    A castle that serves as an observation deck, located a five-minute walk from the Kataoka Kita-Yoshida Tokubetsu Shien Gakko bus stop, a 25-minute ride on the Shizutetsu Just Line Bus from JR Shimada Station. Takeda Shingen first used this site as a fortress in 1568, but built a castle in 1571 and renamed Koyama Castle. Visitors can see relics dug up among the castle ruins, pictures of samurai, and a tea house. The observation deck affords a view of Mt. Fuji, and the cherry trees on the grounds are illuminated during the spring blossom season.

    Lovely gardens and castle, very helpful English speaking staff around to answer any questions and give an insight to the history of the gardens.

    Shimoda, Shizuoka prefecture 1-18-26
    This temple of the Jodo Shinshu sect in Shizuoka Prefecture’s Shimoda City was the Shimoda magistrate’s office at the end of the Edo Shogunate, and served as lodgings for the Shogunate government officials during Japan-U.S. negotiations then. It is famous as a temple where Kaishu Katsu gave an audience to Yodo Yamauchi, the feudal lord of Tosa, and had him pardon Ryoma Sakamoto’s crime of becoming a lordless samurai. The room where this happened has been left as it was at the time. On the premises is the grave of the geisha Okichi, who met an unnatural death after serving the American consul Townsend Harris, and there is also the Tojin Okichi Memorial Hall which displays photos and mementos of Okichi.

    A small temple at the end of the road by the Black Ship museum makes for a good turn around point. ;)

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.
