Here are some photos from Shimizu.

Shizuoka Bank

It was right by Shimizu Station, so I just took a shot of it.

You can see Mt. Fuji behind the McDonald’s.

Getting to see a view like this every day has to be one of the best things about Shimizu.

Mt. Fuji

This is just a view I snapped in passing.

A ramen shop I photographed in passing

It looked like a fairly well-known place. I took a shot of it for the record.

A cafe I came across while walking along

The sign reading Tomiya Coffee is rather cute.

A view of the town centre

The sea is close by, so there are a lot of bridges.

The Ferris wheel

This town is the home of Chibi Maruko-chan, an anime that has been on the air in Japan since a very long time ago. There’s a theme park for it here, it turns out. That Ferris wheel looks like it’s part of the same thing.

Shimizu Port

The harbour

The harbour with Mt. Fuji in view

It was partly hidden by cloud, but I could see Mt. Fuji and the sea at the same time. A lovely view.

The harbour seen from the shopping mall

Nice atmosphere.

Chibi Maruko-chan Land, 25th anniversary

I’m not that big a fan of Chibi Maruko-chan, so I didn’t go in.

Shimizu Sushi Museum

There’s even a sushi museum, so sushi must really be famous here.

Sushi restaurants

They’ve turned the whole thing into a little town.

Manpuku-gai

There’s a street here with all sorts of things to eat.

Fujimori donburi

Maybe because Mt. Fuji is close by, they sell menu items like this too.
