“Shimizu Sushi Museum” on the first floor is Japan’s first sushi theme park ! There is also a great line up of sushi restaurants, around 10 of them are gathered in an alley called “Sushi Yokocho”. From full-fledged Edo-mae sushi prepared in front of you to sushi train (rotation sushi) restaurants, you can have fresh sushi any way you want to !

The “Shimizu Sushi Museum” is divided by theme, including a reconstitution of the Shimizu Port during the Meiji era, about 100 years ago, and an exhibition introducing sushi from all over Japan. You can enjoy this museum’s nostalgic atmosphere in kimono if you wish ! You coud rent it at the entrance 🙂

Nowadays sushi is known throughout the world, but it is surely interesting to know its roots and history in Japan!

Chibi Maruko chan is originally a girl’s comic story by Momoko SAKURA. “Chibi Maruko-chan” is a fun and heartwarming work that depicts the daily life of Maruko in her hometown Shimizu : it is an autobiographical manga by the author. It has been adapted into an anime series and is very popular as a comical animation !
