Under the towering figure of Mt. Fuji, the waters that flow from the mountain help us to grow Shizuoka’s famous green tea. Tea enthusiasts can enjoy a day of picking tea and then drinking the fruit of their labors on a tea terrace facing Mt. Fuji. Those same waters flow to Suruga Bay, which has the deepest waters in all of Japan. Shizuoka holds a wide variety of scenic views from both the highest and lowest points in Japan. A quick ride on the Tokaido shinkansen bullet train will bring you to the epicenter of Green Tea country.
