Why Shimizu is Popular
🌊 1. Peaceful Coastal Living
Shimizu offers a calm, seaside environment — quieter than Tokyo or Osaka
The ocean air, views of Mt. Fuji, and slower pace of life appeal to retirees
Low noise, low stress = ideal for aging populations
🧘 2. Access to Nature & Scenic Walks
Beautiful walking areas like:
Miho no Matsubara – scenic pine grove with Mt. Fuji views
Shimizu Port Promenade
Nihondaira Plateau – panoramic viewpoints with ropeway access
Perfect for leisurely strolls, light hiking, and picnics
🏯 3. Cultural & Spiritual Sites
Shrines and temples that attract older generations:
Kunōzan Tōshō-gū Shrine – historic, peaceful, spiritually significant
Miho Shrine – tied to local legends and traditions
