WHAT YOU VISIT
Tea Museum Shizuoka
Japan's time-honored tea culture is showcased here in a number of fun and interactive exhibits. Learn tea's 1,200-year history and its impact on Japanese arts, crafts, architecture, and landscaping.
Horai Bridge
Completed during the Meiji era in 1879, it's recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest wooden pedestrian bridge. You're invited to stroll the 897-meter-long (2,944-foot-long) bridge, which crosses the Oi River.
Ogane Family Residence
Once the home of feudal warlords, the 300-year-old Edo dwelling is famed for its colorful garden. Over 10,000 hydrangeas bloom from late May to early July and during fall, you'll find a profusion of cotton rosemallows, commonly known as hibiscus.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
The front gate and the main building of the Ogane Family Residence are nationally designated as Important Cultural Properties. If you walk up the hill behind the house, you can enjoy panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay.
