Nihondaira Outlook & Kunozan Toshogu Shrine

Begin this spiritual day with a motorcoach ride to Nihondaira Park Outlook, a prefecture natural park and the perfect spot to take in views of Suruga Bay and magnificent Mt. Fuji. Board the scenic ropeway to the mountaintop Kunozan Toshogu Shrine. Dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616), a famous leader who brought peace to Japan after a long period of civil war, this extensive shrine complex features bright red buildings ornately decorated and constructed in the Shinto shrine style. A designated cultural landmark, its grounds include a massive front gate, a drum tower, copper lanterns and a main building with three magnificently decorated halls. Within a secluded wooded area, you'll find the tomb of Ieyasu. The ropeway returns you to the motorcoach for the drive back to port.
