Shizuoka Shows Charms to Expo Visitors

Write: Farid [2011-05-20]
VISITORS to the Japanese Industry Pavilion can sip green tea from Shizuoka, appreciate its performing art and learn about its hot spring culture during a week-long promotion of the Japanese prefecture, which runs until August 22.
JAM9, a musical band from Hamamatsu, a city in Shizuoka, performed at the JAL stage of the pavilion yesterday to celebrate the opening of the week.
Shizuoka was the home of the first Tokugawa Shogun. Japan`s iconic Mount Fuji straddles the boundary of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures.
Shizuoka has a population of about 3.8 million and is two and a half hours away from Shanghai by flight.
