Stroll Around the Station Area Until Evening While Searching for Shizuoka Souvenirs
About this spot
The areas around Shizuoka Station's North and South exits are filled with shopping facilities and covered shopping streets offering abundant Shizuoka souvenirs including Shizuoka tea, Abekawa rice cakes (abekawa mochi), and wasabi products. On the day of the fireworks festival, arrive early in the afternoon before crowds gather to leisurely browse souvenirs and store larger purchases in coin lockers at the station, allowing you to move freely until evening. Takeout restaurants serving Shizuoka oden and established Japanese sweet shops are scattered around the station area, making it enjoyable to sample light snacks while strolling. This location also serves well as a final rest stop before heading to the fireworks venue.
Fireworks details

静岡市葵区の安倍川河川敷を舞台に繰り広げられる、静岡を代表する夏の花火大会です。2026年7月18日(土)の19時30分から21時まで、約15,000発の花火が打ち上げられます。遮るものの少ない河川敷の広い空いっぱいに開く大玉やスターマインは迫力満点で、川面に揺れる光の反射が花火の美しさをさらに引き立てます。安倍川の川風に吹かれながら眺める夏の夜空は、静岡の短い夏を刻む特別な時間です。フィナーレの連発が夜空を染め上げる瞬間は、この1日のクライマックスにふさわしい光景です。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は静岡市や大会公式の情報で当日に確認を。終了後は周辺道路と静岡駅方面の歩行者が大変混み合います。フィナーレ後はすぐ移動せず、しばらく河川敷で余韻を楽しんでから混雑が落ち着いた頃に帰路につくのがおすすめです。帰りは静鉄バスや徒歩での分散帰宅を心がけましょう。
