The castle where shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu spent his childhood and his retirement. The moats, reconstructed turrets and East Gate sit in an open park in central Shizuoka City, an easy train hop from the port. Pair it with Sengen Shrine next door for a half-day of Ieyasu history.

Arrival berths and times are published by the Shimizu Port Passenger Ship Committee. Note: if your ship docks at Okitsu Pier, walking out is not permitted — plan transport ahead.
