Situated between Atami and Hakone in Shizuoka Prefecture, Jukkoku Pass offers panoramic views of Mount Fuji, Suruga Bay, and the Izu Peninsula. A cable car transports visitors to the summit, where an observation deck provides 360-degree vistas. On clear days, the scenery extends to Sagami Bay and even as far as the Boso Peninsula. The pass is named “Jukkoku,” meaning “ten provinces,” reflecting the expansive view encompassing ten historical regions. The area is particularly popular during cherry blossom season and autumn foliage. Jukkoku Pass serves as a tranquil spot for nature appreciation and photography.
