Atami is one of Shizuoka’s top tourist spots, perfectly balancing hot springs and seaside vibes. It has over 1200 years of onsen history, with many accommodations offering natural hot spring water. The scenery surrounded by sea and mountains is stunning. There are also fun activities like paddleboarding and a famous fireworks show. Plus, new trendy cafés and guesthouses keep popping up, blending old charm with modern style. Sitting in an open-air bath while watching the ocean is truly relaxing.

While it's not located in Shizuoka or Yamanashi, "le.ciel" is a charming little shop in Ōsaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, known for its beautifully handmade Japanese and Western sweets.

Fun fact—this shop is actually run by the family of one of the staff members who supported us at the Travel Sale!

🌿Why Shizuoka Matcha Tastes So Good🌿
Did you know Shizuoka is one of Japan’s top three tea regions, alongside Uji and Sayama? 🍵✨
Shizuoka Matcha is known for its vibrant green color and refined aroma—thanks to the region’s warm, rainy climate, well-drained soil, and mountain mist that enrich the flavor of the tea leaves.

With a wide variety of tea types and production styles, Shizuoka is home to famous teas like Kakegawa-cha, Hon-yama-cha, Kawane-cha, and Tenryu-cha—each offering deeply flavorful fukamushi-cha (deep-steamed tea) with a naturally sweet taste.

Perfect for both sipping and making delicious sweets, Shizuoka matcha is truly a taste of Japan’s tea heritage. 🍃💚

If you're a matcha lover, "Nanaya" in Shizuoka is your dream come true!　https://nanaya-matcha.com/
They offer seven levels of matcha intensity, from No.1 (mild) to No.7 (super intense)—and No.7 is said to be the richest matcha gelato in the world.

Made with premium Shizuoka-grown matcha, each scoop is creamy, earthy, and deeply flavorful.
It's not just ice cream—it's a true matcha experience!
You can also try other unique flavors like genmaicha (roasted rice tea) or hojicha (roasted green tea).
