A small nice onsen along a stream in Doshi village. It has a rotenbura (open-air onsen) and two indoor ones with different temperatures. Quite a big relaxation area and a dining room which serves Japanese fare.

For us it’s okay the facilities are clean but time is short if you like to take a bath and soak for a while I recommend it’s okay ✅

Very good 👍👍👍👍

(Translated by Google) This day-trip hot spring facility is located a short distance from Doshi Road (National Route 413). The road narrows from the highway, so speeding is a no-no. There are two indoor and one outdoor baths for men and women. There's also a dining hall, a small rest room, and a reception and kiosk. There are two parking lots: one in front of the building and one on a higher level. For Yokohama residents, admission is reasonably priced, usually between 700 and 500 yen, due to the water source. Naturally, you'll need proof of citizenship—purchase a ticket from a vending machine and present it at reception. Perhaps because towels are also available for rental, the shoe locker keys and bathroom locker keys need to be exchanged. The baths are generally lukewarm. Perhaps due to the rain, the outdoor bath was quite lukewarm. The dining hall has an extensive menu, but last orders are at 2:30 PM. This facility also accepts cashless payments using the same touch-screen vending machine as the entrance fee. A voucher is dispensed, and your order is automatically transmitted to the kitchen. When your food is ready, you'll be called to pick it up. Self-service water is located in a slightly confusing vending machine corner next to the kitchen. Even though it was a weekday and the weather was bad, a steady stream of customers, including locals, came in. Other reviews include photos of the inside of the bathroom, where photography is prohibited. It's important to strictly follow the rules. (Original) 道志みち（国道413号）から、少し入った日帰り温泉施設｡国道からは道が細くなるので飛ばすのは禁物｡ 男女別の浴室は室内２つ露天風呂1つ｡食堂と休憩室（小さめ）と受付前売店｡ 駐車場は、建物の前とそれより一段高い場所の2ヶ所｡ 横浜市民ならば水道の源との関係から、通常700円から500円とリーズナブル。当然ですが市民と証明する物は必要…自販機でチケットを購入して受付にて証明書を提示｡ タオル類のレンタルもある為か、下足箱の鍵と浴室ロッカーの鍵の交換となります。 お風呂の温度は全体的にぬるめ｡雨の降った関係もあったのか、露天風呂はかなりぬるい。 食堂はメニュー豊富だが、ラストオーダー14時30分｡ こちらも入館料と同様のタッチパネル方式の自販機でキャッシュレスにも対応｡引換券が出てきて、注文は厨房に自動的伝わる形式｡料理が出来たらよばれて取りに行きます。 セルフのお水は、少しわかりにくい厨房横の自販機コーナーに並んでます。 平日の天気の悪い日でしたが、地元の方含めたある一定のお客さんがひっきりなしに来館｡ 他の口コミに撮影禁止である浴室内の写真があります｡ルールはきっちり守りたいものです。

(Translated by Google) The water is colorless and transparent, and doesn't have a distinctive hot spring feel, but since it was a weekday and it was quiet, I was able to take a second bath in the well-equipped rest area. Food and drinks are served until 3pm, so you can stay for a long time. The boiler is wood-fired, so while you soak in the open-air bath, the delicious aroma of burning wood wafts through the air. It seems to get quite crowded on weekends, holidays, and during the summer camping season. (Original) お湯は無色透明で特徴的な温泉感はありませんが、平日で空いていたので充実した休憩スペースを利用して二度風呂ができました。 15時まで飲食の提供もあり長い時間の滞在が可能です。 薪を使ったボイラーなので、露天風呂に浸かっていると、薪を燃やすいい香りが漂ってきます。 土日祝、夏休みのキャンプシ―ズンはかなり混み合うようです。

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere, the size of the bath, and the quality of the spring water are just right - not too hot, not too cloudy, not too slippery - just right. It's really relaxing. Everyone who took a bath didn't say anything, and instead expressed their impressions with unconscious moans rather than words like "hmm" or "mmm." (Original) 雰囲気、お風呂の大きさ、泉質も熱くなくちょうど良く、濁りでもなく、滑りがある訳でもなく本当に丁度良い。くつろげます。 お風呂に入った人は皆んな何も話さず、うーん、んんんとかの言葉ではないつい漏れてしまううめき声で感想を表しています。

(Translated by Google) [Hidden Gem Hot Spring] - This hot spring is located on a road with few traffic lights between Kanagawa and Yamanashi. A roadside station and convenience store are about a 10-minute drive away, and there are many campgrounds nearby, making it a convenient base for camping. - All-day admission is only ¥700, which is a blessing. - Be careful during the middle of winter, as the surrounding roads may be icy or snowy.

15.4.25 Passing by during cherry blossom, beautiful stop rest that has delicious food court and has shop with vegetables, fruits local products.

Worst Road Station ever. So many super loud and disrespectful bikers. I would not recommend this station for travallers by van Pakring on p2-3 is closed during the night and it so loud on p1 because of the bikers

A perfect rest stop after great mountain roads. Lots of twists and turns, this is a must visit for every biker.

Watercress udon is delicious. The toilet is small. There are no particular reasons to drop in.

So peace place to view a river and flower garden . Love it . Free parking available.

Rest stop for bikers, there some food shop here, take a rest is good.

Great place for a pit stop. They have a great selection of food and souvenirs and things. Right behind there's a beautiful river where people were fly fishing.

Great station to get in and out of town, as well as up the funicular to see the mountain! Beautiful lush greenery! Only downside is it gets VERY HOT while in the cable car waiting for it to leave.

Where the mountain train breathes its last swirl and you board this steep climb. Gōra station sits amid cedar woods, café lanterns, and the hush of altitude. The cable car awaits like a doorway through light and slope — your body tilts, the world seems to stretch sky-wards. Tourist Tip: Take time at Gōra to wander the garden, hit the tea house in Gōra Park, and enjoy the elevated view before boarding. Good vantage for photos and a proper pause.

A lovely station, can get busy and crowded but it’s well managed and organised. The cable car ride is very enjoyable, the views are amazing on a clear day.

We visited this small train station to take the funicular train. The place was pretty crowded and there was a wait to board the train. The funicular train goes up the hill to Sounzan Station where the cable car is located.

One of the best looking train station i have visited

2023 September 4★ A nice station that's like the central hub of Hakone. Outside, there are numerous restaurants and other vendors. At this station, there's the cable car and the train. Though the train itself is pretty slow as it maneuvers through the hillside. It also does something interesting where it stops, reverses and takes another split line. Very interesting indeed. Otherwise you'll find that overall a pleasant ride.

Very beautiful train station and wonderful train journey. You will experience the different train journey experience while travelling in this train to reach Hakanoe. Beautiful mountain view and good to explore further

A wonderful open air museum. A great experience walking around through the gardens and enjoying the nature , the art works and the weather. Because the museum is in open air you need to choose for a day with good weather ( not a rainy day ). We especially enjoyed the Picasso Pavilion ! A very clean place and we suggest to spend approx 3 hours for the visit. By the way if you guys are a little bit tired there is a nice cozy coffee shop , with great Italian Coffee , ice cream , soft drinks and sandwiches. A huge parking space on the spot which cost 500 yen - we came by car. A highly recommended place if you are in Hakone. Enjoy !

The day I visited, the weather was perfect—not cold, with plenty of sunshine. The gardens were beautifully arranged and the views were stunning, with many corners ideal for taking photos. Walking around was truly enjoyable. I especially liked how they placed little statues tucked into hidden spots, making it fun to explore. Later, I sat in the coffee shop, enjoyed some desserts, and admired the scenery. It was such a relaxing and refreshing experience.

Wow, wow, wow. They shouldn't call this a museum. It is an art gallery extraordinaire. Beautiful environment, many external installations allow for interaction. The Picasso and other indoor galleries are equally impressive. Child friendly. Lovely places to eat and drink as well as a top class shop. A must visit.

