A vast land that holds several picturesque tourist attractions, one of my favorite places in Shizuoka City is Nihondaira, a plateau situated at the heart of the city. From here, tourists and locals alike can enjoy sightseeing with the magnificent view of Mt. Fuji overlooking the port of Shimizu and Suruga Bay, as well as the Izu Peninsula and the Japanese Southern Alps. There are also several strawberry farms where people can indulge their cravings for these aphrodisiac fruits during the best time of the year, which is from around February to March or the first week of April.
