Train station • Kanbara, Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka, 421-3203, Japan
Kambara, located at the western end of Shizuoka City, is a quiet port town. The roundabout in front of the station is adorned with fishing boats symbolizing the once thriving cherry shrimp fishing industry in this area. Step out of the harbor and you'll find the small town streets. The tranquil atmosphere of the quiet port town pervades the area.
The charm of Kambara lies in its fresh seafood. Small fish shops and izakayas scattered around town offer reasonably priced locally-sourced fresh seafood. From cherry shrimp to horse mackerel, mackerel, squid, and more, the freshly caught seafood from the sea is exquisite.
Shops and a large shopping center are available in front of Kambara Station, providing a convenient environment for residents. On the other hand, if you move a little away from the station, you'll find old streets that have continued since the Edo period. Exploring the historic streets while savoring seafood and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the port town is also a pleasure.
The charm of Kambara lies in the leisurely flow of time, contrasting with the bustle of the big city. Enjoying the morning's fresh fish while gazing at the sea, relaxing and taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, can be a healing experience. Conversations with local people, infused with humor, are sure to be one of the highlights of the trip.
