Shizuoka
Shizuoka is famous for three things- Mount Fuji (the highest mountain in Japan), Onsen (Japanese hot springs) and Japanese tea. It is a unique experience to look out on Mount Fuji while relaxing in a traditional-style hot spring bath.
Many hotels and ryokans are located around Mount Fuji in Shizuoka.
If you are interested in trying some Japanese food, we would recommend some delicious sushi with Japanese tea and Wasabi - a special product of Shizuoka.
It is located in Shizuoka prefecture, eastern foot of Mt. Fuji. There is the most popular outlet mall in there and there are various kinds of shops included luxury and casual. It is also very easy to access from Hakone.
You can get the directly buses to the 5th of Mt. Fuji (Shojisubashiriguchi / the lowest of the 5th station in Mt. Fuji) from Gotemba rail station.
