Take a break while enjoying the spectacular view at Nihondaira Yume Terrace Nihondaira Yume Terrace is an observatory where you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Mount Fuji, Suruga Bay, and the city of Shizuoka. The building was designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates, who also designed the New National Stadium, and many tourists visit the building itself. On the first floor, visitors can learn about the history, culture, and topography of Nihondaira through touch panels and projection mapping; on the second floor, there is a café serving Shizuoka-grown tea, and the observation deck is on the third floor. Fuji, Shimizu Port, and cherry blossoms. Fuji, Shimizu Port, and the cherry blossoms. As the haze becomes stronger as the temperature rises, it is best to visit in the winter, when Mt. The cafe on the second floor is also surrounded by large windows, allowing visitors to enjoy the view of Nihondaira without having to go up to the observation floor. During the hot season or winter, it is nice to be able to take a break before going up to the observation floor to look at the distant scenery. The timing of my visit was also blessed with spring weather, so I ordered an iced green tea latte (750 yen). The refreshing sweetness of the tea was intertwined with the milk and soaked in just the right amount of milk. Combined with the scenery and climate, it was one of the most exceptional teas I have encountered since arriving in Shizuoka. The museum was one-way, but admission was free, so I recommend making several rounds of the museum to enjoy the scenery and architecture before taking a break.
Nihon-daira Ropeway to Kunouzan Toshogu Shrine After taking a break at the cafe, we headed for the ropeway stop located right across the parking lot. The Nihondaira Ropeway will take you to Kunouzan Toshogu Shrine in about 5 minutes. Asama Shrine, which we visited on the first day, is also associated with Nikko, but Kunouzan and Nikko are also closely related as both have their own Toshogu shrines. Toshogu is a shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu as Tosho Daigongen. Of the more than 100 Toshogu shrines that still remain, Nikko Toshogu, Kunouzan Toshogu, and Horaizan Toshogu are considered the three major Toshogu shrines in Japan. Ieyasu’s grave is also located at Nikko Toshogu, but it was at Kunouzan Toshogu that his corpse was buried. While Nikko Toshogu was a place where civilians could visit, Kunouzan Toshogu was long closed as a private place for the Tokugawa family. Today, it is open to all and houses the Kunouzan Toshogu Museum, which houses many of Ieyasu’s private possessions. About 40 more stone steps behind the main hall lead up to the mausoleum where Ieyasu is buried. The story of Ieyasu’s burial facing west in a stone pagoda is well known. To the west of Kunouzan Toshogu is Horaiji Temple, where Ieyasu’s mother, Oodai no Mata, prayed for a child, and further west is Okazaki Castle, where Ieyasu was born. Ieyasu built the foundation of a peaceful country, but this episode shows how he lived as a human being and the connection between life and death. This time, we were also allowed to visit the ascending shrine and experienced reading aloud Ieyasu’s legacy. These words, which seem obvious, but would be difficult to implement, were inspired by the life of Ieyasu, who spent his entire life governing the country. Ieyasu’s legacy: A man’s life is a long way from home with a heavy burden, so do not rush.
Necessity is the mother of invention
If you have a desire in your heart, think of the time when you were in trouble
Patience is the key to success
Think of anger as your enemy.
Knowing only what will win and not knowing what will lose will do you harm
condemn the offense, but not the offender
less is better than more
Many Strawberry Shops at the Foot of Mt. Kunou Shizuoka Prefecture boasts the fourth largest harvest of strawberries in Japan. In Shizuoka City, “Benihoppe,” “Shohime,” and “Kirapika” are also produced, but they are mainly shipped to the Kansai region and are not sold in the Kanto region. We were thirsty after walking down the mountain, so we could not pass by the strawberry shops at the foot of the mountain. Attracted by the pretty pink building overlooking the sea, we paid a visit to “Hayakawa Farm & Cafe Strawberry Field. I purchased a strawberry soft drink from the ticket machine inside the store. It is sweet with just the right amount of sourness, and you can really taste the strawberry as a fruit. At the eat-in restaurant, they serve hearty parfaits and pancakes. As souvenirs, you can buy large packs of fresh strawberries and homemade strawberry jam. I bought a large pack of strawberries and strawberry jam. The strawberries had a good balance of sweetness and tartness, and were perfect for a quick snack with a cup of tea. The strawberry jam had a hint of sweetness from the sugar and the grains were still there, so I added it to strawberry flavored tea and enjoyed it as if it were Russian tea.
