What To Expect
Obuchi Sasaba
This stop is available only for those who select "7 hours Tea Field Route". Obuchi Sasaba is one of the most photogenic tea field areas in Fuji City, known for its beautiful view of green tea plantations with Mt. Fuji in the background. It is a rare viewpoint where visitors can enjoy a clean, open composition of tea fields and Mt. Fuji without many visible power lines, making it especially popular for photos. The area is usually open as a free scenic tea garden, and the peaceful landscape offers a refreshing introduction to Shizuoka’s tea culture and the natural beauty around Mt. Fuji.
Otodome Waterfall
Located just a short walk from Shiraito Falls, Otodome Falls is a powerful, single-drop waterfall plunging 25 meters into a rocky gorge. The name "Otodome" means "Sound Stopping," referring to a local legend where the thundering roar of the waterfall suddenly ceased during a dramatic samurai tale. Unlike the gentle curtain of Shiraito, Otodome offers a more intense and dynamic natural spectacle, making the contrast between the two falls a memorable experience.
