Susono, Industrial city at Mount Fuji foothills, Japan

Susono extends across 138 square kilometers of eastern Shizuoka Prefecture, with Mount Fuji, Mount Ashitaka, and Hakone Mountains shaping its landscape.

The area transformed from Tokugawa shogunate territory to a modern city through the 1889 establishment of a railway station and municipal mergers in 1952.

The Suyama Sengen Shrine, part of Mount Fuji UNESCO World Heritage Site, features 500-year-old cedar trees and traditional purification rituals.

The city maintains eight elementary schools, five middle schools, one public high school, and provides access to major transportation routes including the Tomei Expressway.

Toyota Corporation initiated the construction of Woven City in 2021, establishing an experimental smart city project within Susono boundaries.
