Shizuoka Prefecture is a long, horizontal prefecture. The Hamamatsu area is on the Aichi side, while Shizuoka City is right in the middle.

Fuji, and Miho-no-Matsubara in Shimizu City is one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Shizuoka. The pine trees on the shore, the sea and Mt. Fuji are just like the world of Utagawa Hiroshige's Ukiyo. There is also a museum in Shimizu called Chibimaruko-chan Land.
Shizuoka City has a bronze statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu, so I think Shimizu City has more to offer in terms of sightseeing.
