This facility is widely open for many people in free of charge. Both of kids and adults should have great times there. I bet those who are interested in aircraft, defensing activities can enjoy a lot. The exhibitions are great to see. Weapons such as missiles are displayed together with reasonable explanations. You can get into the cockpits of exhibited airplanes which had flied in the air before. This may bring you the memorial photos. Souvenir store offers great variety of air force goods, towels, shirts and so forth.

The falls are absolutely stunning. Quiet and even when busy, there was plenty of space and opportunity for photos. The views were stunning all round. We were lucky to see Mt Fuji on the day we visited.

You can walk,up and down the pass, by the seashore, beautiful cliffs and wooded area. Also, suspension bridges,over the coast, observing Ohshima - in Japanese,means a big island - and a nice light-house that enables you to view mountain side of the area, including Mount Omuro.. Very nice and comforting to roam, looking at the ocean out there and listening to the birds.

It has been 33 years since MOA Museum of Art was established in 1982, and we are currently carrying out refurbishment construction to renovate the exhibition space and museum facilities. The renovation of its lobby area and exhibition galleries are being provided by New Material Research Laboratory, led by world-renowned contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto and architect Tomoyuki Sakakida. Contrary to its name, New Material Research Laboratory is focused on researching materials and techniques used in ancient, medieval, and early modern times, and finding ways to incorporate them in contemporary architecture and pass them down to the future. They will be exploring a myriad of possibilities to design incredible spaces for the MOA Museum of Art. The concepts of MOA Museum of Art are as follows: The Fundamental Plans of the Museum We shall aim to become a museum transmitting information of Japanese Art.

Amazing architecture make this a must regardless of the exhibits. That's not to say the exhibits aren't wonderful also. My wife and I were fortunate enough to visit when Part 1 of the Best of Museum collection was shown (until March 12) including the Red and White Plum Blossom Screen, which is a National Treasure. At the same time we were able to see the amazing lacquer-ware produced by Kazumi Morose (also until March 12), who is a Living National Treasure. The entrance fee to the museum is 1600 yen, 1400 for those over 65. We paid just 1300 yen since there is a 300 yen discount when showing the entrance ticket to Baien (Plum Park). Long, long escalators take you through to the upper level from where your adventure starts. The restaurant provided the best food we had during our stay in Atami and was well worth the 30 minute wait. The museum closes at 16.30, which is a little early. Buses run directly to the museum from the station. There is also a taxi stand by the entrance where you may be lucky enough to find a taxi waiting.
5. Shirahama Beach

We visited this beach off season in April, when it was around 21 degrees and too cold to swim in. Nevertheless, we had a nice walk along the beach and enjoyed a picnic there, watching the surfers and enjoying the quiet. The water is very clear and the scenery beautiful. There is also an impressive temple nearby (on the side of the torii gate) that you can visit. I didn't think that the beach was dirty - yes, there were a few bits of plastic waste in the sand, but it didn't strike me as 'a lot' of trash. Even if the beach is cleaned every day, sadly, some trash will be carried to the beach from the ocean every day due to our over-consumption and use of plastic... It's also very convenient that you can quickly reach the beach by bus from Izukyu-Shimoda station or Shimoda marina. Just opposite, there is a Family Mart and a few cafes and restaurants.

Nice ride by the rope-way, enjoy leisurely walking the rim at the top as you leave the rope-way - you can buy your picture as you climb it - you can see the 360 degrees wonderful view as you get off and be sure to pick a "Clear Day", you can observe the beautiful Mt.Fuji at the summit!! Visited several times with our family as well. They loved it.

Good for those who love to shop. Located in a very scenic location, with Mt. Fuji in the backdrop. For those who are here just to explore or for window shopping, there are a number of eateries which should keep you busy. The food court has a variety of options, really liked the dessert parlor in the food court that serves huge cotton candies or ice cream cones wrapped in a cloud of cotton candy. Even though it is situated a little out of the way from the town center there are free shuttle buses to and fro from Gotemba station which makes it very accessible.

Toshogu shrine is thought to be in Nikko, but this is the 1st Toshogu, where the 1st Shogun is buried. This shrine holds annual commemorative ceremony for him on April 7. So, this is the one for rituals for him while Nikko has more gorgeous festivals.
