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

An Amazing Tour

Mariko is our tour guide. She's wonderful. She is well prepared. She has stuff to give to us including itinerary for the day. Because we have a group of 4 people, prior to our tour, she helps us reserve a car service rather using taxi. We would have to get 2 taxis instead because one won't fit all of us. Her English is excellent and communication with her is a breeze. She goes above and beyond to make this tour as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Mariko.

Our guide Ikuyo was amazing. She helped select what was to be a fantastic itinerary which started with her picking us up at the cruise terminal. Ikuyo, was extremely knowledgeable professional and very articulate. We learnt so much about Japanese culture in our discussions with her and thoroughly enjoyed the ceremonial tea experience during a little break at the tower whilst admiring the view of Mount Fuji. A wonderful experience made all the more pleasurable with her valuable input and contribution. Highly recommended.
Best Day Ever
