2025 Shimizu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Kakitagawa Spring Park, a group of springs on Mount Fuji that rivals Oshino Hakkai in Yamanashi. The rain and snow that falls around Mount Fuji seeps into the lava and volcanic ash, and springs out here as clean spring water! The emerald green spring water that you often see in photos can be seen at the second observation deck. At the first observation deck, there are "side gaps" where water springs out of the river, and the way it bubbles up is very mysterious. ✨ There are also spots where you can collect spring water, so don't forget to bring an empty plastic bottle! (You can also purchase one) 📍71-7 Fushimi, Shimizu-cho, Sunto-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture #breathtakingview #springwater #shizuokatourism #trip2022

I went to Food Market Mam, a supermarket in Shimizu-cho, Sunto-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, that has a lot of great deals! The prices are cheaper than regular supermarkets, so I often go there. I especially recommend Tuesdays and Fridays! On ice cream days, all ice creams are 50% off!! I always buy a lot of boxes of ice cream on ice cream days! You should definitely go there too! They have a wide variety of fish and other things! #Shizuoka #FoodMarketMam #GreatDeals

I went to Kakitagawa Park in Shimizu-cho, Shizuoka! The Kakitagawa Springs, a natural monument, are located here, and the emerald green water is beautiful. The source of the Kakitagawa is rainwater that fell on Mt. Fuji and melting snow, and the water is extremely clear❗️ Please come and visit us sometime~ #Shizuoka#SummerShortTrip #JapanGenkiProject2021 #AmazingView

About 15 minutes by car from Ooba Station on the Izu Hakone Railway Sunzu Line. I went there for lunch! I had the cheese hamburger! The filling hamburger and cheese were exquisite and very delicious! The shop was decorated with lots of dried flowers and had a lot of retro goods, giving it a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely like to go again! #supporttourism #gourmettrip #famousflowerspot

Kakita River flows as groundwater from rain and melting snow that falls on the mountains around Mt. Fuji. It is a nationally designated natural monument. It is the only river whose water source is spring water only! Access: Take the Numazu Hakone Tozan Tokai bus from the south exit of JR Mishima Station (bound for Numasho and Fujiibara (via Santo Moon)). 1 minute walk from "Kakita River Spring Water Park". I was overwhelmed by the beautiful spring water I had never seen before! The emerald green pond is indescribably beautiful! Even in the middle of summer, the spring water makes you feel cool. You can actually see the water bubbling up from underground. When you walk around the park, you can enjoy seasonal flowers in bloom! From May to September, you can see white-petaled flowers called Mishima Baikamo blooming in the water. Due to the large amount of groundwater consumed, the drying up of the water sources in their habitat, and environmental pollution caused by the inflow of domestic wastewater, they were once thought to be extinct, but they can be seen here. Please come and visit us. #Kakitagawa Park #Spring water #Natural monument #Famous flower spot #Support tourism #Breathtaking views

#Spring0yenTrip Is this really real...?!? The Kakitagawa Springs are a soothing spot surrounded by crystal clear water and deep greenery that makes you wonder if you can believe your eyes. Apparently, the meltwater from Mt. Fuji has been passing underground for decades and springing up...! The sight of the clear blue water bubbling up is so mystical that you could watch it forever...✨ We especially recommend the "1st Observation Deck" and "2nd Observation Deck"! At the 1st observation deck, you can clearly see the beautiful blue hole of water, which is sure to look great on Instagram! At the 2nd observation deck, you can enjoy the view of the Kakitagawa River flowing lazily through the trees, and you'll feel like you're surrounded by nature! There is also a promenade that goes through a green tunnel, and a walk soothed by the sounds of birds and murmuring is the perfect way to refresh yourself! The air is so clear that just taking a deep breath makes you feel lighter! Maybe this is what it means to be full of negative ions...! There are cafes and stylish souvenir shops in the area, as well as a restaurant where you can enjoy lunch using local vegetables. It is also popular as a natural power spot where you can feel Mt.

Kakitagawa Park is a park with a well that has spring water from the mysterious Mt. Fuji. I was fascinated by the beautiful well. A huge blue hole 3.5m deep and 5m in diameter! The so-called "Blue Hole" is a remnant of a former factory and was used as a water intake. Walking along the promenade in the park, I could see meltwater gushing out everywhere. It seems to have been selected as one of the 100 best waters in Japan! On a nice day, the well may look even greener.
