Fukuroi
Fukuroi lies along the Pacific coastal plain of western Shizuoka Prefecture, with low farmland and residential districts extending between the Enshū-nada coast and inland hills. The city developed around Fukuroi-juku, the 27th post station on the Edo-period Tōkaidō road linking Edo and Kyoto. Today, Fukuroi combines commuter neighbourhoods, agriculture and major transport corridors, while small managed waterways thread through its lowland setting. It is also home to Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa, which hosted matches during the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Hattasan Soneiji Temple adds a longstanding religious presence to this part of Shizuoka.

Fukuroi has served as a post town in western Shizuoka Prefecture since the Edo period. Fukuroi-juku was the 27th of the 53 stations on the Tōkaidō, the road linking Edo with Kyoto, and this historic role still shapes the city’s identity. The municipality reaches the Enshū-nada coast on the Pacific Ocean, while its inland districts lie on a broad coastal plain. Kasuisai, a Soto Zen temple founded in 1394, is known for seasonal displays of Hina dolls. Modern Fukuroi also contains Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa, a venue used during the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Shizuoka Prefecture is best known in Japan for Mount Fuji, whose southern slopes extend into the prefecture. Facing the Pacific Ocean, it runs from the deep waters of Suruga Bay to mountain country inland; the Ōi River crosses its central plains before reaching the sea. Tea cultivation is central to local identity, and Shizuoka is one of Japan’s leading green-tea producing areas. The old Tōkaidō route also passed through the prefecture, linking Edo with Kyoto and leaving a chain of former post towns. Coastal ports, tea fields and volcanic foothills give this part of Honshu a varied setting. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Shizuoka Prefecture.
