Fujieda

Fujieda is a commuter town in Shizuoka Prefecture that spreads between two major rivers, connecting residential neighborhoods with agricultural areas. The town is surrounded by gentle hills, while the central part remains relatively flat and is crossed by railway lines.

The place grew during the Edo period as a post station along the historic road connecting Edo with Kyoto. Travelers stopped here to rest and change horses before continuing their journey.

The area sits in a region known for tea cultivation, and the fields stretch across flat valleys between gentle hills. Visitors can see the green plantations where families have worked for generations, tending to their crops.

The central station offers regular connections along the main line linking larger cities. Visitors can easily move around on foot or by bicycle in the flat surroundings.

The town participates in an international network for health promotion and regularly organizes public activities for exercise and wellness. Visitors often see groups walking together or taking part in park activities.
