Shizuoka Prefecture is home to Mt. Fuji (3,776 m), the highest mountain in Japan, and Suruga Bay (about 2,500 m deep), the deepest bay in Japan. The difference between the two is over 6,000 m. Across the land spreads a rich natural environment of mountains and valleys, lakes and rivers, beauty flowers and hot springs, and sea and dunes, which provides habitats for various animals and plants. The blessings of nature and the scenery in spring, summer, fall and winter are pleasing to all.
