Shimizu

Shimizu is a port favoured by many Cruise Lines for its view of Mt Fuji. But Mt Fuji is fickle at the best of times and was cloud covered most of the day except at our arrival and departure. The fish market is very small in comparison to its better known counterparts in Tokyo and Osaka but it nevertheless does not disappoint offering up fresh seafood well prepared and presented by the many restaurants next to the market. I fortuitously stumbled upon a Japanese Taiko Drum exhibition at the Shimizu Marine Park.
