I really miss the season when the autumn leaves are everywhere.

Fujikawa Service Area
Fujikawa Service Area is located on the E1 Tomei Expressway in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Known for its views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay, Tokyo-bound EXPASA Fujikawa is also promoted as a service area with views of Mt. Fuji. The Tokyo-bound side features the Fuji Sky View Ferris wheel, which offers panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay at the same time.
It was my first time seeing such a large Ferris wheel at a highway rest stop. It really made me feel that the Japanese are very good at planning tourist facilities. Looking at Mt. Fuji in the distance made me feel completely relaxed.

Ikaho Onsen
Ikaho Onsen has been cherished since ancient times, even appearing in the Man'yoshu poetry anthology, and is said to have been beloved by literary figures such as Yumeji Takehisa and Roka Tokutomi.
The old stone steps and street have a great atmosphere. It's fun to snack as you walk along. Taking a stroll after a hot spring bath is just perfect.

SEASCAPE TERRACE & DINING
You can dine with a fantastic view of the Tokyo city beyond the sea and enjoy a wide variety of items in buffet style which will be suited to the individual timeframe.
There are so many options here—roast beef, seafood, veggies, desserts, and everything is super well-prepared. Plus, the view from the terrace is absolutely gorgeous.
