Fujieda combines the atmosphere of an old highway town with the pace of a present-day Shizuoka community in a way that reflects its position on the Shida Plain, where the Seto River runs down from the surrounding hills. During the Edo period, Fujieda-juku and Okabe-juku served as post stations on the Tōkaidō, the route connecting Edo and Kyoto; their legacy still gives the city a clear place in Japan’s travel history. Tea cultivation is another enduring local thread, with fields and producers in the hill country around the urban area.
