List of photography spots in Shizuoka Prefecture

Shizuoka Prefecture is an area with magnificent views of Mt. Fuji, the open sea of Suruga Bay, mountains rich in nature, and flowers of the four seasons. The area is easily accessible from Tokyo and Nagoya, and can be fully enjoyed either as a day trip or as an overnight stay.

In spring, "Gotemba Tokinosu" and "Hamamatsu Flower Park" are in full bloom with colorful flowers, and visitors can enjoy the collaboration with Mt. Fuji from "Miho no Matsubara" in summer, and the clear Lake Tanuki and Sunmatakyo create a refreshing and spectacular view of nature. In autumn, the autumn leaves along the "Oigawa Railway" and the beauty of the valley around "Umegashima Onsen" provide a quiet and healing time. In winter, when the air is clear, the views of Mt. Fuji from Nihondaira and the Izu Peninsula are especially beautiful, and the collaboration with the sunrise and sunset is a must-see.

The prefecture also has many unexplored spots such as "Oku Oi Lake Station" and "Yume no Suspension Bridge," making it an unforgettable place for photographers to take pictures. Because of the close proximity of the sea and mountains, Shizuoka Prefecture's charm lies in the fact that visitors can encounter completely different landscapes just by moving from one place to another.

Shizuoka Prefecture's scenic spots are recommended for those who want to be healed by nature, for those who are looking for a memorable view, and for those who want to take beautiful pictures with the background of Mt. Why not take a step away from your busy daily life and be surrounded by beautiful scenery along with quiet time?
