Recognizing that our city exists as it does today due to the accumulated history of our forebears, the Shizuoka City Museum of History aims to communicate the value and appeal of Shizuoka’s unique historical and cultural resources, and establish “Ogosho Ieyasu and Sumpu” as the image of the city. By arousing admiration for Shizuoka City among visitors, serving as a nucleus for its historic sites, and deepening the love and pride of its citizens towards their home town, the museum will become a center of life and activity in the city, and play a role in counteracting population decline. As a base for developing a city of history and culture, the museum will also contribute to the realization of Shizuoka as a “City of World Standards”, and create a new future for the city alongside its citizens.