The museum was one of my highlights of a visit to Japan, it is a unique experience with many art pieces in beautiful tranquil surrounds as you wander the gardens with the backdrop of the mountains. There are also some kid friendly areas including the climbing net where many children will spend at least an hour, the maze, and then when tired the pockeT area. Make sure to enjoy the foot Onsen that will rest those weary feet. There is a self serve ticket machine at the entrance so no need to wait in line.

The museum is very pleasant, with beautiful views of the surrounding area. It's not a traditional museum, but it has many interesting and unusual exhibits. There's a pavilion displaying Picasso's works, and the exhibits are indoors. Just to walk around the museum takes more than an hour, and if you're looking closely at the exhibits, three hours might not be enough. Although the museum is located on the traditional Hakone Loop, it's very difficult to combine both the Loop and the museum in one day, especially for those visiting Hakone for just one day from Tokyo. Ideally, you should spend at least two days in Hakone, so you can leisurely visit the museums rather than rushing the entire route to finish before dark.

Simply stunning. A lot of thought and effort has gone into making this place special. Loved the mini Picasso museum in the middle. Top tip - try to arrive as close to 9am as possible to avoid the hoards of day trippers coming in from Tokyo

There are a couple of ticket machines to the left side of the entrance, if you’d like to skip the line. Overall it’s an interesting outdoor museum. It was nice to walk around even in the rain. The gift shops are also very nice

WOW!!! The sparkles here!! You have to go on a sunny day or at least with the sun peaking through the clouds. The way the light hits the outdoor pieces is UNREAL! Loved all the indoor pieces too. Chihuly is always amazing to see in person. We had just been to Venice about a year earlier and it was so lovely to see it replicated so well here in Hakone! You will not regret exploring this museum, absolutely recommend!

Not a very big place, but very pretty, definitely worth a visit especially sometime close to sunset so you get a chance to photo the outside sculptures after dark. Just be vary that it closes early (before 6pm) like everything else in hakone

An adventurous bus ride from Hakone into the hills. The entry fee is 1800 yen. Some amazing pieces in the collection. Many nice images to take on a sunny day. The shop there is large and a cool Eki stamp as you enter. Well worth the journey.

Fabulous museum, both indoors and out. A brilliantly varied mix of static glassware indoors, glass sculptures outside, a concert, and an excellent restaurant (ideal for lunch). I was expecting a tourist trap but was very pleasantly surprised. Whether you're looking for entertainment or just shade and relaxation, you mustn't miss this one.

A museum that displays glass art throughout history. The museum has a spectacular garden and a very large souvenir shop. The place is beautiful and highly recommended for a visit.

One of the best museums I’ve been to! Not only is the fall foliage looks amazing, the glass exhibits are also incredible. We also got to enjoy a wonderful live concert!

March 2021 An interesting venue to visit when you are in hakone. A variety of different display of glasswork to enjoy. This isn’t far from the outdoor sculpture museum so can do both on the same day. There arent many food options around but we had a big breakfast included from our hotel. Suggest not to expect too much for food around this area.

As with most things Japanese the harmony of the art work, the architecture of the building and the surrounding nature make for a very appealing visit. There is both a bus stop out front as well as a free shuttle to and from Gora. There are free lockers for personal items as well as cables to secure large suitcases in case this is your last activity on the way out. The colours exhibition was memorable and well curated. Do also have a stroll in the forest. There are short, medium and long options for the walk and you get to see some of the fantastic supporting structure that makes this building float on the mountain. The Japanese stewartia trees make a compelling argument that nature is the best artist.

A peaceful and elegant afternoon in the forest. The collection features beautiful works by Cézanne, Monet, Picasso, and Renoir, all thoughtfully displayed in a serene, modern space. I had lunch at the museum’s restaurant, then wandered through the forest trail surrounded by quiet and trees. Art, food, and nature — the perfect balance.

Amazing museum, one of the nicest I’ve been to both because of it’s selection of art, it’s architecture, and it’s natural surroundings. Very convenient free shuttle from Gora station every 30 minutes. Today was a rainy day but the museum is definitely enjoyable anyway, we also walked the natural path around it and it was beautiful in rainy and cloudy weather. Only downside for me was the restaurants vegetarian/vegan food. Only one option which actually was a plate with meat removed so it was not very filling at all (spent ¥6.000 for 2 people).

Pretty snazzy art museum. Or art gallery. They have various exhibitions and I went to see the Van Gogh one. It had more art from people influenced by Van Gogh. The building is pretty nice and it's nice to wander around. They even let you take pictures of some artworks as well. The surrounding grounds also look pretty good as well, but best go when the weather is nicer than when I went. It was cloudy and raining a bit. I bet the autumn leaves there are very nice. If you buy tickets beforehand you can get a discount on the cost. It's a pretty cool place.

We caught the local bus up to the museum which was really easy to do, lovely drive up there through the beautiful lush green vegetation, we had lunch at the restaurant which was absolutely superb before wandering around the museum, amazing artwork very thought-provoking, with modern and classical arts on display

Beautiful building situated in a most beautiful mountain forest Great exhibition, good for 1.5h to 2.5h tour Coffee is horrible though ;)

Total change of exhibits from previous years! This time the whole museum was about Japanese artists essentially, who were impacted on by the famous Dutch Van Gogh along with a few other artists from other countries

We had an excellent experience at Owakudani. The landscape is incredible—sulfur vents steaming all around, the smell of the volcano in the air, and if you’re lucky with clear weather, amazing Mt. Fuji views. The highlight was trying the famous black eggs—warm, tasty, and fun to share (plus the local legend of adding seven years to your life makes it even better). Shops and facilities were clean, staff were kind, and everything felt organized. Truly a unique stop in Hakone. Pro tips: • Weekdays are calmer → much less crowded and easier to enjoy the views. • Check the weather → Mt. Fuji is visible only on clear days; worth planning around. • Black eggs → sold in 5-packs, perfect for sharing with family/friends. • Bring a jacket → it’s cooler and windy up here compared to Hakone town. • Ropeway check → sometimes it closes due to volcanic gases or strong winds, so confirm before heading up.

This area was originally called the "Valley of Hell" (地獄谷), but was renamed "Owakudani" (大湧谷, literally "Great Boiling Valley") after Emperor Meiji visited. It’s a volcanic landscape with continuous volcanic gas emissions that fill the air with a strong sulfur smell. Give the local specialty, the black eggs, a try, although they taste just like regular boiled eggs.

This is my second time visiting Hakone. Just a simple stroll around the area this time. I took the Hakone Tozan Railway from Hakone-Yumoto Station to Gora Station, then continued on the Hakone Tozan Cable Car to Sōzan Station. From there, I bought a one-way Hakone Ropeway ticket (¥2000), which allows unlimited stops along the route. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great this time and very misty, so the view from the ropeway wasn’t clear. Still, it was a relaxing ride through the cool mountain air.

Stunning views. The original name was " valley of hell" rename Owakudani. The sulfur smell is quite strong. Try the famous black eggs; they say that is you eat one black egg you will be 7 years younger

Tourist Tourist Tourist, we were there during the summer and the Japanese school holiday. There place is full to the brim. Restaurants are packed. No place to sit at all. The top there, sulfur smell is quite strong. Got to the try their famous black egg. The was a saying that you eat one black egg, you will be 7 years younger !

We were so excited and hungry on our Klook bus tour after arriving to Hakone Ōwakudani Valley. We ordered 4 black eggs pack for ¥500, they accept cash only. Although they tasted like normal boiled eggs it was still fascinating to eat the famous black eggs. We were told eating a black egg prolongs your life 7 years! My favourite was taking the Hakone Ropeway Ōwakudani cable car to see the views of the volcanic valley. It was very windy day and cool seeing it in person.

Owakudani Information Center is a helpful stop during the Hakone Ropeway journey, offering clear guidance about the volcanic valley, ropeway routes, and nearby attractions. The displays provide useful information about the geothermal activity in the area, and the staff are polite and ready to assist with directions or queries. A convenient and informative point to begin exploring Owakudani.

