They're both nearly at the same latitude but obviously located in different hemispheres.
Auckland, New Zealand is a mild paradise for most of the year but features crummers, drizzle and plain old oceanic-boringness. On the other hand, Shizouka, Japan can't stop raining for most of the year leading to steambath summers (although they're relatively not that hot) but for four-season lovers they do have more seasonality, especially in terms of avg lows, even if their record low is rather limited. Also they're the sunniest major city in Japan, although that isn't saying much.
Which one would you pick? I'd go for Shizouka because the winters are inoffensive, its hotter in summer with many thunderstorms I'd imagine and the rain doesn't make it overly cloudy. I mean they get nearly twice the amount of rain as Auckland but clock in more sun hours lol.

). Shizouka has colder winter lows, but the winters are also drier and sunnier. Summer is a bit gloomy but not bad for the amount of rain they get (and not much worse than AKL). Plus most likely more storms, possibility of snow, etc. plus slightly sunnier overall.
