Shizuoka (city)

Shizuoka is bordered by the vast Southern Alps to the north and Suruga Bay and the Sea of Enshu to the south. When one hears the word "Shizuoka," the first thing that comes to mind is Mt. Fuji, which stretches from sea level to its summit, can be seen from every spot in Shizuoka Prefecture, including Miho no Matsubara and Mt.

Shizuoka also has other tourist attractions such as the World Heritage Site of the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace, the Izu Peninsula Geopark (one of the World Geoparks), the Atami Hot Springs, Mishima Taisha Shrine, and Kunouzan Toshogu Shrine, which attract many tourists every year.
