[Toda, Shizuoka Prefecture] A hidden gem with a spectacular view, just 2.5 hours from Tokyo

This time, we will introduce a town called Toda in Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which is about 2.5 hours by car from Tokyo and about 2 hours by train from Odawara Station. Toda originally developed as Toda Village, and has a population of about 2,500 people. To get there, take the train from Mishima to Shuzenji Station, then take a 50-minute bus from Shuzenji Station. Be careful in winter as you will have to cross a mountain pass. Beyond that is a town full of natural scenery with a view of Mt. Fuji. This town, where you can enjoy the sea and mountains, will capture your heart with its unique atmosphere. There are local cats along the sea, and people who enjoy fishing and marine activities. There are hot springs, stylish hostels, and old-fashioned coffee shops nearby, so it is a perfect place for a weekend day trip or a detour on a trip to Izu.◎ #Seasonal places in Japan #Shizuoka #Toda
