What’s that just soaring out over the ridge just beyond the bay? 🌄🌺
On the coast of Suruga Bay running along the Tokaido Road in Shizuoka Prefecture, you’ll find Satta Pass. Japanese people have traveled along the Tokaido Road for many centuries, and Satta Pass is well known as a scenic overlook to the people of Japan. To the east, the azure waters of the bay. To the west, the verdant mountainside. And directly ahead, the often-snow-capped peak of Mt. Fuji rising above the route.
The wonderful scenery alone has inspired photographers, artists, and many more for generations. The most well known is a woodblock print by the artist Utagawa Hiroshige from the 19th century. Nowadays the Tokaido is made up of highways and train tracks, which adds to the contrast of the modern world with the Japan of the past!
