Our guide
The Makinohara Plateau lies in south-eastern Enshū, in central-western Shizuoka, between the lower Ōi River and the Kiku River, and spreads across the cities of Shimada, Makinohara and Kikugawa. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
We have not checked viewpoints or a public-transport route, so plan the journey on the map and look for local information before you go.
