Today’s itinerary is first to a very famous shrine via cable car, lots of steps. The tour was not well attended due in part to steps and an up charge. Next, a very famous fish market for sashimi lunch.

Shizuoka is the number one green tea producing region started by the final Shogun. When the Meiji era started, they needed to find jobs for the samurai Warriors, who were unemployed. Keep tea plantations a solution.

Shimizu Fish Market “Kashi no ichi” is located in front of JR Shimizu Station.

Just what it looks like

Prearranged lunch

Very fresh, unfortunately lots of salty stuff I couldn’t eat or wouldn’t eat but sashimi was excellent.

Inside the market quite standard. Fresh and prepared items.
