A must-visit place if you go to Izu Shimoda!

Shimoda Clock Tower Front is a one-minute walk from Izukyu Shimoda Station.

It is a long-established souvenir and restaurant that was founded at the same time as the station opened in 1961. 🐟

The retro building is marked by a sea cucumber wall and a clock tower, and is popular among tourists as the "gateway to Shimoda".

The store is divided into a souvenir shop, a restaurant, and a cafe, and has a wide selection of local specialties and original products. The Shimoda Milk Mochi is particularly popular, with a chewy texture and gentle sweetness. Some reviews say that they sell more than 1,000 pieces a day, and they sometimes sell out, so we recommend buying them immediately if you find them.

At the restaurant, you can enjoy dishes made with fresh local seafood. For example, the "Grilled Local Kinmedai Sushi and Soba Set" is an exquisite match of the umami of the Kinmedai and the flavor of the soba, and has received high praise from many customers. There are also plenty of dishes unique to Shimoda, such as "Shimoda Curry Udon" and "Simmered Golden-Eyed Snapper Set Meal."

In the cafe space, you can enjoy carefully selected sweets and drinks, such as "Shimoda Cream Anmitsu," made with homemade bean paste and tokoroten, and "Ultimate Black Tea," grown without fertilizer or pesticides in Shizuoka Prefecture.
