What To Expect

Miho Seacoast (Miho no Matsubara Beach)

Miho-no-Matsubara has long been known as a fantastic spot from which to view Mt. Fuji, and has even been featured in traditional Japanese ukiyo-e paintings. There are approximately 30,000 pine trees on the 7km coastline, and the sight of Mt. Fuji beyond them is one that has represented Japan over the ages. When Mt. Fuji was registered as a World Heritage Site, Miho-no-Matsubara was included as a component. On the coast there you can also find Hagoromo no Matsu, a pine tree that is said to have been visited by an angel.

Kunozan Toshogu Shrine

Kunozan Toshogu is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who unified Japan after it had been divided by war for centuries and established the Edo Shogunate about 400 years ago. The shrine is on the 216m-high Mt. Kuno in Nihondaira, and the recommended way to get there is by ropeway gondola from Nihondaira. There, you can witness a view of Suruga Bay and all the way to Izu Peninsula from the precincts. Once you've finished paying your respects at the shrine and enjoying the buildings with their richly colored decorations, be sure to stop in the Kunozan Toshogu Museum where you can see various treasures related to the Tokugawa family, such as armor and helmets. Entrance fee to shrine building: 500 JPY/adult, 200 JPY/elementary school and junior high school student; entrance fee to museum: 400 JPY/adult, 150 JPY/elementary school and junior high school student ※Joint ticket for shrine building and museum: 800 JPY/adult, 300 JPY/elementary school and junior high school student

Acchan gave us such a wonderful 6-hour Shizuoka experience. She took the time to research our requests and even called ahead so each place was ready to welcome us. Her English is excellent, and she shared so much knowledge and insight in such an easy, friendly way. Acchan went out of her way to make everything special, and we’ll always remember this trip because of her

Acchan was a fabulous tour guide from the emails prior to the tour up to when she dropped us off to the cruise ship terminal. She helped us navigate through the public transit system and then taxis per our request. Our group had two grandparents, two parents and two kids (11 and 13 year old). It was hot and humid so we took our time to go to Nihondaira (Ropeway and Kunozan Toshogu Shrine) and Kashi no Ichi Fish Market. We enjoyed the great information and company of Acchan, and fresh sushi from fish market. We learned about Japan’s culture, history and food through this tour. Fuji-San made a short appearance through the cloudy skies. So many pictures, knowledge and memories to treasure forever. We had a wonderful time!
Interesting, learnt so much history

Ana our guide went out of her way to make us comfortable with what we wanted to do. She was so welcoming. If you do this tour request Ana. She is a local who grew up here and is very knowledgeable. She was an English teacher at the local school making her fluent in English. Highly recommend this tour with Ana.
