Overview

Begin your journey in comfort with a private car or chartered coach, accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide who will bring the region’s history and culture to life as you travel through the scenic landscapes of Shizuoka.

Your first destination is Nihondaira Yume Terrace, a striking architectural viewpoint perched high above Suruga Bay. Designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, the terrace offers sweeping panoramic views of the coastline, the city below, and on clear days, the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji rising in the distance. It is a perfect introduction to the region’s serene beauty and a moment to pause, take in the scenery, and capture unforgettable photographs.

From here, continue your exploration with a visit to the historic Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, one of Japan’s most revered Shinto shrines. Dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, this richly decorated complex is nestled within forested hills and reached via a scenic ascent. Your guide will share fascinating stories of the shrine’s cultural significance, intricate carvings, and the legacy of one of Japan’s most influential historical figures, deepening your appreciation of this spiritual site.

The tour then takes you to the tranquil shores of Miho no Matsubara, a picturesque coastal area famed for its pine tree-lined beach and its designation as part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, the contrast of emerald pines, white sands, and the vast blue sea creates a timeless landscape celebrated in Japanese art and poetry for centuries. Stroll along the shoreline, breathe in the fresh ocean air, and enjoy the calming atmosphere that defines this natural treasure.

After a day immersed in breathtaking views, cultural heritage, and coastal charm, relax as you are comfortably transported back to the port, carrying with you lasting memories of Shizuoka’s unique blend of nature and history.