Originally established in the year 757, the Nine-Headed-Dragon Shrine [Kuzuryu-jinja] reveres a nine-headed dragon. According to ancient legend, the dragon who lived at the bottom of Lake Ashi demanded a human sacrifice from the local villagers. A monk named Mangan Jyonin saved the villagers by subduing the dragon causing it to renounce its evil ways. The dragon became revered as a dragon king, and these days, a festival is held every year on July 31st to celebrate the nine-headed dragon king.

This Shrine is located within Hakone Shrine. As always, stairs to the top!

Partially close for reconstraction

beautiful scenery, nice little shrine. not known to the masses

I am glad that I could go Kuzuryu jinja!

Gorgeous at sunset

good

We came to Lake Ashi and took the cruise on what looked like a pirate ship. This ship has a lift that made it easy to reach the open deck. It was spring and the wind made it feel very cold on the ship. The lake is pleasant and we could see the Tori of Peace from the deck.

The lake is known for its views of Mount Fuji, its numerous hot springs, historical sites,However, i might visit at the wrong timimg so there is nothing special. Surrounded by mountains and trees ,also a few buildings along the shore. If you visit Hakone, you can take a 30-minute boat cruise excursion from the port at Hakone Sekisho-ato Port or the Moto-hakone Port.

I think it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I wish we could stay longer. So serene and beautiful, in a cloudy and even a bit rainy day. The surroundings are surprisingly not clean but it doesn’t ruin the experience.

I visited Togendai Station to take the Lake Ashi Cruise, and it was a very good experience. The station is clean, easy to navigate, and well-managed. It is also connected to the ropeway, which makes travel very convenient. The Lake Ashi Cruise was beautiful and peaceful. The views of the lake, mountains, and surrounding nature were excellent. On a clear day, you can even see Mt. Fuji from the cruise. The ship is comfortable, and the staff are polite and helpful. Overall, it is a very smooth and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend the Togendai Station and Lake Ashi Cruise for anyone visiting Hakone.

The boat ride was over all too quick. It's clear and calm waters make the boats motor totally out of place. I'd gladly hoist up a pirate sail...

Lake Ashi (Ashinoko) is a scenic crater lake in the Hakone area of Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is one of the region's most iconic destinations, famous for its classic views of Mount Fuji, historical shrines, and unique sightseeing boats. Volcanic Origins: The lake was formed approximately 3,000 years ago following a major eruption of Mount Hakone. The eruption caused a landslide that dammed a local river, creating the caldera lake we see today. Historical Significance: During the Edo period, the lake was a critical point on the Old Tokaido Road, the main route connecting Tokyo and Kyoto. Travelers had to pass through the nearby Hakone Checkpoint (Hakone Sekisho), which has been reconstructed for visitors to tour today. Took a pirate ship tour ride and the views are spectacular.

Beautiful lake and wonderful scenery…the pirate boat tour was short and a good experience

This is the first time. I'm visiting a ski resort. I like to share some of my experience. Here you can rent ski , snowboard ,boots ,tracks and jackets. But you need to carry gloves by yourself or else you can buy from the store but it has only limited stocks better to buy from outside. The resort has a integrated restaurant. People can barely speak English but very helpful. Snow is kind of artificially made and it's hard. In the aspect of safety some place are dangerous for beginners. Overall it's average ski resort to enjoy.

Visited when season was almost finished. (03/10) There's no snow except skii area. Place is small therefore good for beginners.two lifts.

this place not helpful for beginner thay haven't enough skillfull instactor. & the main problem is senior staff language for foreigner is not good. i don't like . but o take hare many pictures you can see.

Small ski and snowboard slope, perfect for beginners or day trips Skis, snowboards, boots and gear can all be rented there

This is a good place to visit. We can enjoy riding at quite an affordable price and petty close to Tokyo.

Close to Tokyo, under 2 hours drive. Limited runs but great for a day or half day trip. Ski and snowboard rentals available as well as snow wear and full and and half day lift pass. 2020 had barely any snow due to the weather but still open with the use of snow making machines

It was very busy on Saturday. But the slopes were nice even though there was no natural snow. Convenient location.

Kose Sports Park is a fantastic spot for outdoor activities! It has well-maintained fields for soccer and baseball, along with nice walking paths for leisurely strolls or jogs. The atmosphere is lively, especially on weekends when families come out for sports or picnics. Occasionally, you'll find festivals with food stalls, adding a fun twist to your visit. There's plenty of space for kids to play, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. Whether you want to get active or just relax in the fresh air, this park is a great choice!

Beautiful place to walk and enjoy with family, There are places to practice sports and enjoy the panorama and nature

Good place to bring the family. Especially if you like soccer

Big park with a swimming pool, gym, stadium, basketball courts, and stadium spread out in the area. Many public events and some festivals held here.

Largest park I’ve come. They even have a ice skating area. So cool!

Great place for a jog or walk! Beautiful sakura in the spring too.

Very picturesque park in good weather and home to kofu city fc.

Avoid hiking during summer, because there are too many mosquitos.

(Translated by Google) 2025.3.21 Trailhead - Mt. Manjiro - Mt. Manzaburo loop course The mountain trail is covered in snow and mud, making it difficult to walk. There wasn't much of a view. However, I took the wrong route and ended up going down a valley. If you can go when the rhododendrons are blooming, I think you can understand the significance of being selected as one of the 100 Famous Mountains. Are the toilets unavailable during the winter? It was usable when we visited. There is also a place where you can wash your hiking shoes. Due to a significant decrease in the number of route buses, It's better to go by car.

(Translated by Google) Exploring the Amagi Traverse I visited Mt. Amagi just before the rainy season to conquer the Amagi Traverse Starting from the Amagi Traverse trailhead The course was tougher than I thought It was a challenge with a knee bomb I used my legs from Manjiro to Manzaburo, but after that I enjoyed the pleasant traverse After leaving Haccho Pond, I had a hard time on the Koruri trail, which was like a variation course to the last Kanten parking lot, and I worked my knees hard But it was a very good hike to the 100 famous mountains (Original) 天城縦走路探索 梅雨寸前の天城山に天城縦走路制覇で伺いました 天城縦走登山口からスタート 思ったよりタフなコース 膝に爆弾を抱えてのチャレンジです 万二郎〜万三郎まで脚を使いましたがその後は気持ち良い縦走路を楽しめました 八丁池を後にして最後の寒天駐車場までのバリエーションコースみたいなコルリ歩道では難渋し膝を酷使しました とはいえ百名山 とても良い山行でした

(Translated by Google) Mt. Amagi (Amagisan) is the collective name for the mountain range also known as Mt. Manjiro and Mt. Manzaburo (highest peak 1406m), and is the highest peak on the Izu Peninsula. There is a folk tale and legend about three Tengu brothers in the Izu region, and there is a theory that the names of these three brothers were borrowed from them. Incidentally, the eldest son is named after Mount Daruma, a mountain in Toda, Numazu City (although unlike the two brothers mentioned above, it is not a proper noun, but a common noun). There are also various theories about the origin of the mountain's name, including one that says it comes from the fact that it is one of the rainiest mountain ranges in Japan, and that it was named "Amagi" because the mountain is covered with trees so thick that it covers the sky. (Original) 天城山(アマギサン)は、別名で、万二郎岳、万三郎岳(最高峰1406M)と呼ばれている連山の総称で、伊豆半島の最高峰です。この、万二郎岳、万三郎岳の名前ですが、伊豆地方には、天狗の三兄弟に関する民話、伝説が伝わっていて、その三兄弟から名前を拝借した説があるのです。ちなみに長男ですが、長男は達磨山という、沼津市の戸田にある達磨山に、(上述した2兄弟と違い、固有名詞ではありませんが)名前(一般名詞)が冠されています。また、別の説では日本有数の雨の多い山域で「雨木」と言うのが山名の由来という説や、天を覆うほどに木々が茂る山だから「天木」だと、山名由来には諸説あるようです。

