Shizuoka's food cultureKnow

Mt. Fuji symbolizes Gotemba City, which is surrounded by rich nature. Not only is it a beautiful landscape, but the underground water that has been gushing out over many years is closely connected to the lives of the people living in Gotemba. The subterranean water and semi-cold climate produce the exquisite sweet Gotenbakoshi Hikari, which won the prefectural governor's award six years in a row at the Japan's Best Rice Contest in Shizuoka.
