Features Both World-renowned Destinations and Underexplored Gems
Tokai area is located where the Japanese archipelago divides into east and west. The area gets a marine culture from the Tsushima Current on the Sea of Japan coast and the Kuroshio Current on the Pacific Ocean coast. It also has a mountain culture created by its many peaks, such as the Japan Alps. There are many diverse ways to enjoy the region.
Tokai, made up of Shizuoka, Yamanashi, Aichi, Mie and Gifu prefectures, is located in the very center of Japan. Possibly the most quintessentially Japanese of all the country's regions, the five prefectures that comprise Tokai mix ancient heritage, modern industry and stunning nature. Mt. Fuji, flanked by the hot springs of Izu Peninsula and the Fuji Five Lakes, is one of the world's most iconic peaks. Tokai both embraces the past and looks toward the future with World Heritage site Shirakawa-go and its thatched-roof cottages, the nation's biggest green tea plantations and Ise-jingu, the most revered shrine in Japan.
