But this is one of the places where you can see such a nice view of Mt.Fuji. Even though there are some buildings and railroad in your sight, Higashi Shizuoka station is still one of the best places to view Mt.Fuji.

You’ll probably be using this station while you are in Shizuoka, and it’s actually mentioned many many times in this site in the “access” info. So you will probably be there anyway on the way to some destinations in Shizuoka. Don’t forget to look out the window from the station. It’s also cool to see the Shinkansen, bullettrains pass by in front of you. (They don’t stop at Higashi Shizuoka station, so they go by so fast!!)

This facility was newly opened in November of 2018 by Shizuoka city and prefecture. The shape of the building is regular octagon and you can actually go all the way around the the octagon, which means, it allows you to enjoy the view of 360 degree on the deck. So this whole building could be considered as an observation deck.

Nihondaira is already known as one of the places you can see the most beautiful Mt.Fuji. On this observation deck, you can see even more amazing view from it. Moreover, please remember that the architect design of this building is also an important feature!

This was designed by very famous architect, Kengo Kuma, who has designed Shin Kokuritsu Kyogijyo which will be used for Tokyo Olympic in 2020. So you will be amazing by the beautiful architect design as well as the panoramic view!

It’s free to enter. They have a cafe where you can enjoy Shizuoka’s flavorful green tea and some other drinks and sweets made from the local products.
