  • Shimoda Park
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture 3
    This is a nature park located on a slightly elevated hill, and you can see the Pacific with one sweep of the eye from its three observation platforms. It is the site of the ruins of the mountain castle, Shimoda Castle which the Hojo clan built in preparation of their confrontation with Hideyoshi. The best time to see Azaleas is in spring, hydrangeas in early summer, and then the common camellia is during winter. The “Hydrangea Festival” is also held every June. Since there is a monument to the opening of Japan to the world and a stone monument of Shimooka Renjo, let’s enjoy a walk while thinking about the history of Shimoda.

Shizuoka Areas

around-area-map

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
