Shizuoka's Contemporary Industry and
Economy
 A
rich environment, mild climate and strong
historical and cultural heritage are the
ingredients for a promising economy.
Shizuoka's long cultural and handicraft
traditions have given birth to many regional
industries that are deeply integrated in Shizuoka's
economic history.
Due to its limited available land, commerce,
service and other industries make up two thirds of
Shizuoka's entire economy.
 Shizuoka
has been an active regional center for 1500 years
and has always played an important role in being
the connecting point between major industrial
cities.
Information exchange and the technological
infrastructure that has been set up has
tremendously benefited Shizuoka's industry in many
ways.
Shizuoka has initiated the promotion of
information-communication technology in order to
keep up with the "IT Revolution" that is occurring
worldwide.
