Castle tourism in Shizuoka Prefecture

Shizuoka Prefecture is home to many scenic spots surrounded by nature, including the world heritage sacred mountain Mt. Fuji, Miho no Matsubara, Shiraito Falls, and early blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms. There are also historical spots such as Mishima Taisha Shrine, which is connected to Minamoto no Yoritomo, and the Toro ruins. It is also characterized by the fact that there are many places connected to Ieyasu Tokugawa, such as Hamamatsu Castle, which was built by Ieyasu Tokugawa, and Sunpu Castle, where he retired. We also recommend spots such as famous hot springs such as Atami Onsen and Shuzenji Onsen, as well as Izu Kogen, where you can visit various museums. For railway enthusiasts, the Oigawa Railway, where the Thomas train runs, is a must-see.
