majestic form of Mount Fuji looming up from its northern border, Shizuoka is a highly scenic prefecture located on the Pacific coast of Japan's central Chubu region. Recently, I kicked off 2022 with a six-day journey from the base of Mount Fuji to the tip of the Izu Peninsula and back again, along the way taking in a range of fun activities, historic sites and naturally some of Shizuoka's most spectacular views.</p> <p>While spring and autumn tend to be the first choice for many visitors to Japan - this trip would highlight for me just how beautiful it can also be in the winter, with views stretching far and wide in the clear January air. Although my itinerary here can be easily replicated using public transport, I chose to use a rental car and found much to enjoy - from peaceful, gently winding roads to sudden sweeping views of mountains and ocean.</p> <figure class="image image--ratio" style="max-width:688px;"> <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 118.45930232558%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="688" height="815" data-src="/g22/2201_fujisan.gif"></div></figure> <p>In the first overnight leg of my journey, I made my way in a wide arc from Fuji City to the sleepy fishing village of Heda on the western side of the Izu Peninsula, with stops on the way for winter sports and a mountaintop panoramic view.</p> <h3>Day 1</h3> <p>Stepping off the shinkansen at Shin-Fuji Station, I was immediately treated to an inspiring view of Japan's best-known mountain, looming majestically over the city's rooftops. Despite the chill in the air, the sky was bright and clear, setting an optimistic tone for the journey ahead.</p> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/021822_shizuoka_01.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/021822_shizuoka_01.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/021822_shizuoka_01.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/021822_shizuoka_01.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/021822_shizuoka_01.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/021822_shizuoka_01.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">A view of Fuji from platform one of Shin-Fuji Station</span> </figcaption></figure> <p>Although confident that I'd be getting all the Fuji views I could handle in the days to come, I couldn't resist a dash to the end of the platform for a first unobstructed look - however many times I lay eyes upon it, that first glance at its massive scale and gracefully sloping form is always somehow a new marvel.</p> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/021822_shizuoka_02.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/021822_shizuoka_02.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/021822_shizuoka_02.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/021822_shizuoka_02.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/021822_shizuoka_02.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/021822_shizuoka_02.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">A clearer view from the end of the platform</span> </figcaption></figure> <p>Making my way out of the station, I picked up my rental car and was soon en route to my first stop of the day, an expanse of rice fields just outside the city's eastern limits, between Mt Fuji's foothills and the northern shore of the Suruga Bay.</p> <p>Although not an attraction in the traditional sense, the spot has become popular among photographers thanks to the Tokaido Shinkansen line running alongside, creating an iconic photo opportunity. With plenty of space to park and only a few minutes to wait for the next train to speed past from either side, it's a quick and entirely hassle-free place to get some great pictures.</p> <figure class="image image--ratio" > <div class="image__mask" style="padding-top: 66.696428571429%"><img class="image__img lazyload" width="1120" height="747" data-src="/ad/g/021822_shizuoka_03.jpg" data-srcset="/ad/g/021822_shizuoka_03.jpg 1120w,/ad/g/1100/021822_shizuoka_03.jpg 1100w,/ad/g/902/021822_shizuoka_03.jpg 902w,/ad/g/740/021822_shizuoka_03.jpg 740w,/ad/g/415/021822_shizuoka_03.jpg 415w" data-sizes="auto"></div> <figcaption class="image__caption s-typography--links"> <span class="image__caption_text">A speeding shinkansen set against Mount Fuji</span> </figcaption></figure> <p>After a few attempts from slightly different spots, I jumped back in the car for a fifty-minute drive northeast, winding my way through foothills towards Mount Fuji's second station.
