Shimizu

Arrived around 6:00am and got a photo of Mt Fuji in cloud but after lunch the clouds disappeared and she was an amazing sight for a very short time until the clouds and rain arrived to bid us farewell back to Tokyo, t was extremely windy here today which allowed this to happen apparently, according to the locals.

Shimizu is a town in Suntō District of Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. As of 1 August 2019, the town had an estimated population of 32,453 in 14058 households and a population density of 3,700 persons per km2. The total area of the town was 8.81 square kilometres.

Not a lot to do around the port area but a last little bit of shopping, I found some good Nike runners and acted pairs of good traveling shorts. 👍

The local market stalls were set up when we arrived and did a roaring business being our last port before getting off tomorrow, and everyone getting rid of their Yen 🇯🇵

A nice entertainment area around the waterfront for kids and many restaurants to choose from, a few parks and a large market area for weekends.
There were local sightseeing boats docked but not operating today.
Overall a great trip, heating back to Tokyo tonight to catch our flight home.Weiterlesen