(Translated by Google) It's hard to find the way back from the summit! The view is better from Mt. Manjiro. (Original) 頂上からの帰り道が分かりづらい！ 景色は万二郎岳の方が良く見れる。

(Translated by Google) I went on the Amagi Mountain (Manjiro-dake and Manzaburo-dake) circular course. On Friday, April 19th, I arrived at the parking lot (Amagi Kogen Hikers' Parking Lot) before 9am. It was a weekday, so the parking lot was empty. It was very nice weather, but the yellow sand made it a little lush, but I think it was an interesting hike. The view wasn't great from the summit, but the contrast between the mountains and the sea along the way was amazing. However, there were places where the ladders and footholds were crumbling and it was difficult to walk (the steps were high), so be careful. The walking distance was 8.4km and 15,000 steps, about 6 hours, and including breaks, it was a full day's course. By the way, the course time on Yamapp is 4 and a half hours. (Original) 天城山（万二郎岳・万三郎岳）周回コースに行ってきました～ 4月19日（金曜日）駐車場（天城高原ハイカー専用駐車場）に9時前に到着、駐車場は平日だったので空いていました～ とても良い天気でしたが、黄砂のせいか少し藻ヤっていましたが、コース的には面白い登山だと思います。 景色は山頂からは今いちですが、途中途中で山と海が見えるコントラスト？最高です。が、はしごや足場が崩れていて歩きにくい（段差が高いです）場所が所々あるので歩行注意です。 歩行距離は8,4km15,000歩 約6時間 、休憩を入れたら丸１日コースでした。 因みにヤマップではコースタイム4時間半となってます。

Went in early Dec 2024. The place offers very nice scenery of Mount Fuji. The attraction for children is very limited during the cold season. The snow ride is closed when we are they, which is very disappointing. The animal farm is not big. There's horses , rabbits ,sheep, goats, and Alpaca. There's an entrance fee to pay. Every attraction need to pay for a fee like the tricycle. The place is huge and walking from one attraction to another take around 10min. If choose to take bus or train to get to those attraction, you need to pay for the ride as well. Overall, average for children experience and adult for the scenery.

If the weather is clear you must go here, if you have young kids or are a kid at heart you must go here, if you play disc golf you must go here, but it is a short hole course, tricky shots but short. The views....!!!!!

The best natural play ground and picnic with amazing Fujisan view 🗻⛰️🏔️ - Free parking - Entrance fee with low price - suit to everyone / any age Especially kids 👧🏻 - Available every season 🌿 Activities - Snow slides (Snow sled rental 300¥) - Kayak (Free but booking first) - Small zoo - Horse riding (300¥) - Picnic (Free!!) Not so many food shop *** better to bring by self ***

The disc golf course was a great hike and fun time. Overall a surreal experience, felt kinda like being in the abandoned amusement park in Spirited Away!

We visited Fuji Children’s World on Saturday, November 1, 2025. We took a taxi from Gotemba Station, which cost around 5,600 yen, as there was no public transportation available to and from the park. When it was time to return, the staff were exceptionally helpful, they assisted us in booking a taxi, stayed with us until it arrived, and even escorted us to the pick-up location where the driver was waiting.

It is a nice place to take younger children to enjoy nature and play outdoors. It is best to bring picnic type lunch with you. You can enjoy an entire day outside walking o trails, children riding ponies, trips on the water in boats. There is frisbee golf and grand golf. There is not a lot for you to purchase inside the park so best come prepared with drinks and snacks as needed. If you don’t have children but an a nice place to walk around and enjoy the beautiful scenery this is o e of those places.

My family loves visiting Mt. Fuji Children's world! In August you can visit their beetle exhibit and hold stag or Hercules beetles. My children love the waterside and "ninja" water run. The highlight for us is always the fishing pond, where we catch and grill our lunch, as they will gut the fish you catch. It's a great place to enjoy with kids, lots of beautiful nature to see. Be sure to plan to spend the entire day here, as there is so much to do and you won't want to leave!

This aquarium has a reasonable ticket price and is worth a visit, especially if you haven’t been before. The space inside is quite large and well-organized, making it easy to walk around without feeling crowded. While there aren’t many rare species on display, it’s still a fun and educational experience for all ages. There are restaurants and a parking lot conveniently located nearby, making it a great spot to spend a few hours with family or friends. Overall, a pleasant visit!

We went on a Monday at 12pm. Even though it was a midday in the weekday, there was still a few people inside. Very unique selection of animals because it depends on what is caught. We went when it was off-season, so there was no flapjack octopus. In addition to the deep sea animals, there are comprehensive explanations of how they catch the animals, how they maintain the aquarium etc. Overall a bit of a small aquarium, but definitely worth a visit especially for its price!

A very beautiful aquarium to visit, with a good and wide variety of fish. It's also located in a cozy town surrounded by typical regional foods and culture. Parking is large and easy to find.

Very interesting museum! It also has an aquarium floor with many different deep sea creatures. There are also English explanations on most objects. We saw real japanese spider crabs and they have (as the only museum in the world) frozen specimens of coelacanth. Very impressive. We had a great time and learned a lot!

If you are in the area, might as well. It's not too big but you will see lots of species you would rarely see otherwise. Might make you hungry for the fish market outside lol. The gift shop has some good stuff. The isopods give me the creeps in real form and plush form.

Even amongst the many aquariums in Japan, this is a unique one, though not that huge. Focused solely on deep sea creatures, it has many fascinating live specimens and it even display non deep sea affiliate of the deep sea specimens just so we can observe the difference. Of course the main highly is the frozen specimen at -20 degrees Celsius and incredibly has been frozen since the 80s as the only one in the world that is 100% original (not taxidermy).

It is a very interesting museum. Rather small, but focusing on the deep sea which you dont have in other aquariums. We learned new things which was very fun. It is not a must see, but if you are in Mushimi or Numazu then your options on activities in the summer heat are limited and you will most probably enjoy it like we did 😀

A relatively new market that sells fish, dried fish and seafood related items. There are also restaurants and sweet shops inside. Great to relax on a hot summer day with AC.

Good place for shrimp crackers, macha, and ice cream.

Not much fresh seafood is sold.

We can get a lot of fresh fishes and enjoy a sushi.

I love to eat fresh and yummy SUSHI , DONBORI DONG, and SOME FRESH FISH AT NUMAZU MINATO

delicious fresh seafood and goods can be found here.

Lovely place lovely food 🙏

Visited this on a weekday. There is barely any people so it is quite nice that we don't have to queue up and get to enjoy the scenic views without much distractions. The ticket price for adults is really cheap, only 100 Yen, so the price is negligible in all regards. The view is very nice because it is 360 degrees, allowing us to view everything unobstructed. Moreover, some windows are opened, allowing us to take clearer pictures. One problem is that some air-conditioned are switched off somehow (though the public can switch back on), making the second portion of the tower much hotter and stuffy. Overally, this place is quite nice and worth a short visit.

View-O at Numazu Port is a well-known local landmark and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. The structure is impressive, and the view is great from every angle — perfect for photography any time of day. Whether you're capturing the gate from the streets or along the waterfront, it always looks striking. I’ve heard you can go up into the observatory, but I haven’t done that myself. Still, it’s a peaceful and photogenic spot that’s easy to enjoy without crowds. A hidden gem for travelers and photo enthusiasts!

