One day trip from Tokyo

Many will wonder if there are other interesting places around the Tokyo area. For those who are interested in having some relaxing time and indulging in healthy food, you could try going to Shizuoka prefecture. It takes only about 1.5 hours from Tokyo by car.

It's a refreshing place, scenic and full of natural beauty. A place you will enjoy if you wish to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.

You can go to the strawberry farm where you can get all-you-can-eat strawberries for about Yen1500. Prices may vary according to the farm and the variety included.


The strawberries here are pretty sweet and since they're full of vitamins, it makes a pretty good breakfast if you go there early enough.



Other than that, you can also make a trip to Numazu-kou, which is a harbour area in the Shizuoka prefecture. Other than the opportunity to taste fresh fishes, you can also get a fantastic view of the famous Mt Fuji from here.



After all the sight-seeing, you can just treat yourself with a good meal at any of the many restaurants found there.

The meal you see here is filled with various types of raw fishes, such as salmon, salmon roe, tuna, and sea urchin. Complete it with a bowl of hot steaming miso soup for a healthy meal.
