Our first destination is the Tokaido Hiroshige Museum, dedicated to the renowned ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige. Known for his series “Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido,” Hiroshige captured the essence of the famous Tokaido route connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo period. Marvel at his exquisite woodblock prints and gain insight into the history and significance of his work through interactive exhibits and informative displays. Engage in hands-on activities, such as creating your own mini ukiyo-e print, to experience the art form firsthand.
Next, we head to Miho-no-Matsubara, a stunning coastal area renowned for its picturesque landscape and mythical legends. Known as one of Japan’s most scenic spots, this stretch of coastline is adorned with over 30,000 pine trees, some of which are said to be over 600 years old. Take a leisurely stroll along the sandy beach, breathe in the fresh ocean air, and bask in the serenity of the surroundings. Capture panoramic views of the majestic Mount Fuji, which stands proudly in the distance, and discover the intriguing legends associated with this awe-inspiring landmark.
