Even at home, the temperature is very high and hot. After going to Shimizu, I climbed up to Nihon-daira. Since it was Sunday, two large tourist buses came. Both were from within the prefecture. They were not foreigners. The shops were moderately crowded. The terrace was air-conditioned and cool. It was a good place to take a stroll. You can't see Mt. Fuji from the terrace at this time of year.

Apart from temples, Japan has many other beautiful places to visit and this is definitely one of them. This place is big and it offered visitors a gorgeous view of surrounding area and Mount Fuji, all blend beautifully with its impressive modern architecture. And it is free for the public. It was cloudy when we went there, so we did not see Mount Fuji. Nevertheless, we were still awed by the scenery.
After visiting the place, we walked to the nearby ropeway (require purchase tickets) to Kunozan Toshogu Shrine.
Recommended to plan a trip to this dream terrace. We took a direct bus from Shizuoka station and it takes about a 50 min ride.

We stayed at the Nipphondaira Hotel, and we came across this Terrace while wondering about. It was a cloudy and rainy-like summer, so like in the hotel, no Mt. Fuji in view. However, the architecture itself is beautiful and tranquil in its own way, fitting right into the environment.

Just got back from Celebrity Millennium Cruise In November, 2018
Visited port of Shimizu-city of Shizuoka.
Nihondaira Yume Terrace is a new observation deck. I can’t imagine the amount of money the city spent on this beautiful structure. It is handicap and stroller friendly.
Weather was great, beautiful scenery from every corner, just wish that day never end.
Beautiful benches everywhere for seating. That is what makes I think the architects so intelligent. It is a place for all people- the seniors, the children,the disabled,etc.
Our tour guide Chinami Nakamura drove many hours from home and picked up up from
Dock. Speaks good English, provided us great service all day and would not take tip.

This is part of the itinerary as we tripped back to Tokyo from Hamamatsu-Shizuoka.
Nihondaira is a popular scenic spot in Shizuoka with a magnificent view of Mt. Fuji. The coach is parked at lower level with few F&B & shops. We then ascend up the slight slope for about 10 mins, time was about 3pm.
The Nihondaira Yume Terrace was designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates, an outstanding building from a distance. We understand the beautiful wooden facility is made of wood sourced from Shizuoka Prefecture and definitely blends in perfectly with the surrounding landscape.
We took lift up to the 3F that features a 360-degree, all-glass observation floor. Be captivated by breathtaking view of Shimizu Port and Suruga Bay, with the majestic Mt. Fuji in the distance. There is also the beautiful view of Mt. Fuji displayed on the large monitor, juz in case the weather shrouds the Mt Fuji .
The octagonal shape of Yumedono – the Hall of Visions - particular geometry gave tourist the flexibility to have various prominent view of Mt. Fuji at various positions, while walking around. We took many photos indeed! We were just so lucky blessed with good weather.
On the 2nd floor, there is a lounge where visitors can enjoy seasonal teas and sweets, unfortunately we did not have enough time for this.. Our Tour Mgr told us that Visitors may enter the observation corridor at any time, regardless of the facility’s hours of operation or even on days when it is closed. If you visit at night, you can enjoy the night view of Nihon Daira, which is registered as one of Japan’s Nightscape Heritage Sites.
After an hour we left and continue our journey back to Tokyo (Shinagawa) …
There are many places in Japan with great views of Mt. Fuji and the last time for us was Dec 23 at Endoshima (a long distance away). But Nihondaira definitely is a closer location for visitors to soak in the beauty of the mountain!

The wooden observation deck is located in a great spot right in front of Mt. Fuji.
The terrace is also spacious, so if you wait a little, you can get a good position to take photos of Mt. Fuji.
The best thing about it is that it's made of wood, so it's easier to remove than concrete observation decks.
Whenever I see a lot of concrete structures left abandoned in buildings and facilities that are no longer used in tourist spots, I wonder what the purpose of these tourist facilities is.
If it's made of wood, that won't happen, so I think it's great.

A viewing spot in Nihon-daira. It is a three-story building designed by architect Kengo Sumi, and is connected to the outdoor corridor nearby. Admission is free, so it's definitely worth a visit.
