Shizuoka is a significant city located in central Japan, serving as the capital of Shizuoka Prefecture. The city is known for its prime location between Tokyo and Nagoya, offering spectacular views of Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak.
Historically, Shizuoka played an important role during the Edo period, being a post station on the Tōkaidō road that connected Edo (modern Tokyo) with Kyoto. The city has a rich cultural heritage, particularly in traditional Japanese arts and crafts, including tea cultivation - Shizuoka produces around 40% of Japan's green tea.
The local arts scene is supported by various cultural institutions, including museums that showcase both traditional Japanese art and contemporary works. The city's cultural landscape is also shaped by its historical connection to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, who spent his retirement years in Shizuoka.
