Flow of the course

About this spot

A large complex commercial facility located right beside Shimizu Port. With gathered restaurants and shops, it is a classic Shimizu sightseeing spot where you can easily enjoy Shimizu gourmet cuisine and souvenirs. With a location where you can feel the sea breeze of the harbor as you walk, the facility layout is family-friendly. Having a substantial lunch here as the starting point of the day will make your afternoon sightseeing more enjoyable. On the day of the fireworks festival, surrounding roads become congested from late afternoon onward, so completing your souvenir shopping during this time makes things easier later. Begin your full day with the open atmosphere of Shimizu Port.

Tips

About 15 minutes by bus or on foot from JR Shimizu Station (JR清水駅). Parking is available. Restaurants can be crowded during certain hours, so entering early right after opening ensures a smooth visit. Purchase souvenirs here and store them at your car or luggage storage to move around lightly during the afternoon.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. The early afternoon time slot is relatively uncrowded, allowing you to enjoy lunch at ease.
