Yaizu is among the finest fishing ports in Japan, with massive catches of bonito and tuna at Yaizu Port and whitebait and Sakura shrimp at Oigawa. Surrounded by hills and rivers, it has ample water resources and many awesome hot springs. The climate is mild, and the people are easy-going. The open and genial atmosphere befitting a “port town” has attracted people not only from Japan but also from other climes, including Koizumi Yakumo. Perhaps the people of Yaizu, who live with and enjoy the sea, rivers, and mountains, are naturally possessed of a Zen spirit. Take a deep breath, come as you are, as if a local. Feel and flow with the time and breeze in Yaizu – and take a trip to replenish the soul.

カツオやマグロで有名な焼津港とシラスや桜エビが揚がる大井川港、日本屈指の漁獲量を誇る漁港の町、焼津。丘陵や川に囲まれ、水資源も豊富で良質な温泉も多い。気候は温暖で人柄は陽気だ。港町という言葉が似合う、オープンであたたかい雰囲気は、国内はもちろん、遡ると小泉八雲をはじめ海外の人をも魅了してきた。海、川、山とともに生き、感謝する焼津の人たちには自ずと禅のスピリットが備わっているのかも。そこに暮らすよう、ありのままに、深呼吸。焼津に流れる時と風を感じて、心がほぐれ整う旅へ。
