Highlights

Located on the border between Suruga Ward and Shimizu Ward in Shizuoka-shi, Shizuoka Prefecture, this hilly area is centered around the 307-meter-high Mt. Udo.
On the hillside of Mt. Kuno in the southern part of the hill is the Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, a national treasure associated with Ieyasu Tokugawa, which is connected by the Nihondaira Ropeway with the top of Nihondaira Mountain.
It has been recognized as one of Japan's Night View Heritage Sites and part of Japan 100 Moon. In the distance, you can see Mt. Fuji, the Izu Peninsula, and the Southern Alps to the north, as well as a 360-degree view of the city below and the orange-colored Port of Shimizu. At the summit area, there are many viewpoints such as the Nihondaira Yume Terrace, the Observation Corridor, the Nihondaira Hotel(upper lounge and outdoor garden), the East Observatory, and the Ginbodai(“observation square”). During the Shimizu Minato Matsuri Festival, many people come to enjoy the night view and fireworks.
