If only the time-worn walls of Shizuoka castle could talk! But seeing they can't, inquire if tours are available to hear a couple of its intriguing tales instead.
Sunpu Castle is an ideal place kick off your day in Aoi Ward. This fortified complex comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Nihondaira Observation Deck, Shizuoka Sengen Jinja Shrine, and Shizuoka City Museum of Art to really experience what the area has to offer.
