The city of Fuji, located in eastern Shizuoka, is the third largest city by population in the prefecture. Blessed with nature, starting with the World Heritage Site “Fujisan” [Mt. Fuji] to the north and “Suruga Wan” [Suruga Bay] to the south. Thankful to its water resources and lumber supplies nearby, the paper making industry has been active for generations, and it is said to be one of the leading “Paper Towns” in Japan. In addition to paper manufacturing, the chemical business and the automobile industries are thriving in Fuji City, resulting in one of the leading industrial areas in the prefecture.
After sunset, the factories surrounding “Tagonoura Ko” [Tagonoura Port] transform into a stunning nightscape, turning the area into a unique tourist attraction.