A functional water gate with observatory space, and a bridge connecting two sides of the harbour entrance. Entrance fee is inexpensive, and have access to 360° view with Mt. Fuji in sight

Numazu Port's View-O Flood Gate provides spectacular day and night views of Numazu City, Shizuoka, Mount Fuji and bodies of water that surround three of four directions. In the day, it is said that you can see Mount Fuji on a clear day. In the night, you are greeted by its luminous colours that light the observation deck and towers that support/move the flood gate, making it a sight in itself of the night. Unfortunately, I was only able to visit during the night and catch the views during that time. However, with the December night that it was, not being cold on the outside and being warm inside the observation deck, it made for a nice, quiet overlook of the city interior and a hint of Mount Fuji resting behind a partly-cloudy night. For 100円, you can get many nice photo opportunities up on the observation deck. Even at night, the lights-off interior and mainly-exterior lighting creates a relaxing... and, to some, romantic... ambience/aesthetic. It's a must-visit during all seasons. Visitors to Numazu should make it a point to stop here and go through both sides of the port's inlet to discover what each side has to offer.

Unbelievable views...for 100yen very ,very reasonable...from New Zealand we would probably pay 1500 +yen for something this good...very good helpful staff member...also we were able to take our disabled daughter.... Very appreciative...going back for a night view.

Amazing views across Numaza port and city. A must see when visiting the area. Elevator to the top is only ¥100 for adults, ¥50 for children. The surrounding fish market area has lots to see and do; with many great shops and restaurants (the sashimi is really good). Highly recommended for a lovely day out.

VIEW-O Water Gate is a magnificent building. There is an entrance fee of 100 yen to enter the observation deck.

- No crowned - Silent area - There is viewpoint and park - Can see Fujisan from here

(Translated by Google) I did about 7 laps slowly in circles. Visiting my father's grave. Apparently it's a place I used to frequent...😊The view of Mt. Fuji was really beautiful, and there were a lot of shops. I was really at a loss as to where to eat, so I decided on Kamomemaru's Hamayaki and seafood bowl. It was delicious. I went down the embankment to the sea🌊, looked at various shops, and finally saw sheep🐑, which made me happy. It's fun to visit tourist attractions such as historic shops with a nostalgic, old-fashioned flavor, long-established stores, sashimi, and Hamayaki. ☆ (Original) グルグルゆっくり7周くらいしました。父のお墓参り。良く通っていた場所だそうで…😊富士山景色が凄く綺麗で、お店も色々。食べるところに凄い迷ってかもめ丸🦆の浜焼きと海鮮丼にしました。美味しかった〜。海🌊まで堤防降りて…色々お店見て、最後に羊🐑みて満足です。 懐かしい古めかしい味のある、歴史あるお店、老舗、お刺身三昧、浜焼き、そんな観光名所で楽しいです。☆

(Translated by Google) It's been a while since I last went there with my dog ​​🐕. I'm glad there are more restaurants with terrace seating that are dog-friendly now. On that day, we were lucky enough to be able to park in the free parking lot without having to wait. There are multi-storey car parks, and some shops also have their own private parking lots. (Original) 久しぶりに犬連れ🐕で行きました。 わんこOKのテラス席のお店が増えて良かったです。 この日は無料駐車場にもタイミングよく待ちなしで駐車出来ました。 立体駐車場、お店によっては専用駐車場もありました。

(Translated by Google) Enjoy seafood grilling and seafood bowls! Seafood grilling is delicious! If you're craving seafood grilling, head to Numazu! It's also fun to look for seafood souvenirs! The simmered rockfish and fried chicken are especially delicious! And they're cheap!! I always buy some to take home. I recommend the Observation Floodgate View-O. It's cheap (I think it's around 100 yen. Sorry if I'm wrong). The ocean view from above is spectacular! But it's hot in the summer! There are lockers! This time, I moved from another location to Numazu Port. I was worried because there wasn't much information about the lockers, but there were! They're next to the Deep Sea Aquarium. Lockers cost between 200 and 400 yen. If you don't have any coins, they exchange them at Deep Sea Kingdom. There was a phone here where you could call a taxi for free. There was also a free phone at Shinsenkan. If you need to call a taxi, this is the place to go! (Original) 浜焼きや海鮮丼を堪能！浜焼き美味しい！浜焼きが食べたくなったら沼津へ！お土産の海産物探しも楽しい！特にカサゴの煮付けと唐揚げは本当に美味しい！安い！！必ず買って帰ります。 オススメは展望水門びゅうお。値段も安く(確か、100円くらい。違っていたらすみません) 上からの海は絶景！ただ夏は暑い！ ロッカーあります！ 今回、別の場所から移動して沼津港へ。ロッカー情報があまりなく心配していましたが、ロッカーありました！ 深海水族館の横です。 ロッカーの値段は200円から400円。小銭がない場合は深海王国で両替してくれました。 ここに、タクシーを無料で呼べる電話がありました。他にも新鮮館にも無料電話ありました。 タクシー呼びたい方はぜひ！

(Translated by Google) The tororo konbu sold at this store is superb! When I run out of tororo konbu, I go to buy some on my own on my motorcycle or in the car with my wife. I've been going to this store just to buy tororo konbu since it was located along the Gourmet Street, but now that it's moved, I go all the way to Numazu Port. If you buy it at the supermarket, it costs 400 yen for a very small amount, but it's so delicious that this amount costs 1000 yen! I go to buy it regardless of transportation costs. (Original) この店で売ってるとろろ昆布は絶品です！ とろろ昆布が無くなると、一人でバイクまたはカミさんと車で買いに行きます。 このお店がグルメ街道沿いにあった頃からとろろ昆布買うためだけに行っており、今は移転したので沼津港まで行ってます。 スーパーで買うとごく少量で400円とかしますけど、旨くてこの量で1000円！ 交通費関係無しに買いに行ってますよ

(Translated by Google) At Numazu Port, there are many food stores and restaurants, so you can enjoy eating while walking around. There are also sightseeing boats, so you can enjoy the whole day. (Original) 沼津港には、食品店や飲食店が沢山あり、食べ歩きも出来ます。また、遊覧船もあり一日楽しめます。

I had a really fun time picking peaches :) They were juicy and delicious. I ate 8 peaches in a day. Thank you for everything!

We picked apples and ate some of the other fruit they had on hand! Staff was SO friendly and spoke some English. The apples were DELICIOUS! Signs make the parking and entrance super easy to find.

Farm owner Kazu San is very knowledgeable and experienced in Japanese farming. He is so friendly to customers, fluent in English to tell you the best season to pick up fruits in Nakagomi orchard. To pick and eat fruits in front the splendid Mount Fuji is a wonderful experience... Surely you will enjoy and come back.... Quite a lot of onsen (hot springs) in the nearby towns... A great place for family and couples to taste the real Japanese fruits and culture.

The fruit was delicious. The picking was easy and the owner was very kind. If you like good fruit and want to have a nice view of Fuji. you have to go here

Over the past seven weeks from May to June 2024, I had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer on a farm nestled in the picturesque Yamanashi prefecture of Japan. Kazu-san and Cham-san welcomed me with open arms. Their kindness and accommodation made the experience of living and working there enjoyable and fulfilling. I learnt a lot from Kazu-san as he shared about Japanese culture, fruit growing and his life. When there was time, Kazu-san would bring the volunteers to the onsen or show us around the area. I also enjoyed Cham-san's home-cooked lunches, working with her and when they would bring Yuri-chan to say hi to us! It was also great fun playing with their 5 cats who were extremely sweet and friendly. One of the highlights of my experience was working with fellow volunteers who came from many different countries. Together, we tackled various tasks, exchanging stories and laughter, shared meals and went on various road trips/outings on our off days. I also had the opportunity to work with their Japanese staff who exhibited willingness to guide us through tasks, despite the language barrier. I appreciate their kindness and patience throughout the time when I worked with them. I am immensely grateful to Kazu-san, Cham-san, the Japanese staff, and my fellow volunteers for making this journey incredible.

I love Nakagomi Orchard. At the end of July, my family and friends went there to pick the peaches. This is my first time to visit the peach orchard. There are so many peach trees, we can climb up the ladder to pick the top/good one which faces the sun that Cham told us. She also let us taste the golden peaches too. All the peaches were very delicious and juicy. Thank you Cham!

