Yaizu, Fishing port city in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
Yaizu extends along the western coast of Suruga Bay, featuring a deep-water harbor that accommodates large fishing vessels and processing facilities.
The establishment of Yaizu Fishing Cooperative in 1903 marked the beginning of commercial frozen fish transportation to Tokyo's Tsukiji market in 1908.
The local fishing heritage shapes daily life through maritime festivals, seafood markets, and traditional fish preservation methods passed down through generations.
The city maintains direct rail connections to major urban centers, with the main station providing access to both local and express services throughout Shizuoka Prefecture.
Yaizu Port ranks first in Japan for bonito and tuna landings, processing over 200,000 tons of marine products annually.
