Nihondaira

Nihondaira is located near the summit of Mt. Udo.

Visitors can enjoy the view from Shimizu port and Miho pine grove under their eyes, the mountain ranges in Izu, Shizuoka city, and the mountains of southern Alps and even to Omaezaki. It is especially famous for the great view of Mount Fuji and its excellent night view. From the summit of the mountain, visitors can go to Kunouzan Toshogu Shrine by ropeway and visit a museum that displays luxurious shrine buildings and objects relating to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
