Fuji Transit Hub
Mishima is a charming city in Shizuoka Prefecture, often referred to as the "City of Water" due to its abundant springs fed by Mount Fuji's snowmelt. A must-visit is the Mishima Taisha Shrine, an ancient Shinto shrine with a history dating back to the Nara period, featuring beautiful cherry blossoms in spring. Adjacent to the shrine is Rakujuen Park, a former imperial villa turned public park, showcasing traditional Japanese gardens, a small zoo, and a museum. For breathtaking views, the Mishima Skywalk offers Japan's longest pedestrian suspension bridge at 400 meters, providing panoramic vistas of Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay. Mishima's convenient location on the Tokaido Shinkansen line makes it an ideal stopover between Hakone and Kyoto
