Nihondaira Plateau (Green tea field and Mt.Fuji view at Nihondaira Ocha Kaikan, Nihondaira Yume Terrace Observatory, → Ryugeji-Temple, a beautiful small temple with its famous Cycas revoluta → Miho Beach (Miho Pine Tree Grove= a part of Mt.Fuji World Heritage, Miho no Matsugara Culture & Creativity Center) You can enjoy spectacular view of Shimizu, and small familiar temple which is not touristic like temples in Kyoto ot Tokyo. We made this new tour in 2024 for guests who are not good at walking stairs, not good at long distance walk, not good at taking ropeway to visit Kunozan Toshogu Shrine.
Note: Though the capacity of a sedan taxi is 3 guests + a guide, we recommend this sedan taxi tour for up to 2 guests + a guide. It is small for 3 big people to sit in the rear seat. In this case, we recommend to choose our van taxi tour.
