Shimizu, Former harbor city in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
Shimizu extends along the northwest coast of Suruga Bay, featuring a deep commercial port protected by the natural formation of Cape Miho.
The city gained municipal status in 1924 and operated independently until 2003 when it merged with Shizuoka City to form a consolidated administrative region.
The Daidogei World Cup, established in 1992, brings international street performers to various locations throughout Shimizu each November.
The Port of Shimizu functions as the largest tuna port in Japan, supporting extensive fishing operations and maritime trade activities.
The Ryuge Temple contains a fern palm specimen that has existed for over 1000 years, marking centuries of natural preservation.
