EXPERIENCE_
izumigaya

Shizuoka City is where Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Shogun who ended the warring era and founded Japan’s Edo period, spent much of his life. Today, Izumigaya proudly carries on the legacy of traditional craftsmanship that Tokugawa gathered in order to build his new capital here. At Takumishuku, Japan’s largest traditional craft experience center, you can experience hands-on workshops in bamboo, lacquerware, woodworking, dyeing, pottery, and model making—all guided by skilled artisans.

But that’s not it. Just a 10-minute stroll from Takumishuku, you’ll discover temples, historical landmarks, museums, and even a local beekeeping farm.
Walk meandering riverside paths lined with charming old houses and shops that make you feel like you’re in a painting. Witness the moon rising between the lush, green mountains—a timeless view that has inspired awe for generations.
With unrivaled atmospheres and dog-friendly establishments, Izumigaya offers a warm welcome for any family looking for that special retreat.

EAT_

One of the delights of visiting Izumigaya is savoring the local cuisine made with the seasonal bounty of this region’s mountains and seas. From authentic, highly acclaimed course meals to comforting dishes like Shizuoka Oden—a slow-cooked stew beloved by locals since childhood—there’s something to suit every palate.

Don’t miss the rich varieties of locally made honey, or another savory delight Tororo-jiru made from grated yam. Many restaurants also showcase their dishes on handcrafted Japanese tableware, adding an extra touch of artistry to every meal.
