Omaezaki travel guide and discussion

Omaezaki Lighthouse in Omaezaki City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is located on the border between Suruga Bay and Enshu Nada Sea, and was completed in 1874 by Richard Henry Brunton, known as the "father of lighthouses." It is one of only 16 "climbable lighthouses" in the country, and from the top of the lighthouse you can see the beautiful Pacific Ocean, the Izu Peninsula, and even Mt. Fuji. In 2016, the Japan Coast Guard completed renovation work, and a small window was installed that allows you to see the brickwork inside the lighthouse. 📌 Omaezaki Lighthouse 📌 1581 Omaezaki, Omaezaki City, Shizuoka Prefecture 437-1621 📌Please note that you cannot enter the lighthouse only in bad weather⚠️ 📌Famousness★★★☆☆ #Domestic travel #Shizuoka sightseeing #Shizuoka #Lighthouse scenery #Lighthouse #Omaezaki #Seaside scenery #Stunning seaside scenery

Omaezaki Lighthouse, located at the southernmost tip of Shizuoka Prefecture! It's also a lighthouse you can climb. On the staircase leading up to the lighthouse, there's an observation deck called the "Earth's Curvature Platform." The horizon visible from here has a curved shape, truly allowing you to experience the curvature of the Earth, just as the name suggests. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji! Please do go and enjoy the magnificent ocean and horizon! *There is a free municipal parking lot nearby. Please note that there are also paid parking lots. There's a beach nearby, making it a great place to visit in the summer! There's also a cafe with an ocean view ☕️ #OmaezakiLighthouse

Why not check out rapeseed blossoms and carp streamers (koinobori), the classic symbols of early summer in Japan? [Carp Streamers] ・Arasawa Furusato Park @ Omaezaki, Shizuoka → Seeing 75 carp streamers fluttering in the sky every April and May is absolutely breathtaking! ・Yokomizo Yashiki @ Yokohama, Kanagawa → A folk museum that gives you a glimpse into life during the Edo period. The carp streamers displayed during Golden Week 2025 were truly spectacular. [Rapeseed Blossoms] ・Nanakuniyama Farmer's Center @ Machida, Kanagawa → The rapeseed blossoms reach full bloom in mid-April! The contrast with the clear blue sky is gorgeous. We highly recommend taking a stroll around the nearby Yakushi Pond as well. Parking is available at Yakushi Pond. ・Kamogawa Sea World @ Kamogawa, Chiba Though it's an aquarium, the scenic view of the rapeseed blossoms and the ocean right as you enter is stunning! Believe it or not, everything on this list is completely free except for Kamogawa Sea World. Definitely be sure to visit!

#CommentCircle I went to Hamaoka Nuclear Power Museum in Omaezaki, Shizuoka Prefecture! There are many things that adults can learn, such as how nuclear power generation works, how to use energy, and disaster preparedness. While some of the exhibits are aimed at children, there is actually a lot of content that adults can enjoy too! Admission is free, and there are theaters, dioramas, and quiz-style exhibits, so I lost track of time and was engrossed in the exhibits🤣 I stopped by during my trip, but it's a spot that I'm really glad I went to. I'd like to share more of these "learning stops" with everyone~🙌 Please leave a comment! ! #CommentCircle #ShizuokaTourism #HamaokaNuclearPowerMuseum #SocialStudyFieldTripForAdults #FreeSpot #OmaezakiDrive #EducationalTrip #RecommendedShizuokaSpot

Very affordable and good value.

#cherryblossom25 The Omaezaki Windmill, located in Omaezaki City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is a notable landmark along the Pacific coastline. The Omaezaki Windmill is used for wind power generation, converting the strong coastal winds into electricity. It is part of Japan’s renewable energy initiatives, contributing to local power supply and sustainability efforts. While it serves a functional purpose, it is also a scenic landmark that attracts visitors due to its picturesque location near Omaezaki Cape. #windmills #omaezaki #shizuoka #japan #japantravel #japantravelguide #nature #naturetravellerinjapan

📍It takes around 2 hours from Hamamatsu station to get to Omaezaki. We travelled to Omaezaki because Jazzbo, a surf shop, was hosting what they themed as Kaizoku Matsuri, meaning a pirates festival, and most of the participants were water sport lovers. The event had a lot to offer including local food stalls, individual stage performances and the main event of the day which was a live music by Keison (and I am a big fan). Omaezaki has vast green tea plantations. And you find a tea shop every corner of the town, so we enjoyed tea moments and matcha 🍵 sweets. The Hamaoka Nuclear Power Museum is another interesting place we visited and we were surprised to find a mask collection in one section of the gallery. #surfing #shizuoka #Omaezaki #watersports

#2024 Travel Review **Oyama Nature Park (Daisen Nature Park)** The happiest thing in 2024 was going to Miko! Oyama Nature Park has a magnificent natural landscape, making it a great place for hiking. The trails here are well planned for both novice and professional climbers to find the right route. The picturesque scenery along the way makes you feel the charm of nature.

