Matsuzaki

Among Shizuoka Prefecture’s coastal towns, Matsuzaki stands apart for its surviving namako-kabe plasterwork and its setting on Suruga Bay. On the west coast of the Izu Peninsula, the town spreads around the mouth of the Naka River, with sea routes and steep peninsula terrain shaping its identity. Matsuzaki is closely associated with Chōhachi Irie, a celebrated Edo- and Meiji-era plasterer born here; the Izu no Chōhachi Museum presents his intricate decorative plaster art. Traditional storehouses and former merchant buildings give parts of the centre a distinctive historic texture.
