Mori

Few towns in Shizuoka Prefecture have a history as closely tied to tea cultivation as Mori. Set along the Ōta River in western Shizuoka, this inland community lies between low wooded hills and the Enshū coastal plain. Tea remains a defining local crop, with Mori tea forming part of the prefecture’s long-established tea tradition. Mori is often known as the Little Kyoto of Enshū, a reference to its shrines, traditional streetscape and enduring local customs. Oguni Shrine, surrounded by woodland, is among the area’s best-known Shinto sites. Browse other webcams across Shizuoka Prefecture to place this river valley in a wider geographic context.