Nice photos in the trip

The sand dunes were formed when the sand flowing out of the Tenryu River was carried inland by the coastal tides and strong western winds called "Enshu no Karakaze". In winter, the wind ripples on the surface of the sand are beautiful, and in summer, local families can be seen collecting shells and playing on the sand🐚 It's hard to walk on the sand to the beach, but if you try, you'll see a beautiful view✨✨ The wind power plants in the distance and the sea sparkling in the sun are very emotional. I recommend visiting during sunset!

Japan is always the most popular destination. however, the best spot to visit in Japan is rural area. I recommend omaezaki City. it's about 2 hours from Tokyo, but can feel a cozy atmosphere. Food there is great! enjoy sea food! Residents there are always super kind. I highly recommend that everyone interact with them. There is a nuclear power plant. they have a pr center in it, so you can also learn Japanese nuclear history at the same time!

Previously, 60% of Japan's electricity was generated by thermal power plants and 30% by nuclear power plants. However, because nuclear power plants use "nuclear" fuel, there has been a long-standing opposition movement, and since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, voices calling for the suspension and abolition of nuclear power plants have grown louder, and several nuclear power plants have been shut down, with 80% now being generated by thermal power plants and 1% being generated by nuclear power plants. I understand that it is dangerous. But why is it dangerous? What kind of measures are being taken against earthquakes and tsunamis? I have been studying this. At my local Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant, based on the experience of 3/11, they have taken all sorts of measures to ensure that they will be safe even if a tsunami larger than that occurs. Artificial levees and breakwaters to protect against tsunamis, thick waterproof doors to prevent water from entering the reactor building, double and triple backup power sources, cooling water, thick concrete walls for earthquake resistance and radiation shielding, nuclear power plant buildings designed to be earthquake-resistant, etc. Perhaps this is not enough. Still, they have taken all these measures and also conduct regular disaster prevention drills. So isn't it okay to trust them? Let's reduce fossil fuels as much as possible, cut down on CO2 emissions and costs, and use electricity that is kind to the environment and the household budget! Well, enough about politics... There's no admission fee, and you can learn this kind of knowledge, watch short movies, and play games, so I think it's a great place to play with children. You can play there for half a day. There are restaurants and shops on the premises, and there are large stores nearby, so it's convenient. Recommended for those who don't have nuclear power plants in their area, those who have nuclear power plants but no museum, and those who want to learn about nuclear power plants. Nearby, there is Omaezaki Lighthouse, the holy land of "Yuru Camp△", and Hamaoka Sand Dunes, one of Japan's three largest sand dunes, so why not visit them while you're there? #Shizuoka Prefecture #Shizuoka Prefecture Tourism #Shizuoka #Recommended Shizuoka Tourism #Shizuoka Tourism #Shizuoka Trip #Omaezaki City #Omaezaki #Omaezaki Lighthouse #Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant #Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant Museum #Hamaoka Sand Dunes #Lighthouse #Japan's Three Greatest Sand Dunes #Sand Dunes #Laid-Back Camp△ #Museum #Nuclear Power Plant #Power Plant ##Chubu Electric Power #Travel with Me

Shiosai Bridge in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is a bicycle and pedestrian bridge that spans the mouth of the Kikugawa River that runs through the prefecture, and is the longest suspended deck bridge in Japan. It is a very rare 4-span continuous deck type PC suspended deck bridge, and there are few examples of this in the world. As the name Shiosai suggests, it is a bridge where you can hear the sound of the waves and enjoy the wonderful view, and at dusk it is a spectacular spot to see the orange sunset sinking into the sea. 📌Shiosai Bridge 📌Kuniyasu, Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture 437-1413 📌Many people visit by bicycle.

Omaezaki, an unknown small city in Japan, is located in the southernmost part of Shizuoka Prefecture, facing the vast Pacific Ocean. The relatively famous one here is the Omaezaki Lighthouse. The nearby coastline is long and quiet. If a car does not drive by occasionally, it will even make you feel that the entire coastline belongs to you alone, especially like traveling through Japanese anime. In the morning, I stand by the sea alone, looking at the rising sun, the majestic vitality will make you feel the beauty of nature.
