Deep Travel in Shizuoka, Japan - A Feast for the Eyes with Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay

There are many attractions in Shizuoka Prefecture that boast 'Fuji views' as a selling point, such as the Izu Panorama Park on the Izu Peninsula, which is one of them. You can take a cable car to get a high vantage point to admire the scenery of Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay. After renovations, it reopened on July 21st, offering not only a distant view of Mount Fuji but also a panoramic view of the beautiful curve of Suruga Bay. If you're looking for a must-visit photo spot for Mount Fuji, this place is definitely worthy.

Not only does it provide tourists with safe and comfortable new facilities, but both the mountaintop and the foot of the mountain have been renovated, greatly increasing the outdoor open space, especially the brand new 'Biru Terrace' which takes visitors from the commanding height of 452 meters on Mount Katsuragi to appreciate the luxurious and boundless scenery.
The cable car ropeway, which can be said to be the landmark of Izu-no-Kuni Panorama Park, is about 1800m long and 452m high. As you ascend along the ropeway, you can enjoy the street views of Izu-no-Kuni and Mount Fuji, which are truly moving. Once at the top, you can gaze at the magnificent scenery.

Among them, the 'Fujimi Viewing Platform' which was born in July 2016, is a place created with great effort where you can comfortably enjoy the scenery. The luxurious lounge with only six seats feels like a private room. In the sofa area, you can take photos with Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay as the backdrop. On the wooden terrace of the Katsuragi Tea House, you can enjoy the breathtaking view while savoring delicious food.
