Mikuni Pass

Overview

Mikuni Pass, located in Izu-no-Kuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is renowned as a spectacular viewpoint offering panoramic vistas of Mount Fuji, the Amagi Mountains, and the Hakone mountain range. Situated at an altitude of approximately 650 meters, the pass features a parking area and a well-maintained observation deck, making it easily accessible. The name "Mikuni Pass" (Three Countries Pass) is said to originate from the fact that three mountain ranges—Mount Fuji, the Amagi Mountains, and the Hakone mountains—are visible from the pass. The scenery is particularly stunning in spring with fresh, vibrant greenery and in autumn with the vibrant colors of the autumn foliage, drawing numerous visitors each year. In spring, the mountainsides are painted in vivid greens, and in autumn, the slopes blaze with reds and yellows. With Mount Fuji majestically rising before you, and the Amagi and Hakone mountains also in view, you can enjoy a truly magnificent panorama. On a clear day, Mount Fuji stands out sharply, its grandeur breathtaking. The Mikuni Pass Observation Deck provides an excellent vantage point to admire Mount Fuji, the Amagi Mountains, and the Hakone mountains. You can also see Suruga Bay and the Izu Peninsula from the observation deck, making it a truly exceptional viewpoint. Mikuni Pass is the perfect stop during a scenic drive or a rewarding destination for a hike. Come and experience the awe-inspiring panorama of Mikuni Pass!