The best fruit picking orchard in Japan!! I always come here and have the best time. It is very worth it for a day trip from tokyo. Just take the highway bus from shinjuku and it is so easy. The fruit was soo tasty 🍒

One of the most beautiful waterfall sites anywhere on the world. Surrounded by wasabi fields. Plenty of of parking space. Short hike. Interesting shops selling wasabi and rainbow trouts. Very accessible for those travelling with kids. Not packed with people so you can still get a serene atmosphere at the waterfall. Great drive to the location is a plus

Wow this place is a total GEM and must visit. Not only for the waterfall but to see how Wasabi is made! Try the wasabi ice cream at the end (glad I tried but wouldn't again). This place was a highlight for me fromt he view and all. Go and visit!

Beautiful, but too touristy. Can't access the river unless you pay for fishing, which is disappointing. Would have been amazing to sit down on a rock and dip feet in the stream. For those who excuse fencing off the falls by claiming protection of environment from tourists - there are hundreds more waterfalls all over Japan that are open but just as clean, so no made up excuses are necessary.

Go to Izu_Hanto but not stopping by Joren Falls then it is not completely yet. Story of famous Izu dancers by Kawabata, it is here, this location is within the story, the young student with a young girl encounter through out their trips. Parking is large free, right by the way down to Jorell falls is status of the beautiful two famous innocent, light hearts romance standing. The water falls down by 200 more steps but in well maintained and well cared for every one. Down to the falls you will feel the strong of water running and clean air fresh air. Small shop for wasabi, ice cream and sign up if you want to go fishing there. It is one of the main stops in Izu peninsula if you are interested in the beautiful izu Hanto. Going up after visiting the falls then coffee shop Idoriko's coffee shop. Name from the old train used to run at this side. Gifts shops is also carrying many products, fresh wasabi 's available to purchase if you like. This place is good stop and easy to all. We loved to be here. Thank you

The photos don't do it justice, it was more spectacular than I thought, especially in the rain. The surprising bonus was the small wasabi farm also in the gorge, so you can see the waterfall and get your wasabi hit (including buying fresh wasabi) in the same place. There are about 200 steps and no wheelchair accessibility. No toilets in the gorge either.

Nice, cold, easy to reach. Try the wasabi cashews sold down at the waterfall!

Lovely way to the Beautiful water fall and wasabi field which i never saw before

The museum exhibit and the walk through the tunnel was average. Nothing impressive. We however had fun experiencing the gold panning.

Interesting tour in the gold mine with explanations in English and a small museum at the end. About 30 min. There’s also gold panning additional activity.

A great place to take your children to explore historical gold mines and the history behind it. The mine itself has a really low ceiling so need to be real cautious. There is also an area to experience panning; also a great experience for kids as it’s almost guaranteed you can find some placer gold (it’s artificial). Adult tickets are about 1900 yen for the whole pack experience. Huge parking lot.

Such a cool experience. The majority of the experience is in an air conditioned mine where animatronic robots illustrate the rigors of daily mining life. There is a small museum indoors attached to a gift shop where the record breaking gold bar resides. There is also an indoor gold panning area where you can buy tickets for a timed panning session. People will find little flecks of gold as a nice souvenir.

Interesting history. The mineral mines in this area really made this place prosperous. It was fun learning about the mine and panning for gold. The garden was also very beautiful and picturesque. They have gold foil ice cream. There’s no taste to the gold but the ice cream was delicious. Good place to stop if you’re in the area. Their restaurant is open from 11:00-15:00 with last order at 14:30. There are food trucks in the parking lot.

Creatively illustrated process of gold mining procedures that was carried out in the past here. Apart from the tunnel visit, you also get to experience the process of filtering gold from the ore. It's sort of a back bending activity, however worth trying.

Interesting place to visit, one can understand the gold mining history of Japan from here. The tunnels created for gold mining is kept and maintained for the visitors to walk around and see. Through out the tunnel models are displayed explaining the life of miners. There is a nice museum near, highlights are 12kg and 250kg gold. Visitors can touch and lift it(if you are strong enough). Another attraction is the gold panning, at an extra cost we can try out luck in gold panning at the area provided near the gift shop. One can get some interesting Omiyage from the gift shop here. Overall a good experience worth the time for kids and adults.

Absolutely phenomenal view of mount fuji via the sea, and views of the coast all around you. However, check the weather as its not a good idea to come when its cloudy or rainy due to limited visibility. Be prepared to walk 10 minutes on quite steep concrete. Nice walk however.

It was the perfect destination to take a couple. Although the place is called “Lover’s Cape,” it’s a wonderful spot for anyone to enjoy. A short 10-minute walk through lush greenery from the parking area leads to a high vantage point overlooking the sea. The area is rich in nature, with the constant song of bush warblers, and the ocean was beautiful.

It’s much more than the description on the website, before I came here, I thought the things I can do there are ringing the bell and drinking a cup of coffee. The truth is there is a big garden and a small mountain, you can enjoy the natural views and do some exercise by climbing the mountain. Moreover, the cats there are actually very cute and popular, many souvenirs are based on them! Kawaii

Nice little walk with spectacular views! You should be able to climb stairs, as there are really plenty of them 😀. Most of the time, you can walk in the forest which was really nice, as the sun was really hot when we came here.

Ring the love's bell and make your own wish for happiness in Love's. Your wish will be granted with your heart as it sayings

Really nice spot. We were there on a warm November day with a nice breeze blowing, and no snow on Mt. Fuji yet. Steep paved hike down and back to a large platform. 10-15 minute walk each way. Gift shop at the top had a few snacks and lots of souvenirs.

Very nice scenic views of the ocean and Mount Fuji. Well worth the trip on a clear day, but may not be worth it on a cloudy day. Steep hill to walk up and down from the free parking lot. Don’t forget to ring the bells with your lover!!

Packed with people. The pines were interesting. Twisted trees instead of straight. We only saw a faint outline of mount Fuji because of the haze in the sky. They say it's rarely visible in June through August. Didn't expect the air pollution in Japan.

If you’re over 5’11 beware of the pine trees they are sharp. But turning the corner and seeing Mount Fuji without too much clouds was amazing. Got the ferry and bus which took under 40min. Little bit of a walk to get the the scenic views but worth it.

Visiting Miho Pine Forest in Japan was an experience I will always cherish, even if the weather didn’t quite cooperate. I had come with the hopes of catching a breathtaking view of Mount Fuji in the distance, a vision I had seen countless times in photos. Unfortunately, the sky was blanketed with thick clouds, and Fuji-san remained hidden from sight. Despite that, the forest itself was a serene and magical place, offering a unique charm that more than made up for the missed view. Walking along the coastline, the first thing that struck me was the color of the sand. Unlike the golden beaches I’m used to, Miho’s sand is a deep, almost mysterious black a reminder of the volcanic activity that shaped this region centuries ago. There’s something grounding about walking on these dark sands, almost as if you’re stepping on history itself. The contrast between the black sand and the vibrant green pine trees lining the shore was striking, and I found myself pausing frequently just to take it all in. One of the highlights of the visit was learning about the legend of Hagoromo. According to local folklore, a celestial maiden once descended to this very beach, leaving behind her magical feathered robe. A fisherman discovered it, and through a series of events, the tale tells of love, trust, and the enchantment of the heavens touching the earth. Standing where the story unfolded gave the place a poetic aura, and I could almost imagine the soft wind carrying whispers of the legend through the pines. It made the forest feel alive with stories from the past, connecting nature with culture in a way that was profoundly moving. The walk through the forest was refreshing and peaceful. The tall pine trees swayed gently in the breeze, filling the air with the crisp, calming scent of pine. Even without the sight of Mount Fuji, there was a sense of tranquility that made the visit worthwhile. I found small spots where I could sit quietly, listening to the waves lap against the shore, feeling the soft sand beneath my feet, and simply soaking in the serene atmosphere. For photographers, this location is a treasure trove even on cloudy days. The textures of the black sand, the silhouettes of pine trees, and the often-dramatic coastal skies create perfect opportunities for moody and evocative shots. Families, couples, or solo travelers will all find something to enjoy, whether it’s a quiet stroll, a reflective pause, or just the sheer joy of being in a beautifully preserved natural space. In the end, Miho Pine Forest reminded me that sometimes the journey itself the sights, sounds, and stories is just as meaningful as any iconic view. Though Mount Fuji stayed hidden behind the clouds, the forest, the beach, and the legend of Hagoromo made the visit unforgettable. It’s a place I would happily return to, perhaps on a sunnier day, but even now, it holds a quiet, mystical charm that stays with you long after you leave.

