The Port of Shimizu is located in a beautiful area with many opportunities for travelers. Within the city is the S-Pulse Dream Plaza, a modern complex that contains Japan’s first sushi museum, Chibimaruko-chan Land, and the Shimizu Soccer Museum. In addition to these attractions, the Plaza also has a movie theater as well as many shops (including 10 different sushi shops), restaurants, a fresh food market, and game centers.

Miho no Matsubara is the peninsula stretching into Matsubara Bay. With wonderful green pine trees, white waves on a crystal blue sea, and Mount Fuji in the background, it looks more like an artist’s dream than a real place. The Miho no Matsubara is home to a 650-year-old Japanese black pine tree that is the base of legends. Under the tree’s huge branches is a statue of Elene Giuglaris, a French ballerina, who danced to a Noh song.

The Port of Shimizu is just 37 kilometers southeast of the famous Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest mountain and a sacred site. This dormant volcano last erupted in 1708. You can enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Fuji from the very popular Hakone resort, a part of the national park famous for its hot springs and outdoor activities. Hakone is just 25 kilometers northeast of the Port of Shimizu.
