Colourful and Charming Trains of Shizuoka Prefecture

"Shizuoka Railway" is a short 11km line that connects the center of Shizuoka City with Shimizu. Seven of the 12 trains are the "shizuoka rainbow trains," colour-coded in seven hues inspired by Shizuoka’s many local number ones. The ride offers views of the cityscape, with opportunities to glimpse Mt. Fuji and cross the Tomoe River - an experience that captures the essence of Shizuoka and the charm of a local railway.

Take in Views of Mt. Fuji Alongside the Trains

Although Mount Fuji is a little far from Shizuoka City, there are some viewing spots where you can see it from where the Shizuoka Railway trains run. The contrast between Mount Fuji, visible from the footbridge near Yunoki Station, and the colorful trains running alongside the national highway creates a beautiful scene, making it a recommended spot for photography.

An Impressive Viewpoint With Trains Passing Nearby

The Tomoe River is the point the train passes just before arriving at its final destination, Shin-Shimizu Station. It is an impressive viewing spot where trains can be seen up close as they cross the railway bridge from the side road along the river. On clear days, the reflection of the trains on the calm water surface also makes for excellent photography.
