Shizuoka, a picturesque prefecture in Japan, is a treasure trove of natural and cultural wonders. As you wander through the Makinohara tea plantation, your senses are captivated by the close-up view of vibrant green tea leaves flourishing under the warm sun. The serenity is momentarily interrupted as the Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train whizzes past Mount Fuji in Yoshiwara, leaving you in awe of both modern engineering and majestic nature. Walking along the old Tokaido Road, you encounter the historic stone paving known as ishidatami. This ancient path once connected Tokyo to Kyoto, bearing witness to countless footsteps throughout history. As you tread upon these stones, imagine yourself retracing the steps of samurais and merchants from centuries past. Gazing towards the horizon, Mount Fuji emerges majestically amidst ethereal clouds. Its iconic silhouette stands tall and proud against an ever-changing sky – a symbol of Japan's beauty and resilience. Returning to present-day Shizuoka, rows upon rows of meticulously cultivated green tea bushes adorn Makinohara's vast plantations. These emerald gems not only provide a stunning landscape but also produce some of Japan's finest teas renowned for their delicate flavors. As life continues its bustling rhythm in Shizuoka, even traffic on Tomei Expressway offers glimpses of Mt. Fuji's grandeur from afar. Amidst cars zooming by like miniature ants on this modern highway network lies a reminder that nature still reigns supreme over man-made marvels. In addition to its natural splendor, aviation enthusiasts will find delight at Shizuoka Airport with aircraft such as Curtiss C-46A Commando 91-1138 or North American F-86F Sabre 02-7966 soaring through its skies.
