Okitsu is a place name in Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The seashore around here has been known since ancient times as Kiyomigata, and famed as a poetic place-name (utamakura). It is said that the name of the site is derived from the fact that Okitsu-Shimahime-no-Mikoto, one of the deities enshrined at Okitsu Munakata Shrine, made her dwelling in this land. There are other theories that it came from the rise of tin, the rise of fresh water ports, and the residence of Mr. Sato, who led the navy from the time of the end of peace. It is also said that the names in ancient times were called in secret. The area now called Okitsu coincides with the former town of Okitsu, which merged into the then city of Shimizu in 1961.