Absolutely work the visit! It's a bit of a walk, but the beautiful pine trees, rocky beach and views of Mt. Fujitsu were so worth it!

Great view of fujisan on a good day. Have to walk a bit for the view but it was a unique scene of fujisan from this place. Recommend to go if you have time, it’s far from other usual fuji-spotting places

Didn't get to see Mt Fuji from here - granted it is summer, so low visibility anyways. But good for a walk and sightseeing!

I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting Shizuoka on a clear day. You can enjoy a unique combination of Mt. Fuji, the Pacific Ocean, and a beautiful pine forest — it’s really something special.

A mall with arcagde museum and plenty of restaurants inside and nearby. Famous for its sky fream ferris wheel and walking distance marina view seaside and entertainment of circus. Tourist attractions nearby and in one location can be seen in their vicinity map. Closed at 20:00

A hidden gem in Shimuzu where you’ll find endless eateries and retail shops. There are two floors of places to eat. You’ll find tax free shopping at Uniqlo and Gu. There’s an amusement park with a Ferris wheel and rides for kids. I had a delicious buffet lunch at Hatoba Kitchen at a reasonable price that included drinks and desserts. Make sure you visit the top floor for a beautiful view of Mt Fuji on a clear day.

It is a great place to visit, they provide free shuttle bus from Shimizu station.

Had a great time exploring this huge mall. Great food, bakery, stores and just an all around good variety of items. If you are on a cruise like me, the Google map might tell you that it is a 10 min walk..no more like a 5 min walk! There were alot of other things there like a museum and arcade and a huge ferris wheel. Great area to explore!!!

This two-level mall is situated on the Shimizu waterfront, near the International Cruise Terminal... be advised, however, that there are two separate buildings, offering different types of retail shopping.

A big beautiful mall with everything for everyone. Departmental stores, restaurants, foodcourt, amusement park, cultural events, cinemas, supermarket … etc. A bright red free shuttle bus is available at JR Shimizu Station Minato Exit (East Exit). Go to S-Pulse Dream Plaza website for details. There’s no taxi stationed at the Plaza. Have to use the taxi phone to call for one. We asked Plaza concierge for assistance. She was very kind. She helped us book a taxi to Shin-Fuji Station

We visited the Chibi Maruko Museum in Shimizu( the setting of the show). The museum is filled with nostalgia, featuring many themes and scenes directly inspired by the show.

extremely ornate temple and they also share a video onsite about the restoration efforts put in to the temple. the entrance fee may be abjt steep however the grounds are pretty big and extend beyond the ticket office. the steps down are uneven stone steps, so do take note for those who may be less mobile. I took the reverse route - Nihondaira ropeway down from Yume Terrace to the shrine, before trekking down the steps. There is an amazing view of the ocean on the way down

A magnificent temple right in front of the sea, a relaxing place that soothes you in a second. I just recommend being close for the stairs to get to the temple place. But I assure you that it is worth the effort.

There are paid parking near entrance ¥300-¥500. You can use Cable car or stairs (about 1400steps) to reach to temple. You have to buy tickets to enter the temple and ticket center is at top, ¥700 per adult. The view on the top is amazing 🤩

quite like it here - it's quiet and calm, then was able to walk around with a peaceful mind and enjoy the environment. but i went there at a late time so some entrance to the temple was already blocked, i was only able to look at it from outside. but it's beautifully built. the stairs were quite large and high, so had to walk carefully especially for elderly. i spent around an hour here but i think when it's in operation hour like around noon? when all the temples are open and welcome for worshipping, it'd be good to spend more time here to refresh and relax both body and soul here.

I recommend everyone visit this shrine and museum. I learned so much about Tokugawa here and had a wonderful experience. Just be prepared to climb a couple steps. It's worth every moment

The shrines, lanterns, scenery, etc. were beautiful! It was very crowded when we went.

Absolutely Beautiful shrine to see. I didn't know I took the easy way to the top until I was walking down the mountain. **The shrine has an entrance fee of 800¥ for an adult** There are 2 ways to get to the top. **Depends on what side of the mountain you are coming from!**** 1. You take the stairs up if you come from the sea side. (This is the main entrance) -do NOT underestimate these stairs, there are A LOT of stairs. Be prepared to be super tired, and bring water with you. 2. Coming from the zoo side you can take a bus ride to the top, then take the really cool ropeway to the shrine. - to use the ropeway it is 700¥ one way, so be prepared to pay that fee if you want to go to the shrine. If you have a goshuin book, they have the written seal area outside the shrine next to the ticket booth. People were nice and directed you where to go. All and all, this was a great visit and well worth the time it took me to get here. If you go, please be respectful of the sacred area, this is a religious and worship site. Conduct yourself accordingly!

I visited Nihondaira Zoo to see and pet the capybara, but unfortunately, I arrived too late. Visitors should come earlier because petting the capybara is only allowed before 12 PM. The polar bear was adorable, swimming happily in its ice pool, bringing joy to everyone watching. The red panda was incredibly cute, and the zoo has a wide variety of monkeys to see. Visiting on a Sunday and taking the bus is not recommended as the place gets quite crowded. A delightful experience overall!

Awesome place to visit with your kids. We enjoyed our visit with our one year old baby who was very amazed to see various different animals for the first time.

Nihondaira Zoo is a fantastic destination, especially for families and animal lovers! The capybara exhibit was a highlight, and each animal’s environment is thoughtfully designed, making it enjoyable to explore. The zoo has a diverse collection of animals, ensuring there's something for everyone. The staff were exceptionally helpful, providing clear information and directions, and the amenities were clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend Nihondaira Zoo for a fun and memorable outing!

Although the animals look a little sad and stressed out, the zoo is pretty small and has lots of animals in a small space so you don't have to walk as much as an American zoo. The tiger is trapped in like a one bedroom space and elephant is by itself even if it's illegal to have elephant by itself in the US cus it's supposed to be in packs in many acres of land. This zoo had it's elephant in a tiny tiny jail kind of space. The curry in the cafeteria was so good.

A nice and clean quaint zoo that started in the 60s. Most of the animals seemed content and well cared for. I enjoyed my time here. Watch out for school trips as the zoo can become quite busy.

Great place to enjoy with family I definitely will go again because it was raining so we couldn't enjoy the Playland they have there. There's a big slide but it was closed. Maybe next time, we can't wait 😊🙏✨

Really worth visiting. Ticket for 1 Adult is only 620yen. If you want to ride auto-chair, only 100yen for one way.

Free charge. There is a statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and it is the place where he spent his later years. Good place of walking and running.

Great park did some laps jogging. A few nice castle structures and fish.

Lovely park in the middle of the city, lots of benches available. Public toilets are available too.

Nice walking area with several paths, a nice garden, and two historical museums. Though the museums are 95% japanese text as of April 2024. There's also a nice 30 minute boat ride around the moat for 1000¥. The boat tour guide only speaks in Japanese as well but that's okay, you can focus on taking pictures. Note at the end of the ride the roof is lowered and you have to bend down while you go under the low bridge. One tip, board on the left side of the boat which means you'll be on the right side while going around the park. It has a better view for pictures most of the ride.

