Suruga Province
Suruga (駿河国; -no kuni) was an old province in the area that is today the eastern part of Shizuoka prefecture. Suruga bordered on Izu, Kai, Sagami, Shinano, and Tōtōmi provinces; and had access to the Pacific Ocean through Suruga Bay.
The ancient capital was near the modern Shizuoka city, which was the most
important town in the feudal period as well. The province was ruled by the Imagawa clan for much of the
Edo-era
