Send Flowers to Shizuoka, Japan

On a clear morning Mount Fuji rises directly behind Shizuoka, and the hills around the city are striped with tea fields. This is the home of Japanese green tea, and the first harvest in late April and May is a season of gift giving in its own right.

Shizuoka sits on the Pacific coast between Tokyo and Nagoya and enjoys one of the mildest climates on the main island, with little frost and almost no snow in town. The shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu spent his retirement here, and the grounds of his Sunpu Castle are now a park in the centre. Aoi ward is the administrative and shopping district, Suruga ward lies toward the sea, and Shimizu is a working port with views across the bay to the pine grove of Miho.

Recipients include many retirees, drawn by the weather, and families with children studying in Tokyo. Flower delivery in Shizuoka takes place the next day, Monday to Saturday, for orders received before midnight Japan time. Same-day, Sunday and national holiday deliveries are not offered.