Went to the park that has Tokugawa Ieyasu statue and his orange groves. Was very impressed and nice to make his acquaintance. I traveled to Shizuoka and have learned a lot in the last two days and having a guide helped because I was able to go to all the places of interest that I wanted to experience. Took many pictures of trees and the moat area as well. Shizuoka is an interesting place and everyone should visit this place at least once in their life.

I went for the Shizuoka festival! It was a beautiful park to enjoy the Sakura blossoms and spend time with family and friends. Lots of food stalls and even shows during the festival. I would like to come back next year!

Sunpu Castle At Aoi-Ku, Shizuoka, Shizuoka.Japan Relaxing .a MUST see in the list ! The castle grounds are now replaced by a nice and relaxing park. Nonetheless a lot of castle remains can be found throughout the park. In the big park signs are everywhere to make sure you will not get lost. The park itself is very peaceful and nicely set up. It is also used for all kind of public activities. One has to pay to enter the Sumpu Castle Park though (Adults ¥360, children less) as well as additionally fees if you wish to visit one or both of the reconstructed turrets.

(Translated by Google) This is the 2024 air show. This year, the Blue Impulse was flying, and it was a great turnout. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, but they flew safely and showed off a lot of tricks. Everyone was excited to see where they would come from, and when someone said, "It's over there!" everyone took out their cameras at once, and it felt like the audience was one. I was able to see various airplanes up close, and I also saw a tank. The tank's trick of spinning around was a bit choking on the exhaust fumes. But it was surprising that such a large vehicle could be so maneuverable. There were also goods for sale and food trucks at the venue, so we had a lot of fun. I reached the limit of the number of photos, so I couldn't post photos of the food, but everything was delicious. I'm looking forward to going to the air show in 2025 as well. It's a bit disappointing that the Blue Impulse will be going to an air show at another base this year, but... (Original) 2024年の航空祭です。 この年はブルーインパルスが飛行するという事で、すごい人でした。 あいにくの曇り空でしたが、無事に飛んでくれて、たくさんの技を披露してくれました。 どこから飛んでくるのか、みんなドキドキで、誰かのあそこだ！の声で一斉にカメラを構えて観客も一体になった感じでした。 間近で色んな飛行機も観れたし、戦車も観れました。戦車のぐるぐる回る技は、排気ガスがすごくてちょっとむせました。でもあんなに大きな車体で、あんなに小回りがきくのが意外でした。 会場内には、グッズ販売、キッチンカーなどもあり、色々楽しめました。 写真の枚数上限に達したので、食べ物の写真は載せられませんでしたが、どれも美味しくて良かったです。 2025年も航空祭行かせてもらうので、楽しみにしています。今年はブルーインパルスは他の基地の航空祭に行ってしまうのが、ちょっと残念ですが…。

It was crowded with food shops and Self-Defense Force goods stores. Blue Impulse・T-7・UH-60J・ We were shown the T-4, F-2, Extra EA300, F-15, and T-7jr. Despite the unfortunate weather, I was overwhelmed by the power of the flight and sound. It was so wonderful. Thanks to the dozens of shuttle buses, I was able to participate in the festival and return home comfortably without having to wait long. The cooperation between everyone involved was wonderful. thank you very much.

(Translated by Google) The Air Festival is held on a Sunday in late May every year. It will be held. Start-up flight of foreign aircraft will start from Gifu base F-15 and F-2 often come flying It's impressive. The year when Blue Impulse comes there is. The aircraft belonging to the base is a T-7, with a propeller It is a primary training aircraft, but from the runway Watch takeoffs and landings and formation flights up close This is also impressive. By the way, there are general public at the base for visitors. There is no parking lot, so from Yaizu Station Yaizu Port is about 10 minutes walk away. There is a temporary parking lot. Park your car there and go to the south exit of Yaizu Station. Walk and take the paid shuttle bus It becomes. The bus will be crowded on the way back, but There are many buses, and There's no need to wait. From Hamamatsu Air Base in Shizuoka Prefecture Although the scale is small, it is sufficient This is an aviation festival that you can enjoy. postscript 2024 Air Festival will be held at Yaizu Shinko temporary parking lot The shuttle bus became free from It looks like it will be operating. (Original) 毎年5月下旬の日曜日に航空祭が 開催されます。 外来機の起動飛行は岐阜基地から F-15、F-2が飛来する事が多く 迫力があります。 ブルーインパルスが来る年も あります。 基地所属機はT-7で、プロペラの 初等練習機ですが滑走路からの 離発着や編隊飛行が間近に見れ これも迫力があります。 ちなみに来場には基地に一般 駐車場は無く、焼津駅から 徒歩10分程度のところに焼津港 臨時駐車場があります。 そこに車をとめて焼津駅南口まで 歩いて有料シャトルバスに乗車 となります。 帰りはバスは混み合いますが、 バスの台数は多く、それほど 待つ事もありません。 同じ静岡県にある浜松基地より 規模は小さいですが、十分 楽しめる内容の航空祭です。 追記 2024年度航空祭は焼津新港臨時駐車場 から無料になったシャトルバスが 運行される様です。

(Translated by Google) This base is usually used for training flights for pilot candidates. If you're lucky enough to come across one while doing a touch-and-go, you'll be able to see the landing and takeoff scene in its entirety. There is an air festival once a year, and various aircraft fly from each base. There are some years when the famous Blue Impulse doesn't come, but in those cases there seems to be a tendency for fighter jets such as F-15s and F-2s to fly more maneuverably. Previously, you could enter the grassy area on the south side of the runway, but recently you can no longer enter, so I would like to be able to enter this area again like before. (Original) 普段はパイロット候補生の訓練飛行を行っている基地です。運良くタッチアンドゴーをやっている時に出会せば、着陸と離陸のシーンを存分に見る事が出来ます。年に1回航空祭が有り、各基地から色々な機体が飛んできます。名物のブルーインパルスは来ない年も有りますが、その際はF-15やF-2など戦闘機の機動飛行を多めにやる傾向が有るようです。以前は滑走路南側の芝生地帯にも入れたのですが、昨今は入れなくなっているので、ここは以前のように、また入れるようにして欲しいところです。

(Translated by Google) I visited for an air festival. Thank you to all the Self-Defense Forces personnel who worked early this morning. The Self-Defense Forces personnel give me a very pleasant greeting. As visitors, we also had a great time. On the day of the air festival, I take a shuttle bus from Yaizu Station, but I have never had the experience of running a shuttle bus within the base. There was also a cenotaph for the victims of the last war, which made me feel deeply moved. I'm looking forward to the next time. (Original) 航空祭で訪問しました。 朝早くから自衛官の皆様ありがとうございます。 自衛官の方々はとても気持ちの良い挨拶をしてくれます。訪問者の我々も気持ちよく楽しめました。 航空祭当日は焼津駅からシャトルバスで行くのですが基地内をシャトルバスで走る経験は今まで無かったです。 先の大戦の慰霊碑もあり感慨深い気持ちになりました。 次回も楽しみです。

(Translated by Google) I usually look up to the Blue exhibition flights at air festivals and the daily T-7 training flights, but on the 25th of last month, I had the pleasure of participating in a trial flight on the CH-47J. This was the first time I was able to take off in a Chinook from this runway. I was happy to be able to see my hometown from above. thank you very much. To all the flight students, please become good pilots and serve the national defense! (Original) いつもは、航空祭のブルーの展示飛行や日常行われているT－７の訓練飛行を仰ぎ見ていますが、先月25日、CH-47Jの体験搭乗に参加させていただきました。初めてこの滑走路からチヌークで飛び立つことができました。地元を上空から見ることができて幸せでした。ありがとうございました。飛行学生の皆さん、腕に良いパイロットになって国防よろしくお願いします！

Tulips are so beautiful 🌷❣️

The park is way bigger than I imagined it to be just by looking at the map. There are many people during the weekend playing games, riding bikes, skating and spending their times with their families. Great place to take photos, relax or take walks.

Beautiful Park to relax, My family picnic place and stress reliever ❤️
