Omaezaki City is located between Matsuhama City and Shizuoka City, and in the south you can see natural features such as capes, lighthouses, and sand dunes. The city is adjacent to a port capable of docking huge containers, and a nuclear power plant. In addition, Shizuoka Airport was completed in recent years, and air and road facilities have been improved, making the area said to be developing more than ever before. One of the highlights of this area is the green sea turtle. This area has been designated a natural monument as a place where large numbers of green sea turtles can be seen. For this reason, sea turtle monitors are stationed and conservation efforts are ongoing to prevent the species from becoming endangered. It is a wonderful town that works in this way to prevent changes to the ecosystem.
