Shizuoka Prefecture

Shizuoka Prefecture

Shizuoka, a Japanese prefecture on central Honshu's Pacific coast, is home to 3,776m-tall Mt. Fuji, Japan's highest peak. Within this iconic volcano's foothills are the ancient Fujisan Hongu Sengen shrine and the Shiraito and Otodome waterfalls. Fuji itself, crossed with trails, is a major hiking destination. To the south, the Izu Peninsula is known for its beaches, such as Shimoda, and onsen (hot spring) resorts.
