All Reviews of Nihondaira Yume Terrace

Nihondaira Yume Terrace is located at the summit of Nihondaira, not far from Nihondaira Station on the ropeway to Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, so it's perfect for stopping by after riding the ropeway. The best part is the scenery! When the weather is good, you can see Mt. Fuji, Suruga Bay, and Miho no Matsubara, with a wide-open 360-degree view.

You don't need to plan anything special here. Just feeling the breeze and slowly taking in the mountain and ocean views is very relaxing. I also highly recommend the café inside. Find a seat, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy the scenery—it's truly leisurely.

After taking a bus uphill from Shimizu Station and arriving at Nihondaira, what I looked forward to most was going up to the observation deck. The 360-degree view is almost unfair—you can see Suruga Bay and the Izu Peninsula, and on a clear day, even Mount Fuji.

But seeing Mount Fuji really depends on luck. As soon as the clouds roll in, it completely “disappears.” That's also why every moment when Mount Fuji reveals itself is such a delightful surprise!

Compared with the Fujiyoshida area, there are far fewer visitors here. There aren't huge crowds competing for space, so you can stroll around, take photos at your leisure, and enjoy Shizuoka's distinctive mountain and ocean scenery.

If you like seeing Mount Fuji but don't want to deal with crowds, Nihondaira is really worth visiting!

Nihondaira Yume Terrace, located at the top of Nihondaira, is a well-known scenic spot in Shizuoka. From the observation deck, you can enjoy 360-degree views of Shizuoka City, and on clear days, you may even see Mt. Fuji in the distance. Although Mt. Fuji is quite far away and usually only appears as a faint outline, the sweeping mountain and ocean scenery is still captivating.

Take bus No. 42 from bus stop No. 11 at the north exit of JR Shizuoka Station, and you'll arrive in about 40 minutes. Getting there is actually easier than expected! The Nihondaira Ropeway station is right next door, and you can take the ropeway to Kunozan Toshogu Shrine. A round-trip ticket is the most convenient option. It can be quite windy at the top, so remember to prepare for the sun, wind, and rain.

Nihondaira Yume Terrace is amazing! The 360-degree observation deck lets you see Mt. Fuji, Suruga Bay, and the Izu Peninsula all at once. The views are just breathtaking! 😭😭
