Shizuoka Pref. Shizuokashi Shimizu-ku Irifunechou 13-15

"S-Pulse Dream Plaza is a shopping center located around one minute's walk from the Shizutetsu Justline Bus Hatoba Verkehr Hakubutsukan bus stop. Based around the concept of ""Let's create excitement,"" S-Pulse Dream Plaza was created as part of a waterfront area redevelopment project, through collaboration between local business enterprises and the local government. Each of the four floors has its own particular theme, and on weekends the Plaza attracts large numbers of visitors, both locals and tourists from further afield. There is a movie theatre, fashion boutiques, sporting goods stores, the Shimizu Sushi Museum, and Chibi Maruko Land, an interactive, participative museum featuring Chibi Maruko-chan, a manga comic and TV cartoon character who is very popular in Japan, as well as a restaurant featuring school lunch from the era in which Chibi Maruko-chan is set (the 1970s)."

Nothing too exciting about this mall, besides the movie complex on the top and the ferry wheel, right outside. But the location is nice, by the water, near shimizu port.

Shizuoka Areas

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
