Numazu, Special city in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

Situated at the northwestern end of the Izu Peninsula, Numazu extends across 186 square kilometers between Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay.

Numazu gained the status of special city in 1923, developing from its origins as the provincial capital of Suruga Province during the Edo period.

The Numazu Fireworks Festival displays traditional pyrotechnic arts over the harbor while celebrating the maritime heritage of this coastal community.

The central train station connects directly to Tokyo through the Tokaido Main Line, with additional bus services linking to Mount Fuji and Hakone.
