Itinerary
Perched on the Nihondaira hillside, IAI Stadium Nihondaira is the home of Shimizu S-Pulse and one of Japan’s most scenic stadium settings. On clear days, enjoy sweeping views of Mt. Fuji (Japan’s highest peak) and Suruga Bay (Japan’s deepest bay)—a great “wow” stop for photos and a taste of Shizuoka’s football culture. NOTICE: Since this is a private and personalizable tour, the spots you visit may differ from these listed and best spots will be advised by licensed guide based on your interests and preferecfes. This plan focuses on the stadium exterior and nearby viewpoints and does not include interior access. Optional upgrade: A guided stadium tour (interior access) is available only on limited dates. Please contact us in advance to check availability.
Start your day at Nihondaira, one of Shizuoka’s most scenic viewpoints. From the terrace and surrounding walkways, enjoy wide-open views over Suruga Bay—and on clear days, Mt. Fuji rising beyond the coastline. It’s an easy, refreshing stop for photos and a quick introduction to Shizuoka’s geography and local character.
Ride the Nihondaira Ropeway for a short but memorable “airborne” transition from the mountain plateau toward the Kunozan area. The changing perspective—forest, coastline, and open sky—makes this more than simple transportation. It’s a highlight in itself, especially for travelers who enjoy scenic rides and photo opportunities.
Visit Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, a historic and beautifully preserved site connected to Tokugawa Ieyasu. Walk through richly decorated structures and learn why this shrine holds special significance in Japanese history. Please note that the visit involves many stone steps; we’ll pace the visit comfortably and can adjust the route depending on your group.

About Shizuoka
Shizuoka is a city on Suruga Bay in tea country, with Mount Fuji on the horizon, a castle park and shrines tied to the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Shizuoka lies on the Pacific coast of central Japan, on Suruga Bay, with the Southern Alps and Mount Fuji on the horizon. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who unified Japan under his shogunate, retired to Sunpu, as the city was called, and its castle park with moats and stone walls stands in the centre. His first resting place, the Kunozan Toshogu shrine, sits on a hill reached by ropeway from the Nihondaira plateau, which has views over the bay and Fuji.
