【静岡旅行】三島・清水町おすすめ観光スポット4選｜スカイウォーク・三嶋大社・うなぎ・柿田川公園

This time, we’ll introduce four spots in Mishima City and Shimizu Town, Shizuoka,
that truly felt worth visiting. I hope this helps inspire your next weekend outing or travel plans. Here are the four places we visited. Mishima Skywalk — a suspension bridge famous for its stunning views. Mishima Taisha Shrine — a historic and culturally significant shrine. Mishima Unagi Matsuko — a specialty restaurant serving charcoal-grilled eel. Kakita River Park — a natural park where spring water from Mt. Fuji flows out. You can get around by train and bus, but having a car makes it smoother. Our first stop was Mishima Skywalk. Its official name is “Hakone Seiroku Mishima Suspension Bridge.” At 400 meters, it’s the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Japan. Its design is wind-resistant, making it safe and stable to cross. From the bridge, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay. Though clouds covered the sky that day, Mt. Fuji peeked through at times. Across the bridge lies the “North Area.” Here, you can enjoy activities like a long zipline and Segway guided tours. The long zipline was faster than I expected. If you’re into this kind of activity, it’s worth trying out. We didn’t try the activities this time, but strolled through the North Area. I’d heard of the “Hydrangea Path,” so we went to see if they were in bloom. It was mid-June when we visited. The flowers hadn’t bloomed yet, but the trees made for a calming space. We crossed back to the entrance side, known as the “South Area.” Here you’ll find shops and restaurants offering local specialties. I’d heard the Sky Garden here was worth seeing, so we went to check it out. The ceiling was filled with flowers, like a giant chandelier. At first I thought they were artificial, but they turned out to be real. Inside, there were souvenirs, local foods, and specialties from Izu and Hakone. Access: about 25 minutes by bus from JR Mishima Station,
or about 20 minutes by car from Numazu IC. Parking was free to use. Admission varies by season and crowd levels.
(When we visited, it was 1,300 yen per adult.) It’s a spot with stunning views, seasonal flowers, and plenty of activities. Next, we visited Mishima Taisha Shrine. As the Ichinomiya of Izu, it has long been a place of worship. It’s also famous as the place where Minamoto no Yoritomo prayed for victory. The impressive main hall and grounds conveyed its history and dignity. The main hall is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. After the visit, we tried the shrine’s specialty, “Fukutaro Mochi.” It had just the right sweetness, pairing perfectly with tea. A perfect treat to enjoy after paying respects. At a shop on the grounds, we found “deer crackers.” Behind the treasure hall is the Shinkaen, home to many deer. You can buy crackers at the shop and feed them to the deer. Deer were first brought to Mishima Taisha in the Taisho era. They were gifted from Nara’s Kasuga Taisha, as a symbol of prosperity and growth. From the original 8, they’ve been cared for and have grown to about 40 today. The shrine is about a 15-minute walk from JR Mishima Station. There’s also a paid parking lot next to the shrine for worshippers. It was a memorable visit—experiencing both history and culture,
while also enjoying sweets and time with the deer. Mishima is also famous for its eel. The reason lies in the underground spring water from Mt. Fuji. Keeping eels in this abundant spring water removes excess fat and odor,
giving them a fluffy, refined taste. At Mishima Taisha’s sacred pond, eels have long been seen as messengers of the gods. With this natural environment and tradition, Mishima became known as an “eel hotspot.” Mishima is home to many long-established restaurants, such as Unagi Sakura-ya. They’re so popular that long waiting times are common. This time, we chose “Mishima Unagi Matsuko,” since reservations are available. Matsuko is a new restaurant that opened in February 2024. It’s run by a husband-and-wife team, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The hostess, dressed in kimono, offered gracious hospitality,
and even details like the towels and décor showed great care. The eel set comes with liver soup, boiled greens, and pickles. The eel is cleansed in Mishima’s water before grilling,
so it’s crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. They even use select Sansho pepper from Wakayama Prefecture. The eel we had was simply delicious, with a perfect balance of crispness and tenderness. It’s a 12-minute walk from JR Mishima Station, and 7 minutes from Mishima Taisha. There’s no private parking, but several affiliated parking lots are available. We used the Mishima Municipal Central Parking Lot and received a service ticket. The hostess and staff were attentive, making for a very pleasant visit. If you want to enjoy eel in Mishima, this is a highly recommended spot. Our final stop was Kakita River Park in Shimizu Town. Rain and snow from Mt. Fuji seep underground over many years. Here, that water springs forth, forming a pure, clear stream. The Kakita River, born from these springs, is one of Japan’s three clearest rivers. First, the First Observation Deck. This is the very source of the Kakita River. Dozens of “spring vents” bubble up water from Mt. Fuji’s underground flow. About one million tons of water gush out daily, the largest spring flow in the East. Next, the Second Observation Deck. This was once an intake site for a textile factory. Now, a deep, well-like pool shines with cobalt-blue water. It’s a popular spot for photos. Recently, it’s even appeared as an anime setting—
illustrations were printed on parking receipts. At the end of our walk, we visited Kifune Shrine within the park. It enshrines the water deity from Kyoto’s Kifune Shrine, also known for blessings in love. Local festivals, like the Spring Water Festival, show how deeply it’s cherished. It’s said that touching the “Enmusubi Road” monument or the rice-ball-shaped stone
will bring good relationships. Surrounded by forest, the quiet shrine offered a soothing space with the sound of flowing water. It’s about a 15-minute drive from JR Mishima Station,
or about 20 minutes by bus. There’s also a paid parking lot available. Between the pure spring waters and the shrine visit,
this walk was truly refreshing. It’s a great spot for those who want a relaxing stroll in nature. This time we visited four places: Mishima Skywalk, Mishima Taisha,
Mishima Unagi Matsuko, and Kakita River Park. Each offered something different—scenery, history, food, and nature. A car makes it easier to get around, but even nearby spots are enjoyable on foot. Perfect for a day trip, but also worth taking your time to explore slowly. If you found this video helpful, please don’t forget to like and subscribe!
