Nihondaira/Nihondaira Dream Terrace
Located on a hilly area at an altitude of 307m, the panoramic view of Mt. Fuji over the tea fields, Shimizu Port, the Izu Peninsula, and the Southern Alps below is truly the most spectacular view in Japan. The Nihon-daira Ropeway operates between the summit and Kunozan Toshogu Shrine in 5 minutes, and you can enjoy the beauty of Suruga Bay and the seasonal scenery of Byobudani. In November 2018, the Nihon-daira Yume Terrace, a new observation facility where you can enjoy a beautiful 360-degree view of Mt. Fuji, Miho no Matsubara, Suruga Bay, Shizuoka city, and more, was opened. In addition to enjoying the view from the summit of Nihon-daira in even more comfort, you can also enjoy the history, origins, and cultural value of Nihon-daira through projection mapping and other displays.
