It is a scenic spot where you can see the Oiso Terugasaki coast and Mt. Fuji The beach is usually calm and crowded with people playing on the shore and fishing, but on this day when the rough waves were rushing in, Mt. Fuji brought out its magnificent appearance.

Izu-Buntei Built in 1910 (Meiji 43), Izu-Buntei once housed a kimono merchant. In Matsuzaki, the town received the building as a donation from its owner and restored the interior as a valuable historic Meiji-era structure. It is now open as a free rest area. A footbath is also installed in the park beside Izu-Buntei.

Meiji Merchant House Nakase Residence The Nakase Residence was built in 1887 (Meiji 20) as the home of prosperous cloth merchant Naokichi Yoda (Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten). Because the shop name of Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten was “Nakase,” the house is now known as the Nakase Residence. In 1998 (Showa 63), Matsuzakicho purchased the large estate—seven buildings including the main house and storehouses—and opened the main house to the public as an ethnographic museum. The building showcases lavish craftsmanship, from its timberwork to its fine carvings and metal fittings, offering a glimpse into the life of a wealthy merchant of the era. In particular, the black-lacquered namako-style plaster wall finish of the storehouse built inside the main house can only be seen here in Matsuzakicho.

Jukkokutoge (Jukkoku Pass) Jukkoku Pass is said to have gotten its name because, long ago, you could see ten provinces—Izu, Sagami, Suruga, Tōtōmi, Kai, Awa, Kazusa, Shimōsa, Musashi, Shinano—and five islands (Ōshima, Niijima, Kozushima, Miyakejima, Toshima). From the summit of Mt. Hikaneyama, you can look north to Mt. Fuji, west to Suruga Bay, and east to Sagami Bay.

I think Mt. Fuji and the cherry blossoms are the strongest. Shizuoka Prefecture Fuji City Junigawa

Ishibu Rice Terraces lie at the western tip of the Izu Peninsula in Matsuzakicho, Shizuoka Prefecture. Spanning about 4.2 hectares and roughly 370 stone-walled rice paddies at elevations between 120 and 250 meters, these terraces are rare in eastern Japan. They offer sweeping views over Suruga Bay, and on clear days you can see Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps. In 2000, the 4.2-hectare terraced area, which had been abandoned and covered in pampas grass, was restored and used as a catalyst for revitalizing the local community. In 2010, the 16th National Satoyama (Terraced Rice Fields) Summit was held there.
