    Shizuoka Pref. Fujinomiyashi Yamamiya 3670
    A museum in Yamamiya, Fujinomiya City. It was opened as Japan's first museum for stones in 1971. The variety of rare stones are displayed here not according to a mineralogical viewpoint, but using a viewpoint that compares them to animals or plants, based on Unkonshi-Japan's first expert stone manual, written by Sekitei Kiuchi, a naturalist of the Edo period. There are also exhibits of gemstones, luminous stones, dinosaur fossils and other fossils, and of materials related to Kenji Miyazawa (famous poet and author) as a geologist.

    40年ぶりの2度目、展示がわかりやすく楽しく見られる。付属館が休館していて残念だったので、また行きたい。

    Shizuoka Fuji-shi Denbo 66-2
    "The museum is located in Hiromi Park, one of the major parks in Fuji City, and was renovated from the Fuji City Museum to the ""Fuji Kaguyahime Museum"" in 2016 under the new name of ""Living in Fuji. The adjacent History and Folklore Museum introduces the fishing industry and rice cultivation."

    10時頃、入館する。周りは、行政の関係建物などがあり、駐車場も、割合利用できるとおもいます。 館内は、ほとんどパスして、公園内の散歩するのがいいと思います。犬を連れて散歩している方もあり、近所の方が来ている感じです。かぐや姫会館も、そこそこ充実した展示で、お勉強ができます。

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.
