Step back in time to explore the key historical sites of Shizuoka.
Begin at Sunpu Castle Park, built by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1585. View the ruins of this Edo-period castle, its stone walls and moats, and the East Gate and guard tower reconstructed using the original blueprints. See the bronze statue of Ieyasu and an orange tree believed to have been planted by him.
Next, head to the Momijiyama Japanese Garden, located adjacent to Castle Park. The park has four landscaped gardens and a traditional teahouse.
View the Shizuoka Sengen Shrine — a complex of three main architectural buildings. The shrine features an extensive collection of artifacts from the Tokugawa Shogunate that ruled Japan for 300 years during the Edo period.
Complete your day at Miho-no-Matsubara. This picturesque pine grove along the eastern coast of the Miho Peninsula is a designated spot of scenic beauty because of its majestic views of Mt Fuji (weather permitting).
Notes:
You will not enter the museum at Shizuoka Shrine. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, sand, and steps. Views of Mt Fuji are weather permitting. No guarantee is offered with regard to visibility or views on any particular day, as weather and atmospheric conditions vary and are beyond the tour operator's control. Sunpu Castle Park is closed on Mondays. Bring local currency, as many vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars. Unfamiliar accents can be challenging; feel free to ask your guide to repeat or elaborate on information, and to speak more slowly so you can fully comprehend and converse. Shizuoka Sengen Shrine is undergoing restoration; some views may be obscured.
