Horaibashi-The longest wooden pedestrian bridge in the world

Surrounded by peaceful waters and distant mountains, the bridge offers views that perfectly blend nature and craftsmanship. It’s not just a crossing, it’s an unforgettable experience of scale and tradition.
Green Tea Plantation in Makinohara Plateau

As you stroll among the rows, you’ll gain a new appreciation for the care and artistry that goes into each leaf. This stop is both a feast for the eyes and a taste of Shizuoka’s proud agricultural heritage.
Makinohara Park
Take a refreshing break in Makinohara Park, where sweeping open lawns and seasonal flowers create a picture-perfect setting. The park offers panoramic views of the surrounding plateau and serves as a tranquil pause between visits. It’s an ideal place to capture photos and simply soak in the slower pace of rural Japan.
