Shizuoka

The best time to visit Shizuoka is in spring and autumn to enjoy the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms and maple leaves. Summer is the season for fireworks displays, and winter is a good time for hot spring baths.

Must-visit attractions in Shizuoka include Mount Fuji, Atami Onsen and Shuzenji Onsen on the Izu Peninsula, as well as the Shimizu Port Fireworks Festival and the Abe River Fireworks Festival.
