Mishima

Mishima lies along the Genpei River in eastern Shizuoka Prefecture, where clear springs fed by Mount Fuji meet the lower slopes of the Hakone mountains. Water is central to the city’s identity: streams run through central districts, and the Genpei River is known for its transparent flow and waterside paths. Mishima Taisha, long regarded as Izu’s leading Shinto shrine, is associated with Minamoto no Yoritomo, who is said to have prayed there before rising to power in the late 12th century. Mishima also prospered as Mishima-shuku, a post station on the Edo-period Tokaido linking Edo and Kyoto.
