| The
National Epilepsy Center is located 6 kilometers from downtown Shizuoka,
in the northeast part of the city. It is surrounded by rice fields and
mountains in which mandarin oranges and green tea are cultivated. These
surroundings, together with Shizuoka's mild climate, make the National
Epilepsy Center an ideal place in which to convalesce. The
area in which the hospital is located - a "Medical Treatment, Welfare
and Education" complex - also includes the Shizuoka Prefectural
Children's Hospital and Special Education Schools for physically and
intellectually disabled children. The bustling Seishin (Shizuoka-Shimizu)
Central Wholesale market is located one kilometer east of the National
Epilepsy Center.
