A town where you can enjoy the art and culture of the Edo period, and the delicious local specialty sakura shrimp
Yui-shuku, located at the eastern foot of Satta Pass, was the 16th post station on the Tokaido Road, and was the smallest of all post stations now in Shizuoka Prefecture. Today, Yui Honjin Park, developed on the site of the honjin (an inn for traveling feudal lords), is home to the Shizuoka City Tokaido Hiroshige Museum of Art, the first museum in Japan to bear the name of the ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, where visitors can experience the art and culture of the Edo Period (1603 - 1868). In the modern day, the local specialty is fresh sakura shrimp from Yui Fishing Port, and many restaurants in the area serve sakura shrimp cuisine.
